This paper analyzes the "fishing vessel with a diesel-type spectral identity management measures" to implement the former fishing diesel chaotic management Phenomenon, through the Ministry of Agriculture announced 570 fishing boats with diesel-type spectral data analysis, with power, speed is statistical indicators, drawn by the domestic fishing engine speed, power distribution, inference may encounter situations when the current domestic diesel engine selection. Introduction Over the years due to overfishing of fishery resources, fishers range gradually developed from offshore ocean, fishing master power demand is increasing[1]-[5]. For the limitations of national dual-control policies on the one hand fisherman host power demand, on the other hand diesel engine manufacturers competitive market, there has been fishing the host "big machine small scale", "boat permits inconsistent" and the phenomenon of chaotic management, and long-term exist. The Ministry of Agriculture to strengthen fishing diesel management, science and approved the main parameters of the host power, issued a "fishing boat with diesel-type spectra identification and management approach", the paper published spectral type diesel power, speed to analyze results of the election of the host fishing type range, and future directions[6].
