| Eel is a kind of high-quality edible fish with high protein and fat, and it is an important export agricultural
product of Guangdong Province. With the upgrading of consumption, domestic consumers are increasingly interested in this
nutritious aquatic product. Through the analysis of fishery statistics and field investigation, the development characteristics
of the four main eel production areas in China were found out. The eel industry in Fujian Province had the highest cluster
degree with strong competitiveness. Jiangsu Province has gained an important industrial status because of its unique eel fry
resources. Jiangxi obtained the late-development advantage of eel industry by virtue of favorable geographical conditions.
Guangdong eel industrial cluster has excellent breeding conditions and construction conditions of the whole industrial
chain, and eel output ranks first. The study aims to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of the current development of
eel industry in Guangdong, which can promote the upgrading and optimization of Guangdong eel industry cluster to achieve
sustainable development. Currently, the local quotient and concentration coefficient of Guangdong eel industry reached
3.16 and 4.93, showing the advantages of high industrial concentration and specialized production. However, the supply
coefficient of eel fry in the upstream of Guangdong eel industry chain is only 0.0045, and the supporting role of leading
enterprises in eel industry needs to be further enhanced. Based on these above, the following development countermeasures
are put forward, such as strengthening the supporting capacity of leading enterprises in Guangdong eel industry cluster, speeding up the construction of eel industry service system in Guangdong Province, and strengthening the close cooperation with
other major eel producing areas. |
