Abstract
This study reports a preliminary study on the fisheries catches in South China Sea via light falling-net fishing method. A total of 30 survey locations were evaluated from Paracel Islands to Spratly Islands sea area in South China Sea. Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, Thunnus albacares, Katsuwonus pelamis, and Decapterus maruadsi were the most frequently caught species. S.oualaniensis was the domain species in fishery catches in this study. The highest fisheries caught was 20 t in Paracel Islands (15º41.861'N, 111º14.767'E), and the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and fishing rate (K) in this survey location were 3.80 t/time and 1164.95 kg/h, respectively. The value of both CPUE and K varied from Paracel Islands to Spratly Islands. Results from this study will provide useful information on fishery resource assessment and developing fishery resource in South China Sea.
