台湾海峡是东海南部拖网渔船的主要作业渔场之一。六十年代以前,福建省拖网渔业产量在全省海洋捕捞产量中所占比重甚小。但自七十年代起,拖网渔业广泛采用导航助渔仪器,使拖网渔业得到迅速发展。1980年福建省拖网渔业产量为39,844吨,仅占全省海洋捕捞总产量的11.6％。而1989年拖网渔业产量已增加到168,456吨,是1980年的4倍多,占福建全省海洋捕捞总产量的21.7％;拖网渔船 The Taiwan Strait is one of the major fishing grounds for trawlers in the southern East China Sea. Before the 1960s, the trawl fishery output in Fujian province accounted for a very small proportion of the total marine harvest in the province. However, since the seventies, trawl fisheries have widely used navigational aids to fish and fisheries, resulting in rapid development of trawl fisheries. Trawler fishery production in Fujian province in 1980 was 39,844 tons, accounting for only 11.6% of the province’s total marine harvest. The trawl fishery output in 1989 had increased to 168,456 tons, more than four times that of 1980, accounting for 21.7% of Fujian’s total marine fishing output. Trawlers
