Abstract
As green development has become a new model for the sustainable development of aquaculture, the green development of freshwater aquaculture has important ecological significance for Sichuan Province, which is an ecological core area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China. In order to scientifically evaluate the green development level of freshwater aquaculture in Sichuan Province, identify appropriate green development models, and propose a path forward to realize them, this study constructs an evaluation index system of freshwater aquaculture green development in Sichuan Province based on five dimensions derived by combining and summarizing the relevant domestic and international literature. These five dimensions are economic development, social development, resource utilization, environmental protection, and technology. A comprehensive weighting method multiplied by the analytic hierarchy process and mean square deviation method was selected to determine the index weight in the analysis. Using the panel data of 21 cities and prefectures in Sichuan Province from 2010 to 2019, the green development level of freshwater aquaculture in Sichuan Province was measured and analyzed. The results indicate that the overall green development comprehensive index of freshwater aquaculture in Sichuan Province shows an upward trend, and only the technical index of each subsystem shows a downward trend. Nevertheless, the green development level of freshwater aquaculture in various regions of Sichuan Province is uneven with significant differences, and the green development model of freshwater aquaculture in Sichuan Province can therefore be divided into four types: economic, social, resource and technical. Finally, the plan for achievement of the appropriate green development level of freshwater aquaculture in Sichuan Province is put forward in this paper, which provides the theoretical support for this green development goal.
