This paper reviews the status of technical regulations of Chinese fishing vessels and points out three major problems in China's technical system of fishing vessel. First, technical regulation system is not perfect and the regulations do not accord with actual situation of fishery development. Second, the relation between technology management and implementation is not distinct. Third, the input, including money and human resources, into fishing vessel technology research is weak. The author raises four suggestions. First, market competition mechanism should gradually be introduced to the field of fishing vessel inspection and form the fishing vessel inspection system dominated by government, and harmonized by market mechanisms. Second, we should improve the parameters advancement and international standards of fishing vessel design through self-dependent and absorption technical innovation. Third, we should carry out innovation of organization and management system, and normalize the process of adopting and system standard. Fourth, the government should intensify more finance and human resources to basic research on fishing vessels regulation system in order to follow the trend of technical innovation, and to reserve reliable intelligence for the system construction.
