The impact of climate change on the development of fishery economy cannot be ignored. Bibliometric analysis of literature which is included in core database of Web of Science during 1995-2016 on the topic of climate change impacts on fisheries is conducted. The result showed that, the literature quantity related to this issue increased significantly around 2007. This problem has received extensive attention by scholars and relevant international organizations, scholars from 57 countries or regions have been involved in the research field, and the United States has a great advantage in the research field. The literature in this field is mainly published in the mainstream journals of fisheries and marine and freshwater biology, ICES Journal of Marine Science and Marine and Freshwater Research are by far the most influential two journals in this research field. The main research objects in this field are specific biological species, fishery economy, ecosystem and management strategy, the main indicator of climate change is water temperature in the relevant literature, the top three research contents of the studies were species abundance, biology and species distribution. China's research on this issue is still in its infancy. On the basis of existing studies,increasing the research efforts of Chinese scholars in this field will help to improve the ability of China's fishery resources management to cope with climate change and achieve sustainable development of fisheries.
