Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana), one of the resources which have never been fished before, is full of development potential. The data of the ocean environment, generated from remote sensing, is the important parameter in analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution, the state of resource and the fishery work environment of Antarctic krill fishery. After downloading, extracting, clipping, registration, projection and calculation, we have got the information about the sea area and state data of Antarctic Krill fishery. Then we make the thematic map according to the data characteristic. From the distribution map of the 3 fishing areas in 2011, it is indicated that chlorophyll-a density is maximum in December and minimum in February. The sea surface temperature is maximum in February, and minimum in August. And the sea ice density is maximum in September and minimum in February. There are some differences in different season.
