Antarctic krill is widely distributed in Antarctic waters, with rich resource reserves. It is the largest single catching biological resource in the world′s oceans. This paper combed the operation of global Antarctic krill fishing and processing ships, analyzed the development and utilization of Antarctic krill and the development status of fishing and processing ships in major countries, selected "Furong Sea" and "Antarctic Endurance", made a comparative analysis between China′s Antarctic krill fishing and processing ships and Norwegian fishing boats, and pointed out that there were still some problems in the development of Chinese Antarctic krill fishing and processing ships. There were problems in the production mode, the traditional fishing methods of fishing vessels needed to be improved and the on-board processing technology needed to be further improved. Based on this, it was considered that China should promote transformation and upgrading and form a new Antarctic krill fishing and processing fishing vessel system in the future; strengthen the industrial quality and constantly improve the fishing gear and equipment level of fishing vessels; improve the processing links and break through the bottleneck of on-board processing technology, to provide help to the development of China′s Antarctic krill fishing industry.
