On June 8, Xu Pao, Director of FFRC went to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to conduct exchanges on the development of aquatic seed industry and ecological fishery of open water. Li Hongqing, Secretary of the Party group and Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Deputy Director Liang Xiong, warmly welcomed Director Xu Pao.

Director Xu Pao and his colleagues investigated Guangxi Academy of Fishery Sciences and Guangxi Xinjian Investment Group Co., Ltd., and went to Nanning, Yulin, Hechi and other places in Guangxi for on-site inspections. During the exchange, Director Xu Pao said that the construction of Guangxi fish genetic breeding center with the model of “research institute + enterprise + government” can make full use of Guangxi's resource and environmental endowment, help fishery development of Guangxi, and radiate ASEAN. At the same time, Guangxi is rich in open water resources, so ecological fishery should be actively developed.

Secretary Li Hongqing said that the aquatic seed industry is a shortcoming in Guangxi's fishery development and should be supplemented as soon as possible. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region will also actively communicate with the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Ecological Environment, the Forestry Bureau and other departments to promote the development of ecological fishery of open water.
