The study carried out the fishing tests of 3 kinds of LED lamps and 1 kind of traditional metal halide lamp to analyze if the LED lamp was suitable for inshore falling-net fishery of South China Sea. The results show that:(1) there are two peaks in the relative spectral power distribution of white light LED used in the fishing test, and two peaks are in blue bands, green and yellow bands respectively; green light LED has one peak and the peak is in green bands; blue light LED has one peak and the peak is in blue bands; metal halide lamp has multiple peaks and the peak wavelength is mainly in red bands; (2) The catch rates of 3 kinds of LED lamps are all higher than metal halide lamp, and white light LED has obvious advantages; (3)Loligo chinensis is the common dominant specie among 4 kinds of lamps, and the catch rate of white light LED is significantly higher than the other 3 kinds of lamps; (4) one-way analysis of variance shows that there is no significant difference in the mantle length and weight of Loligo chinensis between individuals caught by white light LED and metal halide lamp. The study suggests that LED lamp, especially white light LED is suitable for inshore falling-net fishery.
