The study aimed to reveal the trends and research hot spots on oceanic squid jigging fishery in the world, and promote the sustainable development of China's oceanic squid jigging fishery.We used the method of bibliometric analysis to review the document related to the study on oceanic squid jigging fishery and indexed ISI Web of Science Core Collection database. We first created descriptive statistics of the number of articles published annually and the journal frequency distribution. Then, the methods of author, institution cooperation network and keyword based knowledge mapping and burst analysis were used to explore the hot spots of world oceanic squid jigging fishery studies and the recent frontiers. Descriptive statistics suggested that the number of studies on world oceanic squid jigging fishery has increased sharply in the past decades and the scientific research influence and international attention of the document are very high.Authors and institutions have formed frequent and stable cooperative relations. Authors' cooperation has formed two major groups, as the core with Chen Xinjun, Chen Yong et.al.and Rodhouse P G et.al. Institutional cooperation has established extensive cooperative relations as the core with Shanghai Ocean University and the British Antarctic Survey.Marine freshwater biology, fisheries, oceanography and ecology are the dominant disciplines in world oceanic squid jigging fishery. Results of the burst analysis of the most recent document hot spots showed that the current research in world oceanic squid jigging fishery has four study frontiers:(1) carry out basic Biology and Ecology research in important oceanic economic squid species; (2) study the resource assessment of oceanic squid and its response mechanism to global climate and environmental changes; (3) research on fishery habitat based on marine remote sensing information and interdisciplinary integration; (4) study on integrated management of ocean squid fishery resources based on ecosystem.
