Liancheng Overseas Fishery (Shenzhen) Group’s two subsidiaries — Liancheng Overseas Fishery (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. and China Southern Fishery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. — became the focus of the expo through a series of activities such as bluefin tuna and bigeye tuna cutting shows and food tastings. These events fully demonstrated their strong technical expertise and premium product quality in the field of deep-sea fishing.

While offering a feast of delicious seafood to attendees, Liancheng Fishery and China Southern Fishery also promoted sustainable development concepts through fishery knowledge dissemination and interactive activities. Liancheng Fishery is the world’s first ocean-going fishery company to obtain the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for bigeye tuna, and the first ocean-going fishery company in China to receive MSC certification.

We will continue to pursue a technology-driven innovation model and leverage the world’s leading offshore fishery information management system to provide Chinese consumers with more traceable, pollution-free, high-quality seafood.”

Liancheng Fishery and China Southern Fishery will present two additional bigeye tuna cutting shows at 3 p.m. on May 16 and 11 a.m. on May 17 during the expo.
