Abstract

This study explores the role of corporate governance in fishery resource allocation and efficiency improvement, and conducts quantitative analysis through the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. The study takes fishery enterprises as samples, combines corporate governance indicators, constructs an extended DEA model, and evaluates the impact of governance on efficiency. The results show that corporate governance has a significant role in promoting resource allocation efficiency, and enterprises with high governance levels perform better in resource utilization and output efficiency. The study provides theoretical support for the sustainable development of the fishery economy and puts forward policy recommendations to optimize corporate governance structure and improve resource allocation efficiency.
