Oyster farming is an important mariculture along the western coast of
Taiwan. There is always impacts on the oyster farming. The information of
frequency, size and timing of tyhoon every year is strongly connected to the
decisions of starting and harvesting of oyster culture. Climate change or
variation seem to examine the future management of an oyster farm.
This study aims to understand the adaptive strategies of oyster farmers in
Tainan to possible climate change or variability. To analyze the mechanism of
adaptive capacity and decision-making through a qualitative approach,
specially , with focus groups, in-depth interviews, and semi-structured
questionnaires.
The results revealed abundant adaptation existing in the oyster farmers in
Tainan, such as selecting small-size or median-size oyster as a way to cope
with typhoon. However information exchange is rare among focus groups and
more training and out reach courses are suggested.
