Abstract: The vulnerability research is an indispensable part to achieve sustainable development in the field of marine fishery. This review provides an overview of the vulnerability of marine fishery from four aspects: the concept and connotation of vulnerability of marine fishery, research classification and analysis framework, evaluation method and index system, driving factors and response measures. This review reveals the following understandings: 1)The concept of vulnerability of marine fishery has not been unified yet, but some consensus has been reached; 2) There are still few assessment method of vulnerability of marine fishery, and the indicator system should be perfected; 3) The current research on the driving factors and mechanism of marine fishery vulnerability is insufficient.Therefore, in order to provide a scientific basis for solving the problems of marine fishery development in the future, scholars should refine the concept of vulnerability of marine fishery, build a systematic and comprehensive evaluation system, strengthen multi-scale research on the vulnerability of marine fishery, deepen the research on the driving factors and mechanisms of the vulnerability of marine fishery.
