--FILE--A fishing fleet departs from a harbor after the summer fishing moratorium ended in Zhoushan city, east China's Zhejiang province, 1 August 2016.Overfishing in Chinese rivers and seas has seriously depleted stocks and the government is to cut the size of the nation's fishing fleet, the agricultural ministry said. The ministry said there were practically "no fish" in the coastal East China Sea and fishermen also had a hard time finding a catch in many other coastal waters, according to a state radio report on Sunday (14 August 2016). Agriculture minister Han Changfu told China National Radio that it was time to trim China's fishing industry, now booming with the world's largest fishing fleet, to protect fish stocks.No Use China. No Use France.
