In 2016, the Dongshan Port aquaculture industry has undergone a steady adjustment in the previous two years, especially in the first month after the end of the summer fishing season, it exported 278 million US dollars, an increase of 43.3% year-on-year, driving the export value of the previous August to 1.788 billion US dollars. It increased by 16.7% year-on-year, 13 percentage points higher than the national average. The value of exports accounted for 14.1% of the total value of exported aquatic products in the country. It further consolidated the status of the country's largest export chain of aquatic products processing.

Chen Zhenkui, chairman of the Zhangzhou Aquatic Products Association and chairman of Dongshan Haikui Group, said: Due to the unremitting pursuit of product quality, Dongshan Aquatic Products brand has continuously improved its influence and become a typical example of supply-side structural reform. From the data of 2016, the average unit price of Dongshan aquatic products exports is nearly one-third higher than the provincial average. The price can be said to have no advantage. However, foreign merchants come to purchase, first consider Dongshan, and the fancy is that the variety is complete and the quality and safety management level is high. Nowadays, every enterprise attaches great importance to the construction of quality and safety self-checking and self-control system, invests heavily in laboratory testing equipment, and recruits technicians, in order to jointly maintain this quality and safety "golden signboard".

Fang Chengjun, head of the Dongshan Bureau Technical Center, said that at present, more than 90% of the more than 100 export aquatic products companies in Dongshan Port have their own testing laboratories. As the most powerful official inspection and testing institution in the surrounding area, the center has exerted its own technological advantages. During the “Quality Month” activities, it has carried out laboratory open days, sharing test standards, and comparing the technical training of enterprise technicians with the results of laboratory inspections. A series of assistance work, from Xiamen University, Xiamen Ocean Institute, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University invited a number of professor-level experts and scholars to teach, so that enterprises can understand the current cutting-edge food safety testing theory and management methods, comprehensively improve corporate quality and safety testing strength.
