Abstract: The study aims to reveal the research progress of fishery resource science in China. We used the method of bibliometric analysis to review the documents selected from China Science Citation Index (CSCI) in 2011-2015 whose category number of Chinese classification (CLC number) were S931. The methods of descriptive statistics, author and organization cooperation network and weighted keyword concurrence networks were used to explore the hotspots and the recent frontiers of fishery resource science in China. The results showed that paper amount and citation frequency changed a little between years with a steady trend. Highly cited papers and weighted keyword concurrence networks reveal that the hot spots are enhancement and releasing, fishing condition forecasting, aquatic biodiversity, aquatic population structure and feeding ecology which is identical to the research fields of highly cited authors. The main cooperative network of authors is composed of Cheng Jiahua, Yuan Xingwei, Liu Zunlei, et al, with the research direction of aquatic population structure. The other is composed of Yang Shenglong and Fan Wei, et al, with the research direction of fishing condition forecasting. The main author co-citation network is composed of Yang Shenglong with the research direction of tuna fishing condition forecasting and artificial reef. The other is composed of Zhang Bo with the research direction of sea area community structure and feeding ecology. The main organization institutional cooperationco-citation network is the network composed of Shanghai Fishery University and Yellow Sea Fishery Sciences Institute as the core nodes. As for the Journals, the Top 10 Journals in this field published 35.8% papers of this field and shared 61.5% citation. Journal of Fishery Sciences of China, Journal of Fishery of China, South China Fisheries Science and Chinese Journal of Applied Ecology has high subject impact factors of fishery resources which published papers with identical themes.
