(eds.), Recent Developments in Practices and Research on Coastal Regions: Transportation, Environment and Economy. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 98, pp. 367–370. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.Based on the input-output (IO) table data from 2002 to 2012, a noncompetitive IO model was used to calculate the factors driving growth and change in the final demand of China's fishery industry. The results show that the intermediate input, initial input, consumption, capital formation, export, and other final demands of the fishery industry all showed significant growth, and the added value increased first and then decreased. The role of consumption is the most outstanding, capital formation is second, and export is lowest, with a contribution rate of 66.22%, 20.51%, and 11.31%, respectively. Compared with final demand, the contribution rates of intermediate input and increased rate of gross domestic product growth by fisheries are relatively small, with the contribution of the value-added rate of only 8.63%, and intermediate input structure's contribution to growth of 6.67%. From 2002 to 2007, consumption contributed the most at 48.88%, followed by export, with its contribution rate being up to 21.91%. From 2007 to 2012, consumption contributed the most at 76.68%, capital formation contributed 22.20%, and export contributed 7.21%.
