本届博览会展览面积达11000平方米，设置标准展位510个，参展企业150多家。展会设置了休闲渔村展区、海钓游艇展区、观赏水族展区、海洋娱乐展区及海洋渔文化展区五大展区，全方位呈现了休闲渔业与海洋娱乐产业的上下游及配套产品。
8日在厦门正式对外发布的《中国休闲渔业发展报告》称，2017年全国休闲渔业产值708.42亿元人民币，占渔业经济总产值的2.86%，占渔业第三产业产值的10.45%；未来休闲渔业具有巨大市场前景和良好发展机遇。
“我们看到，大陆的休闲渔业逐渐发展。”台湾休闲渔业发展协会秘书长何立德今年已是第十次参展，也是他第三次策展。他在接受记者采访时说：“每一年我们透过影像、案例、产业对接等方式做分享，从而慢慢让两岸休闲渔业搭起一个平台，达到双向交流的目标。”
中国(厦门)国际休闲渔业博览会始创于2008年，经过十一年的成功举办，以市场曝光和品牌推广之实效为业内肯定。本届博览会迎来了台湾休闲渔业发展协会、台湾观赏鱼产销学协会、厦门观赏鱼协会、厦门深川、小嶝岛、禧玛诺老渔友钓具店、海豚号潜水俱乐部、威带夫潜水、福建蓝海房车、荣门木屋、集屋工贸等企业参与，展商反馈良好，观众反应热烈。
金门县水产试验所今年首次参展。试验所课长李佳发介绍，他们带来最具金门特色的海岛风光与渔村观光路线。“以往的旅游者很少会接触海、渔村的部分，希望借由这个展览，让民众知道，除了参观景区、购物的旅游方式外，还有另外一种接地气、慢游、乡村的旅游方式。”
休闲渔业的发展在海岛具有天然优势。“像金门，本身有天然的风光，保留了传统渔业渔产、闽南建筑，甚至生活方式。现在这些都成为了发展休闲渔业的特色。”何立德说。
本次展会还同期举办第三届中国休闲渔业高峰论坛及全国休闲渔业带头人培训活动、第九届“鳞王杯”厦门锦鲤大赛、“新天鱼乐杯”水族箱造景大赛等精彩活动。

The 11th China (Xiamen) International Recreational Fishery and Aquarium Expo was officially launched at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Center this morning and will last until November 11th.
More than 150 enterprises from home and abroad gathered in the 11,000 square meter hall, which is divided into five pavilions, to showcase recreational fishery and the marine entertainment industry, as well as supporting products.
A flagship event for recreational fishery in Asia, the expo has been running for eleven years. This year, the expo continued to promote the upgrade of recreational fishing villages and the marine entertainment industry in an active response to the government’s rural vitalization strategy.
The Taiwan Leisure Fishery Development Association, which has attended the exhibition for five consecutive years, also contributed their philosophy and experience in fishery and fishing tourism.
In addition, the association also displayed various kinds of goldfish. During the exhibition, there will be a cooperative exchange with the Fuzhou Goldfish Industry Association. It is the first time that an exchange between Taiwan and mainland China is based on goldfish.
The Kinmen Fisheries Research Institute, a new exhibitor at the expo, presented the island’s scenery and tourist routes of fishing villages.
One highlight of the expo is the 9th"Taiyo Cup" Xiamen Koi Show, which attracts over 300 young koi and 41 adult koi to vie for the championship. The champion of last year’s competition, a 93cm white carp with an orange pattern on its back, is also on display. The market price of the fish is said to be about 800,000 yuan.
Apart from enjoying beautiful goldfish, jellyfish, and koi, visitors can also register for an aqua-scaping competition and many other interactive activities such as prawn fishing, canoeing, and diving.
Also, visitors can communicate with the inheritor of the Burning of the Wang Yeh Boats, a spectacular folk custom in Fujian and Taiwan, and masters from the model ship making field in Xiamen, to know more about the city, the ocean, and about boats.
The expo was jointly sponsored by China Recreational Angling Association, Fujian Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries and Xiamen Municipal Government, and organized by the Ocean and Fisheries Bureau of Xiamen and Valued Show Management (Xiamen) LLC.
