China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs ran a fisheries resource survey in waters east of Taiwan from July 17-23 using research vessel Blue Ocean 201 operated by the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences. The area is species-rich and an important spawning ground for tuna and other commercial species. Survey teams collected fish, cephalopod and crustacean specimens, environmental DNA samples, and acquired fisheries acoustic and hydro‑meteorological baseline data. Authorities said the data will inform resource conservation and sustainable marine fisheries management for the area.
