Status of development and countermeasures on utilization technology of Antarctic krill resources in China.

Development and utilization of Antarctic krill resources are gaining international concern with each passing day. With gradually matured Antarctic krill fishing and processing technology,changes in development strategies of Antarctic krill resources at different countries have taken place. This paper analyzed the technical bottleneck existing in the development and utilization of Antarctic krill resources,and briefly reviewed the progress made in independent design,R D of krill fishing equipment,and preparation of krill meal and krill oil. By analyzing Antarctic krill patent application information,it was believed that at present the domestic R D major bodies had paid much attention to the preparation and production processes of krill oil and feed,while the international world had transferred their R D and patent application focuses to pharmaceutical field. Facing the strategic demand of developing marine living resources,we shoud accelerate the process of design and construction of specialized vessels for Antarctic krill fishing and processing,and at the same time improve the processing technology and patent layout of Antarctic krill,so as to provide technical support and assurance for taking over and exploiting krill consumer market.
