China will carry out voluntary fishing moratoriums in certain parts of high seas this year, said a circular released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. It said a fishing moratorium will be launched in certain parts of international waters of north Indian Ocean on a trial basis for the first time.
日前,農(nóng)業(yè)農(nóng)村部印發(fā)通知,部署實施2022年公海自主休漁措施。今年,我國首次在印度洋北部公海海域試行自主休漁。
During the fishing moratorium, all Chinese distant-water fishing vessels, including squid boats and trawlers, will stop fishing in related waters, said the ministry.
自主休漁期間,我國所有魷魚釣、拖網(wǎng)、燈光圍網(wǎng)(敷網(wǎng)和罩網(wǎng))等遠(yuǎn)洋漁船停止在休漁海域捕撈作業(yè)。
Since 2020, China has implemented voluntary fishing bans on key high seas fishing grounds in the southwest Atlantic and east Pacific, according to the ministry.
2020年以來,我國在西南大西洋、東太平洋等公海重點漁場,實行自主休漁措施。
