China denies overfishing
China is rejecting scientific claims that it has over reported fishing catches, and this has help to mask a decline in global fish stocks.
Beijing maintains that its figures are basically correct.
Canadian researchers say China misreported fishing statistics in the 1990s and that made global catches appear to be rising by 320 million kilograms a year, while they really fell by 360 million kilograms.
The report raised serious concerns about forecasts of fish stocks and world food supplies.
