It is very useful for commercial fishing and fishery management of fishing ground analysis and forecasting based on spatial surveillance information technology. According to the results of our research and the operational application of distant water fishery fishing information service system, we review the key technology of fishing ground analysis and forecasting, including the data precision of marine environment factors derived from satellite remote sensing, data fusion of fishing ground environment factors of different sources, real time data acquirement of fishing boats position, data analysis methods and forecasting models. As a summary, we put forward the prospect with regard to the application of fishing ground forecasting study in the future.
