A Historical Investigation of Northeast Fishery Development in the Republic of China Period(1912-1931)
The unique natural environment and geographical location have brought abundant fishery resources to Northeast China,which is the material premise for the development of fishery in Northeast China.At the same time,the rich natural resources attracted the covet-ousness of foreign invaders.From 1912 to 1931,under the influence of domestic and foreign political and economic factors,Japan relied on the colonial power to plunder a large number of fishery resources in Northeast China,strengthen the control of ethnic fisheries,and con-tribute to the development of colonial fisheries.With the attention and support of the Chi-nese government and the joint efforts of insightful people,the fishery industry in Northeast China has achieved a certain degree of progress,and significant changes have taken place in terms of catch output,production methods,management methods,and business forms.However,under the control and squeeze of the Japanese invaders,a large number of eco-nomic benefits were still lost,and the development of the modern Northeast fishery economy suffered serious disadvantages.
