在党的改革开放方针政策的指引下，我国的远洋渔业生产发展迅速。近几年来已有几百艘渔船离开传统的近海渔场，分赴世界各地从事生产。有些部已驶往高纬度地区，如美国的阿拉斯加；有的则超过赤道南下，抵达西非、南美等地。目前，渔船上指示航向的仪器有磁罗经和电罗经两种，? Guided by the Party’s guidelines and policies for reform and opening up, China’s offshore fishery production has developed rapidly. In recent years, hundreds of fishing boats have left the traditional offshore fishing grounds and have been engaged in production all over the world. Some departments have been heading to high latitudes, such as Alaska in the United States; others have crossed the equator south to other places in West Africa and South America. At present, there are two kinds of magnetic compasses and gyroscopes for indicating the course of a fishing vessel.
