摘要：鱼类关键生境（EFH）是指鱼类产卵、繁殖、摄食或育成所必须依赖的水域或底质环境。该文对EFH的产生和由来、研究和应用、评估内容和识别方法等现状进行了全面回顾和总结，重点在介绍相关概念和进展，并针对我国海洋渔业科研和管理中过于强调区域重要性和种类经济价值、而忽略具体生境保护的现实，提出了相应的建议，以期为我国渔业的科学管理和及其可持续发展提供参考。

Abstract: Essential fish habitat (EFH) is those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity. In this paper, we reviewed most of the recent studies and reports on EFH. We organized these studies or reports in five parts, which are definition of EFH, the origin of EFH, EFH assessment, practices of implementation on EFH management, and associated studies focusing on EFH identification and protection. It is hoped that this review can offer some positive references for the management of fisheries in China.
Key words: essential fish habitat; sustainable development, fishery management; fisheries resources
