Analysis of international competitiveness of Chinese aquatic seeding industry
The aquatic seeding industry,as the origin of the aquaculture production chain,plays a crucial role in leading the green development of aquaculture,promoting the transformation and upgrading of fisheries,and achieving modernization within the industry.This article calculates China's competitiveness in the aquatic seeding industry from an international perspective using trade competitiveness indices and net export comparative advantage indices.The results indicate that China's competitive advantage in fish seed is gradually diminishing,with negative values even appearing in 2021 and 2022.Similarly,both the trade competitiveness index and the net export comparative advantage index for crustacean seed were negative between 2017 and 2022,indicating relatively weak international competitiveness that requires strengthening.Conversely,mollusk seed primarily focuses on exports and has demonstrated strong foreign trade competitiveness with both indices consistently above zero from 2011 to 2022.The trade competitiveness index for aquatic invertebrate seeds shows significant annual fluctuations while the net export comparative advantage index remains relatively stable.Overall,aquatic invertebrate seeds exhibit a level of competitiveness above average.In conclusion,there is a need to further enhance China's trade competitiveness in fish seed,crustacean seed,and aquatic invertebrate seeds.To address this issue effectively,this paper proposes measures such as strengthening enterprises'position within commercial breeding systems,enhancing research and development capabilities for aquaculture breeding,cultivating high-quality varieties that meet market demand,and bolstering public information platform construction within the aquaculture seed industry.
