At 12:00 noon on August 16th, the 2025 summer fishing moratorium will officially come to an end. After more than three months, a variety of fresh seafood delicacies will make a strong return. In preparation for the opening of the fishing season, fishermen in Yangjiang are working intensively to get everything ready.

As the start date draws near, fishing ports along Yangjiang's coastal towns—quiet for over three months—are once again bustling with activity. Under the blazing sun, fishermen move between the docks and vessels, carefully sorting fishing gearor loading fishing supplies. The roar of boat engines mingles with the work song by dock workers, creating a spirited overture to the fishing season.

"It's crucial to keep the catch fresh once it's brought on board, so we've got plenty of ice ready. Daily necessities such as rice, flour and oil will also be loaded in the next couple of days," said Chen, a fisherman busy loading fishing nets and gear. He added that before the fishing season starts, he will give the boat a final inspection and tune-up, ready to head to sea in top condition.

开渔日将至，阳江渔民准备好了！

8月16日12时，2025年海洋伏季休渔期将正式结束。阔别三个多月的海味珍馐，即将强势回归。为了迎接开渔的到来，阳江渔民们正紧锣密鼓地做好各项准备工作。

开渔在即，阳江各沿海乡镇沉寂了三个多月的渔港码头重现繁忙景象。渔民们顶着烈日，穿梭于码头和渔船的各个角落，或细心整理渔具，或忙着搬运渔业物资，马达轰鸣声与搬运号子此起彼伏，奏响了开渔前的激昂序曲。

“海鲜捕捞上船后，保鲜十分重要，所以我们备足了冰块，同时米面粮油之类的生活物资过两天也会陆续搬运上船。”正在装载渔网渔具的渔民陈叔告诉记者，开渔前他将对渔船进行最后的检修调试，以崭新的面貌迎接开渔。
