台灣養殖漁業於一九六○年代即以優良的人工繁殖技術獨步全球。一九八○年代進入全盛時期，並以草蝦養殖王國享譽國際。近年來更朝向科技化，自動化室內超高密度循環水養殖與外海箱網養殖發展。在二十一世紀全球人類動物性蛋白質需求高度仰賴養殖漁業之趨勢下，台灣養殖漁業將繼續扮演重要角色。 ……。 本文即根據所蒐集相關文獻及統計資料來探討養殖漁業之重要性、現況、台灣實施養殖漁業保險所面臨之問題及多國經營相關保險之狀況，以供台灣未來實施後保險之參考，並提昇適合我國國情的養殖漁業保險制度與實施步驟，並建議嘗試擇定具規範之箱網養殖漁業保險試辦，依成效、體驗再逐步推廣至其他養殖漁業。 / Fish is an important source of food protein. Aquaculture is playing a critical part in food security in 21st century as capture fisheries have been restrained by our consciousness of environment protection. In the early 1960's, Taiwan developed its excellent skills in aquaculture and even won the title of aquaculture kingdom of prawn in 1980's. With its long history in the industry and new technology advantages in both hi-density indoor and off-shore cage aquaculture, Taiwan will keep playing a key role in the global aquaculture industry in the century. ....... This article tries to build up a framework for the Taiwan aquaculture insurance based on my study of all the related documents, regulations, laws, statistics and international aquaculture insurance practices. In order to be more practical, I select off-shore cage fishfarm as the first trial for the promotion of aquaculture insurance. In the second stage we can transfer the experience to all kinds of fishfarms step by step.
