At present,the development of China's marine fishing industry has entered a crucial era.On the one hand,as a result of population growth and limitation of resources on land,demand for seafood is increasing;on the other hand,because of increasing fishing intensity,China's offshore fishery resources have been seriously damaged, facing the danger of depletion.It affects supply of sea food and long-term development of fishing industry.Therefore,it is important to study regulations of marine fishing industry according to the actual situation of China to find a method which can protect and explore marine fishery resources efficiently to sustainable development in fishing industry.The paper firstly starts with the characteristics of marine fishery resources,and from the three aspects which are the attributes of common-pool resources, externalities of fishing and game between fishers discusses the reason why marine fishery resources can easily be over-fishing.In the absence of government regulation, the marine fisheries resources are extremely vulnerable to over-exploitation and, therefore,the Government should be conducted on the marine fisheries regulations. Secondly'.we analyzes China's marine fishing resources and industry status quo,sums up the main marine fishing regulatory measures from the founding of China.It is revealed that although our country's fishing industry regulations cover all aspects basically,they did not reach the expected results.Fishing intensity is increasing continuously,and the status of resources has not been improved obviously.Then,we focus on the analysis of the implementation and effect of fishing closure,the "zero growth" and "double control" system.And it finds that our country's marine fishing industry regulations mainly have three problems:the principal-agent problem between central and local regulatory agencies,serious irregularities,lack of appropriate incentives.Finally,for these three issues,according to dynamic game theory model we analyze the decision-making of fishers,the central and local regulation agencies and put forward measures to improve the regulation at this stage of the policy recommendations.The study found:lack of incentive compatibility is the most important issue of China's marine fishing regulation.Without changing the fisheries property rights system of China,we should make efforts to change the incentive-driven system of irregularities and inappropriate enforcement of local agencies.Through model analysis it can be concluded:for the local regulatory agencies,the central agencies should strengthen supervision,improve the cost of inappropriate implementation and take sustainable development into the performance appraisal of local officials;for fishers,the regulatory agencies should intensify law enforcement,raise the cost of irregularity,strenthen social supervision and propaganda,and reduce the occurrence of irregularities.Meanwhile,we should improve the social security system for the fishers and establish a reasonable exit mechanism of the fishing industry,let fishers transfer,make efforts to reduce fishing intensity,realize sustainable development of fishing industry.
