HANGZHOU, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — More than 4,000 vessels set out for the East China Sea on Tuesday after a four-month summer fishing ban ended, maritime affairs departments in eastern China's provinces said.

Maritime affairs departments in Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangsu provinces and Shanghai have launched operations to ensure marine fisheries safety.

As part of these efforts, 81 patrol boats, 38 aircraft and more than 700 law enforcement personnel have been deployed to patrol key shipping routes and areas where commercial and fishing vessels converge.

Marine and fisheries authorities have also joined forces to monitor waters where incidents frequently occur around the clock.

The summer fishing ban aims to restore fish stocks and ensure sustainable development. On August 5, the ban in the East China Sea was partially lifted for certain types of licensed fishing vessels.

Once the fishery fully resumes, fishing vessels are expected to mainly catch sea creatures such as scimitar fish, small yellow croaker and squid. -0-
