Title: The Case of Taiwan Tilapia Alliance
1The Case of Taiwan Tilapia Alliance
2Agricultural technology not only includes
automation, biology, and genetic engineering, but
also economic, cultural and medical
knowledge Institutional Innovation is also
important!
3- Challenges to Taiwans Fishing Industry
- Declining of coastal and inshore fishery
resources - Enforcing conservation management of far sea
- Raising quality requirements of fish products
- Increasing competitions in markets
- Policy Approaches to Overcome Challenges
- - To reduce the impacts on far sea fisheries
- To promote international fisheries cooperation
- To actively participate in international
fisheries organizations - To accommodate with the fisheries management
regulations as set forth in FAO Code of Conduct
on Responsible Fisheries
4- To cope with the growing concerns of worldwide
environmental protection - The demand of energy efficiency and cleaner
engines for fishing vessels - The international requirement of high standard of
vessel and crew safety - Decommission of aged vessels have been promoted,
with the objective of building an environment
friendly fishing fleet
- Practices (in 2002)
- Fishing agreements with 28 Parties or
Territories, and 700 number vessels - Reduction of fishing capacity
- - 261 vessels and total 16,648

5Policy Strategies of Aquaculture Development in
Taiwan
- Principles
- Developments focus on potentially competitive
species or livelihood widely related species. - Developments on environment which is socially
responsible and acceptable - Improving industry by organizing producers,
suppliers, processors, and academics, i.e.,
alliance
- To confront the challenges focal culture
industries - - fish fries, ornamental fishes, marine cage
culture, recreation aquafarm, and cobia, grouper,
milkfish, tilapia, etc. - ex. Tilapia and Cobia
6Reduction of Aquaculture Production Cost
- 42 specific aquaculture areas, about 150-200
hectares each (include tilapia farming) - Construction of public water supply and drainage
system - Promotion of cooperative business operation and
joint procurement

16Taiwan has adopted many policies to promote the
competitiveness
- constrains of tilapia industry are complicated
- to form specific aquaculture area
- - to built infrastructure
- - to have joint procurement
- to form Taiwan Tilapia Alliance
- - to get common consensus
- - to conduct promotional programs
- to grant research programs

19The Consumption of Fisheries Products
- has increased, due to the increase in population
and the changes of food consumption patterns - - increase from aquaculture (the progress of
aquaculture technologies and their adoption) - the ratio of aquaculture products to world
fishery products might increase to 40 from 29
before 2010
20- Aquaculture
- The farmed tilapia is expected to develop for
future demand of market - - developing countries,
- become one of the important protein sources
- the important small-scale social-oriented
aquaculture - Increase culture area and production
- - exporting countries,
- should strengthen their competitiveness
- should develop new products - to expand the
market demands
21- Taiwans Seafood Industry realizes
- high-quality product, safety and sanitation
are basic business practices to maintain the
sustainable growth of an industry. - Taiwans future aquaculture development are
committed to be eco-responsible and
consumer/market-oriented aquaculture to comply
with the trend of an era of restructuring and
increasing concern for sustainability.
