Measurement and analysis of edible consumption of aquatic products in China
This paper does comprehensive and systematic calculation of the edible consumption of aquatic products in China for the first time.Based on a series of conversion coefficients and a basic logic of deducting the non-edible consumption from the aquatic products total domestic supply from domestic aquatic products,the results of edible aquatic products consumption of Chinese resident in total and per capita from 2013 to 2022 are calculated,and they are divided into two cases depending on whether algae is included in line with international standards.The results show that in 2022,per capita consumption of aquatic products in China is 39.75kg(fresh weight),including 34.27kg of animal aquatic products and 5.48kg of algae.Compared with the recommended intake of balanced dietary standards,the current consumption of aquatic products in China is generally insufficient,and the gap between urban and rural areas and regional differences is significant.Also compared with the consumption of livestock and poultry meat,aquatic consumption is significantly smaller.The report also puts forward suggestions to stabilize and increase the production of aquatic products,promote the adjustment of the structure of aquatic products,cultivate the consumption habit of processed aquatic products,and actively explore the markets in the rural and western regions.
