高度洄游性魚種棲息海域與洄游路徑經常跨越各沿海國家經濟海域,依聯合國海洋法公約規定,就高度洄游性魚種資源之養護,相關沿海國家與漁撈國應直接或透過適當之國際組織履行其合作義務。台灣地處西北太平洋,鮪旗魚類更是台灣東部沿近海高經濟價值之重要漁獲對象。對於鮪旗魚類之族群特徵與資源評估已積極進行研究,但就族群結構與生態習性之探討,是漁業科學研究的一大挑戰,而國際合作型標識放流計畫更是日益受到重視。目前漁業科學家們除利用傳統塑膠標籤標識鮪旗魚外,更將各種最新科技的記錄型標識器以植入或配置方式裝置於鮪旗魚魚體,以探討鮪旗魚類系群結構與洄游路徑、成長參數、不同漁業之交互關係及生態習性與海洋環境之關係。這些結果將可提供進行該魚種資源評估之開發率估算及及降低未確定參數參考。水產試驗所東部海洋生物研究中心座落於台灣東部,對於大洋性魚種族群動態解析與系群結構分析是絕佳的試驗場所,並容易與國際漁業組織接軌,執行國際型合作計畫,本所亦已累積長期台灣周邊海域環境資料與大洋性魚種生物特徵參數,將是魚種族群動態解析與漁業管理策略擬定之重要的科學依據。本計畫之主要目的為由研究人員成前往夏威夷大學與PFRP研究團隊研習標識放流國際型合作計畫執行,並邀請專精於漁業資源評估管理及族群動態模式分析等相關研究學者來台指導研究同仁。

研究報告摘要(英)


Tuna and billfish are highly migratory species, with their habitat and migratory pathways often crossing the Exclusive Economic Zone of different countries. Taiwan is located in Northwestern Pacific Ocean,where tuna and billfish are of high economic value from both coastal and offshore fisheries. The extent of population structure, habitats and behavior of these fishes are emerging management and conservation issues requiring the attention of fisheries scientists. Meanwhile, the international cooperative tagging projects are getting increasing attention worldwide.Due to their pelagic lifestyles that encompass temporal and spatial scales, tuna and billfish have been fairly difficult to study. The advances in the deployment of electronic tags have provided researchers with new tools that can record detailed records of body or ambient water temperature, swimming depth and geographic information. When recovery of a tag is less certain, a subset of the data is available through the ARGOS system of satellites and can be easily accessed through the Internet. Fisheries scientists have affixed a variety of electronic tags on tuna and billfish that have revealed spatial and temporal movement patterns, often showing the impressive mobility and ecological adaptability of these species. These results can obtain information on local exploitation rates and productivity of species’ resources and will contribute to, and reduce uncertainty in fishery stock assessment.Eastern Marine Biology Research Center of Fisheries Research Center (FRI) is located at the eastern coast of Taiwan, where is the nice location for studying the population dynamic and stock structure of pelagic fishes.Also, it is very convenience to cooperative with Fishery Management Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to conductive international cooperative projects. Furthermore, FRI have been collected a lot of fishery survey data on the marine environment around Taiwan and biological characteristics on pelagic fishes. These will be the important input parameters for the stock assessment and scientific references on setting management strategies. The objectives of this project are asking research to learning the international cooperative tagging study at University of Hawaii and PFRP working group, meanwhile inviting the expert to Taiwan who is major in the fishery stock assessment and population dynamic to improve technical guidance on fishery stock assessment at FRI.
