NTU is committed to promoting sustainable fisheries.
National Taiwan University is committed to promoting sustainable fisheries. We have established the Institute of Fisheries Science and the NTU Committee on Fisheries Extension to nurture domestic talent in the field of aquatic ecology and water resource management. Additionally, we actively engage with fishing villages and aquaculture specialization areas, providing consultation services and training while focusing on the conservation and management of eel resources. We also conduct outreach activities, including eel farming education.
Within our university, we offer relevant courses such as "Population Ecology and Sustainable Fisheries Resources" which introduces core concepts in fisheries management. Furthermore, we have created Aquaculture Individual courses and published "AQUATIC BIOLOGY EXPERIMENT" to equip students with comprehensive knowledge of aquaculture and aquatic biology. These initiatives aim to enhance public knowledge of sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management and promote the concept of sustainable fisheries.
Committee on Fisheries Extension, NTU
Our university has established the Committee on Fisheries Extension, which periodically conducts nationwide outreach programs. We actively engage with fishing villages and aquaculture specialization areas to conduct in-depth research. We aim to understand the challenges faced by fishermen in aquaculture and fisheries technology and provide timely technical and specialized consultation services to guide the sustainable knowledge and management of the fisheries industry.
Eel Farming Education
In 2022, the Institute of Fisheries Science at our university organized two eel farming education outreach events. These activities included film discussions, ecological education, insights from aquaculture experts, and demonstrations by fishermen. They provided the public with a glimpse into the mysterious life cycle of eels and encouraged an appreciation for the gradually declining eel resources. We hope that both the government and the industry will actively commit to the conservation and sustainable management of eel resources.
Population Ecology and Sustainable Fisheries Resources (241 U6020)
This course teaches students about fish biology, population ecology, and mathematical models for fisheries management. It covers topics like population dynamics, both in freshwater and marine settings, using various methods. Students will develop critical thinking skills through discussions and presentations and learn to interpret fish ecology literature. The course includes weekly 3-hour sessions with lectures and practical exercises like field sampling and computer simulations.
Aquaculture Individual courses (B45001)
Our university offers specialized courses in the field of aquaculture. Upon completing the courses in the "Aquaculture" curriculum, students will acquire comprehensive knowledge of aquaculture and develop fundamental research and operational skills. This program aims to cultivate future talent for sustainable fisheries, aquaculture industries, and relevant government agencies.
AQUATIC BIOLOGY EXPERIMENT
Published by professors from our Institute of Fisheries Science, this comprehensive book covers topics such as understanding water quality and plankton, practical aquaculture operations, fish anatomy, molecular biology techniques for fish, research on aquatic diseases, and advanced experiments. It is designed to enhance the knowledge of students from domestic colleges and vocational schools majoring in fisheries or life sciences, promoting the concept of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture management.
