What are the benefits of promoting fishery science and technology to aid Tibet?

Carrying out fishery science and technology aid to Tibet is one of the concrete actions to implement the requirements of academician expert workstation and the 20 18 fishery poverty alleviation and aid to Tibet work plan. The purpose is to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the overall arrangement of the central government for Tibet's work, give full play to the scientific and technological advantages of the fishery system according to the actual situation of Tibet's fishery development, and support and help Tibet to continuously consolidate the foundation of fishery development and change the mode of fishery development. We will promote the construction of a aquaculture protection system focusing on the protection of indigenous fish, a water ecology and fishery resources protection system focusing on international rivers and large lakes, and a modern fishery industry system focusing on cold-water fish farming, and embark on a modern fishery development path with Tibetan characteristics.

During the activity, the participating experts held a special discussion on fishery science and technology assistance to Tibet, signed a five-year plan and a tripartite agreement on fishery science and technology assistance to Tibet, held the unveiling ceremony of the expert workstation of Academician Nong Kou of Tibet, and signed an agreement between the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences and the Tibet Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to jointly build a research center for aquatic biological resources. Participants also visited Xizang Autonomous Region Indigenous Fish Breeding Base, National Agricultural Ecological Park and Lhasa Fishing Ground.

There are many rivers and lakes in Tibet, with vast waters and rich resources. Fishery development has a good foundation of water resources. Schizothorax fish, black spotted fish and Asian salmon have good research and development value. In recent years, Xizang Autonomous Region has attached great importance to fishery development, and the work of aquatic biological resources proliferation and release, the construction and management of germplasm reserves and fishery law enforcement has been paid more and more attention, and it has also been supported and embraced by the broad masses in Tibetan areas. In particular, the Fisheries Research Institute of Tibet Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry was established, and the cooperation with China Fisheries Research Institute and related scientific research institutes was strengthened, which not only filled the blank of Tibetan fisheries research, but also carried out basic research on indigenous fish breeding, research on the protection of plateau endemic fish and experimental demonstration of aquaculture, and trained a number of scientific and technological talents. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has set up a working group to assist Tibet in fishery science and technology, launched the special project of "Investigation on Fishery Resources and Environment in Key Waters of Tibet", increased support for the proliferation and release of aquatic organisms in Tibet and the protection of germplasm resources, actively selected outstanding cadres to take up their posts, and promoted the cooperation and exchanges between scientific research, promotion and teaching units and Tibet in fishery, and achieved remarkable results.

In his speech, Dean Cui introduced the fishery science and technology assistance work of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, and said that he would establish a research center for aquatic biological resources in Tibet with the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department of Xizang Autonomous Region, focusing on ecological protection and conservation of fishery waters, conducting investigation and evaluation of fishery resources and ecological environment, studying the protection, development and utilization of fishery germplasm resources in Tibet, breeding technology of rare fish with Tibetan characteristics and ecological compensation mechanism, and proposed to speed up the implementation of Tibet fishery scientific research and resource investigation projects, make full use of the results of scientific research and investigation, and accelerate the training of scientific and technological talents in Tibet.

In his speech, Deputy Director Li Shumin analyzed the situation and tasks faced by fishery aid to Tibet, and stressed that it is necessary to give full play to the role of the working group on fishery science and technology aid to Tibet, further clarify the work tasks, formulate the work plan, conduct in-depth research, and promote the implementation of all work.
