Abstract:This paper deals with the development of squid jigging vessel and its equipments in china. It is known that from begining till now the deepsea squid jigging fishery was formed near seven years only. In the initial stage, the vessels using for squid jigging depended on refitted trawlers and the equipments partly imported from foreign countries. Through a short time of practoce. these implements play an important role in the fishery, and achieve good economic and social benifit. It should be noted that along with opening up the new fishing ground and developing fishery production yet some shortcomings exist in the refitted vessels and some equipments, for example, the ship endurence and seaworthiness, catch ability, frozen and refrigerated space capacity, light intensity and efficiency of attracting fish lamp etc. In the present case, it is necessary to review the degree of adaptability of these implements based on analysing and summarizing the previous field operation and also to adopt some vital measures as well as the experience of Japan in developing squid jigging can be used for reference. In order to promote the further improvement on the vessel and equipment of squid jigging in the future it needs to point out the direction of squid jigging fishery.
