Abstract:Light-induced fishery has a long history of development. After more than 60 years of development and evolution, modern Light-induced fishery in China has become one of the most important fishing methods at present. The rapid development of Light-induced fishery not only makes the offshore phototactic mid-upper layer fish resources be effectively utilized, but also provides technical support for the active development and utilization of oceanic high seas fishery resources, and to a certain extent, alleviates and protects the bottom fishery resources and marine ecological environment in China's offshore areas. However, at the present stage, some negative phenomena such as the competitive growth of the total light power and the increase of non-target catches are also common in Light-induced fishery, resulting in problems such as energy waste and decreased production efficiency. Therefore, how to use fish aggregation lights scientifically and efficiently has become an urgent issue to be solved. Therefore, centering on the light field distribution of fish aggregation lights in Light-induced fishery, this paper makes a comprehensive and in-depth systematic review, summary and technical outlook around the key research results such as the relationship between light field distribution and photo-induced fisheries, the formation of mechanisms of the light field distribution of fish aggregation lights and the algorithms and models of light field distribution, in order to provide reference for relevant research and jointly promote the sustainable development of Light-induced fishery.
