First, this paper defines the definition and classification of recreational fishery.Second, the paper analyzes the present situation of recreational fishery from production scale, growth rate, proportion of annual output value of fishery and industrial structure,then discusses the development opportunities of recreational fishery in terms of policy, economy, culture and technology.Third, the paper analyzes the problem of recreational fishery in terms of the talent, the ability to bear risk, the influence of COVID-19.Finally, the paper discusses the high quality development mode of recreational fishery in China against the background of industrial integration.The research showed:the production scale of recreational fishery increased, the growth rate of recreational fishery declined but higher than the annual output growth rate of the total annual output of the fishery, proportion of annual output value of fishery increased steadily,and the structure of recreational fishery developed steadily, guided by recreational fishing and collecting industry and tourism-oriented recreational fishery, supplemented by fishing tackle, bait ornamental fish, fishery medicine, aquatic equipment, other related industries, ornamental fish industry developed rapidly.

At the same time,recreational fishery facing a series of challenges such as shortage of talents,the ability to bear risk is limited and the shock of COVID-19.Finally, The paper proposes the three-dimensional mode of recreational fishery developing in high quality based on industrial convergence to promote the long-term, steady and high-quality development of recreational fishery.
