碩士 / 國立臺南大學 / 台灣文化研究所 / 95 / The research is mainly on the culture of fishing grey mullets at Zihguan Township along the seaside. The cultural connotation contains fishermen’s viewpoints, fishing technology, fishing system and religious custom. It also carries on investigations and discussions about the respondence and adjustment when Tao Wu（fishing grey mullets） culture faced output reduction of grey mullets. There are findings as following.
1. Fishermen''s viewpoints:
For fishermen, grey mullets stand for the importance of economy, instability of catches, and evasive myth. These characteristics cause the fishermen to regard grey mullets with a great fondness.
2. Fishing technology and system on Tao Wu:
Fishing technology is divided into surrounding net and purse seine in the research area. These fishing gears make big catches and high prices at auctions. Therefore, people develop a unique sale. For example, the time of auction is not fixed but according to fish boats entering the port. Fishing committee makes stipulation “the grey mullet consignee” in order to avoid auctioning risks. Both of these examples show notable differences from other fishery.
3. Religious custom and taboo on Tao Wu:
Grey mullets'' characteristics strengthen fishermen’s motivation and demand for seeking help from religious; therefore, religious rites praying for abundant harvest and safety penetrate the entire fishing work. In the fishing period, fishermen have to carry out complicated custom and obey the taboo. They do everything by the gods’ instructions. This becomes grey mullet fishery’s biggest characteristic.
4. The impact and adjustment from output reduction of grey mullets:
In the late 80s, due to the bad weather, bad oceanographic condition and the interception catches from mainland China’s fishermen, the quantity of grey mullets migrating to Taiwan declined sharply. Under this impact, purse seine boats in the research area stopped fishing grey mullets, so that Tao Wo fishing boats and their production reduced suddenly at Leliao fishing port. The reduction of grey mullets also causes the original fishery system to operate with difficulty. Zihguan fishing committee and fish boat team can not but adjust their management system and operation to face the impact of grey mullets'' underproduction.
