Abstract

As one of the important traditional industries in Shandong Province, fisheries occupy a significant position in regional economic development and the livelihoods of fishing households. Based on the current status of fishery development in Shandong Province, this study examines the impact of fishery development on the income sources and expenditure structures of fishing households. It explores existing challenges such as resource management issues, rising production costs, and market mechanism imperfections. The paper proposes countermeasures including strengthening fishery resource protection and management, improving market mechanisms and risk prevention systems, optimizing policy implementation, and promoting the integrated development of the fishery industry. These suggestions aim to support the healthy development of Shandong's fisheries and enhance the well-being of fishing families. Investigating the influence of fishery development on fishing households' economic conditions not only reveals the relationship between fishery growth and household economies but also provides scientific foundations for formulating policies to promote sustainable fisheries and improve fishermen's livelihoods.
