碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 應用經濟研究所 / 94 / Since the passage of the “Convention on the Law of the Sea” by the United Nations in 1982, the concepts of sustainable and responsible fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the coastal states have gradually taken shape. Regulations on the resources conservation in high sea were adopted by the regional fishery management organizations to enhance the conservation and management of the straddling and highly migratory fish species and to set up a system of the responsible fishery policies. With the advance of technology, the monitoring of vessels via Global Positioning System and automatic submission of real time position to the servers of the fishery management center and data decoded through geographic information system were made possible. In recent years, the resource depletion in Taiwan offshore and coastal areas, illegal use of fishery fuel, excessive records of mortalities caused by ship wrecks, harassments from Japanese officials for long-liners fishing in indistinguishable fishery borders between Taiwan and Japan are problems awaiting government response and resolution.
The objective of this thesis is to examine the use of suitable vessel monitoring system (VMS) in situations mentioned above. The findings of this study show that although the cost of radio-based (HF-SSB) VMS is cheaper as compared to the satellite-based VMS with no connection fees, the radio-based (HF-SSB) VMS system is unstable in receiving rate outside 100 nautical miles and the product manufacture is limited. It is therefore suggested the adoption of a more reliable and cost effective Inmarsat series VMS as a short-term goal. The mid and long term goals will depend on the direction of the policy and the maturity in the HF-SSB VMS development. By a gradual scheme to equip the fishing vessels with VMS, the management system of fishing vessels in Taiwan can be expected to arrive at a more informative, scientific and efficient stage.
