Abstract

Objective: To reach the goal of basically realizing fishery modernization by 2035, a goal which aims to achieve sustainable growth, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as Xinjiang), a representative region of inland fisheries, was selected as the research object. Method: Taking the Policy Modeling Consistency (PMC) index model as a theoretical basis and using the Weiciyun word-frequency statistics tool, ten existing fishery policies were analyzed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Result: In this study, we observed that (1) the existing fishery policies in Xinjiang have a certain degree of reasonableness; (2) area of research, implementation suggestions, policy evaluation, and policy disclosure provide an effective theoretical basis for the policy implementation process; and (3) poor performance in terms of policy timeliness, policy subject, policy nature, policy content, incentive mechanism, and constraints mechanism needs to be improved. Conclusion: Although the fishery policy shows its effectiveness, it still needs to be improved. Policy recommendations are as follows: (1) accelerate inter-regional coordination to ensure its long-term sustainable development; (2) deepen the scope of fishery policies and enhance the industry’s competitiveness; (3) promote the modernization of the fishery governance system; and (4) strengthen the education and publicity activities of fishery practitioners.
