An Analysis on Profitability Factors of Eel Culture Industry in Taiwan / 台灣鰻魚養殖產業獲利性影響因素之分析

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 水產養殖學系 / 95 / A research was carried out to evaluate factors that affect the profitability of the Taiwanese eel industry, focussing on culture system, input costs, and drugs additives. The factors were cross ahalysed by examining eel fry production in Asia and considering the trade of eel to Japan, in total eel production and price, and the interaction between the two, and other factors. A SWOT analysis to compare the competetiveness of the eel industry between Taiwan & China yielded the following results :
1. Between 2000-2005, fry and feed costs account to 84% of the total cost in eel production in Taiwan. The cost of fry is greater than feed.
2. In per hectare, the cost of production in concrete ponds is higher than earthen ponds. However profitability in concrete ponds is higher than earthen ponds. In view of nature environment conservation, the way of eel culture in earthen ponds is the better choice.
3. For production costs, each kilogram costs more in Japan, seconded by Taiwan followed by China.
4. Drugs & additives residuals issues affect the price & production to Japan. The issue is more severe in China than to Taiwan.
5. Drugs & additives administration cause degeneration of the eel (Anguilla anguilla) industry. Anguilla japonica has been the main in Japan product due to its production & price since drug issue happened.
6. Factors affecting the profitability of the eel industry in Taiwan include, cost of fry, fry production, trading partners (Japan) drugs & additives, development of eel industries in China, demand & supply in Taiwan and other Asian markets, production costs, quality of product, culture system and feeding regime.
The desire to keep making profit in eel industry is important. The proposal of drugs & additives administration should be revised perfectly to improve export quality, replacement of concrete ponds with earthen ponds;improve survival rate of eel fry, environmental conservation management, establish a region brand, improve eel quality in safety and health & HACCP. These will boost up profitability in eel industry.
