A major event in its field, the 2025 Cross-Strait (Fuzhou) Fisheries Week, will be held on June 13-15 in Fuzhou, capital of East China's Fujian province.
It's set to serve as a key platform for exploring high-quality pathways in the marine economy and modern fisheries sector.

In addition, this year marks the first collaboration with the Permanent Secretariat of the Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Macao), extending invitations to nine Portuguese-speaking nations to enhance international cooperation in marine fisheries.
The event, featuring four main themes and 16 activities, covers forums on the marine economy and fisheries development, an exhibition of 40 years of achievements in deep-sea fisheries and a conference on fisheries cooperation among Southeast Asian countries.
Discussions on marine technology innovation, sustainable development and industry upgrades will aim to highlight the fusion of academia and industry.
Collaborations with key bodies, such as the Thai Tuna Industry Association and the Malaysia Aquaculture Development Association, will focus on technology exchanges. They will also focus on disease prevention and trade relations in aquaculture, showcasing advanced marine equipment driving transformation in the sector.
Simultaneously, the 17th China (Fuzhou) International Seafood & Fisheries Expo is being held during the event, expanding this year to cover a floor space of 57,000 square meters.
