The fishing quota system is a new system provided by Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China, and its implementation will be a great reform in China's fisheries management. On the basis of distinguishing the quota right from the fishing right in this system, more attention was focused on institutional analyses of the transfer of the quota right in fisheries. In line with the history, the current situation of fisheries management in China and the requirements for development, the idea that the quota right in China's fishing quota system might be allowed to transfer properly was put forward, and the institutional frame including the specific characters of quota right, the perfect registration and notification, the favorable intermediaries and the perfect social security system was suggested. Then, the affected factors, such as legal obstacles, the economic development in fisheries society and the quality of fishermen, were analyzed. At last, the author suggested that such work as propagandizing and training fishermen, and establishing the system of honesty and honor, enhancing the second and tertiary industries of fisheries, clearing the legal obstacles, clarifying the nature of the certification of the quota right, confirming the order of quota rights, and establishing the intermediary market services should be carried out at present.
