Abstract：Year 2022 is a key for the full development of rural revitalization.Trying our best in agricul-tural and rural works is special and important.The development of leisure fisheries should aid to imple-menting the national rural revitalization strategy.In this study,we reviewed the developmental process,current situation and existing problems of leisure fishery,and put forward corresponding sug-gestions.The developmental process of leisure fishery in China can be roughly divided into three sta-ges,the embryonic developmental stage from 1985 to 2002,the rapid developmental stage from 2003 to 2015 and the standardized developmental stage since 2016.The contribution of China's leisure fishery to the fishery economy is steadily increasing;however,such contribution is relatively limited.The overall developmental level is not high,and the regional difference is significant.Biological resource and socio-economic systems are found to be the basic obstacles affecting the development of leisure fishery in Chi-na while the management and consumer systems are the main obstacles restricting further improve-ment.In order to promote the high-quality development of leisure fishery,suggestions are put for-ward,which include all-round,green and scientific developments,three aspects in total.To realize the all-round development of leisure fishery,the national development plan of leisure fishery should be for-mulated,the personnel management should be strengthened and the quality of practitioners should be improved.Simultaneously,the policy supervision and incentive mechanism of leisure fishery should be established.To realize the green development of leisure fishery,the leisure fishery industry standards and regulations should be formulated,the leisure fishery monitoring system and establish database should be improved,and improve the fishery resource evaluation and protection should be carried out.To realize the scientific development of leisure fishery,the discipline construction and academic re-search of leisure fishery and strengthen the popularization and application of science and technology should be strengthened.In future,the development of China's recreational fishery may face both the policy and market driving forces brought about by the full implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the great opportunity of cracking the problem of the transformation of the industry in the ten years of the Yangtze River.It may also face the challenge of the steady development of the leisure fishery industry and the adjustment of industrial structure under the impact of COVID-19.
