Abstract：Shark conservation and management are important components of global fishery resource gov-ernance.Since the 1990s,the five tuna regional fisheries management organizations of the world have issued many legal documents and introduced various measures to vigorously support shark conservation and management.While improving the protection level of the global shark resources,such trial also faces a series of problems like decision-making difficulties,non-existent management system and limit-ed ability of developing contracting parties to implement the contract.In this regard,it is suggested that these organizations should develop a strong decision-making mechanism,strengthen the binding force and implementation of the system,and support the capacity-building of developing state parties to break through the developmental bottleneck and further deepen the shark conservation and management process.At present,these organizations are constantly improving and updating shark conservation and management measures.As a member of the four regional fisheries management organizations,the or-ganization of China should attach importance to and regulate shark fishery data statistics,establish the shark fishery scientific committee system,improve the compliance ability of fishery practitioners,and strengthen research and participation in the organization,so as to enhance the international status of China in deep-sea fisheries and establish the image of a responsible fishery power.
