This paper reviews the current situation vis-à-vis GIS in spatial marine fish resources analyses. It is based upon some 200 selected papers presented in four symposia in 1999, i.e., “First International Symposium on GIS in Fishery Science”, “Ecosystem Effects of Fishing”, “GIS Applications for Agro-Environmental Issues in Developing Regions” and “Spatial Process and Management of Fish Population. The selected papers are summarized under following four categories: (a) basic presentation (mapping) of parameters, (b) fisheries oceanography and marine ecosystems research, (c) geo-referenced fish resource assessments and analyses, and (d) space-based management and predictions. Based on the current situation, we further discuss prospects and future applications for spatial fish resources analyses using GIS.
