On May 1, 2026, the newly revised Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China will officially come into effect. This marks a systemic innovation in the history of China's fisheries development, signifying a comprehensive transition from "output priority" to "equal emphasis on quality and ecology." It sets legal boundaries and clear directions for the high-quality development of the aquatic industry. At this critical juncture of policy implementation, the 10th China International Aquatic Science and Technology Conference 2026 will be held in Chengdu on April 16-17. Guided by the new law and driven by market demand, the conference will build a bridge for industry-academia-research collaboration, comprehensively promoting the transformation and upgrading of the aquatic industry toward green, compliant, and high-efficiency development, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of China's and even the global aquatic industry.

Against this critical juncture of policy implementation, the 10th China International Aquatic Science and Technology Conference 2026 will be held in Chengdu on 16–17 April. Guided by the new law and market demand, the conference will bridge industry, academia, research and application, drive the aquaculture sector toward green, compliant and high-efficiency transformation and upgrading, and inject strong impetus into the high-quality development of China’s and even the global aquaculture industry.

The revised Fishery Law is the first major systematic revision since its enactment in 1986. It introduces clear regulations on farming record management, tail water treatment, green medication and other key areas. For fish farmers, it poses both compliance challenges and transformative opportunities. Centered on the requirements of the new law, this conference has systematically upgraded a matrix of 10 core highlights, building a new ecosystem for aquaculture development featuring deep integration of industry, academia, research and application.
