Abstract：Recreational fishery is one of the five modern fishery industries determined by the 12th five-year plan of national fishery development.In recent years,recreational fishery has developed rapidly in the coastal areas of China.In this study,the grey correlation analysis method was used to select the in-dustry data of recreational fishery and activities associated with recreational fishery performance from 2006 to 2020 in 8 coastal provinces(cities)of China,and compare the industry correlation degree dur-ing the period of 11th,12th and 13th Five-Year Plans.The correlation degree between recreational fishery and related industries in coastal areas shows an upward trend from 2006 to 2020,with an average of 0.6406-0.7456,a moderate to high correlation range.The correlation between recreational fishery and culture,sports and entertainment industry ranked the first in the three periods,＞0.6.During 12th Five-Year Plan,the correlation between recreational fishery and culture,sports and entertainment in-dustry in Shanghai,Zhejiang and Guangdong was higher than 0.8,a high correlation.Compared with 11th Five-Year Plan,the 12th Five-Year was a starker choices-and graver consequences-in period with increased leisure fishery industry.Correlated industry included the information transmission,software and information technology services,accommodation and catering industry,water conservancy,envi-ronment and public facilities management.The correlation declining industries included the wholesale and retail,transportation,warehousing and postal service.The change of correlation degree of related industries in different regions was obviously different.The development of recreational fishery has the most significant driving effect on culture,sports and entertainment industry,but the driving effect of recreational fishery on related industries is different among periods and regions.It is necessary to fur-ther support and promote the integrated development of superior industry and recreational fishery based on local natural resource conditions,and improve the social,ecological and economic benefits of recrea-tional fishery.
