To improve the financial efficiency of this sector while managing its environmental impact, it is essential to understand the relationship between revenue generation and greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines the correlation between emissions and revenue in marine capture fisheries, identifying key variables influencing carbon emissions. Additionally, it evaluates the effectiveness of separation efforts in China’s coastal fisheries using the separation directory, breakdown method, and separation framework. The findings highlight the following: (i) The separation condition has improved across all coastal regions, with Guangdong showing the most robust and stable separation. (ii) Fossil content plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing separation efforts, while the structure of commerce remains a significant barrier to further progress in most regions. (iii) All coastal areas made notable efforts to decouple emissions from economic activity, with more than half of the regions implementing significant separation initiatives. These results underscore the need for targeted policies to enhance separation efforts and reduce the environmental impact of marine capture fisheries.
