Abstract：During the process that ocean catches are transported from ports to markets,one rea-sonable cold chain distribution plan plays an important role in raising transport efficiency and lowering the cost input.In order to improve the distribution efficiency and reduce distribution costs since fish catches can be affected by the distribution time and environmental temperature in different levels,the multi-objective cold-chain distribution model is established aiming to achieve shortest delivery time and minimum cost.The model takes multiple cost elements into account in-cluding energy consumption at low temperature and demand time window.Then according to the decision variables of the model,the corresponding genetic algorithm is designed and a case study about one port distribution center is analysed.The results show that the proposed cold-chain lo-gistics distribution model can achieve less delivery time and lower distribution cost for the enter-prise and the models have been proved feasible.
