碩士 / 國立屏東教育大學 / 社會發展學系碩士班 / 101 / Taiwan’s marine fisheries include three types about coastal, inshore and offshore. Offshore fishing is economic lifeline of Taiwan fisheries development. With the change of space-time and environment, coastal and inshore fishing decline. In recent years, response to competition of internationalization and globalization, offshore fishing operate gradually from small-scale family business into a company entrepreneurial corporatization. However, playing a leadership and communication role between company and crew is captain, the soul person of offshore fishing.
This study shows the change of development for Taiwan offshore fishing as well as scene and daily life of maritime labor on offshore fishing boat through fish-catch experience from interviewing two captains of ultra-low temperature tuna long-line. The study then points out the labor system arrangement of tuna long-line industry through the analysis of labor theory.
First, the study discusses institutional arrangement and non-institutional disaster risk of maritime labor from two parts: salary reward system and internal-nation, and finds that the labor system of tuna long-line industry is operation of nation mechanisms instead by captain and shipping company. Captain conveys the oppressed voluntary obedience ideology for crews through leadership experience on the fishing boat. According to market-authoritarian regime, shipping company develop their own “latent” rules of game, which is the main manager.
Next, we discuss labor awareness of captain doing “object”. “Object” means the item having both quality and quantity, which also represents fish-catch value of the ability of living from the sea for captain. Those show the characteristic of captain’s labor awareness which is different from crews: awareness of boss-to-be, experience labor awareness, virtual self-awareness, special class awareness of captain as a “object” worker. We also find “fate-accepted nation” and “mutual nation” featured by Taiwan labor cultural is the main characteristic of voluntary obedience ideology of exploiting between shipping company, captain and crew of the maritime labor.
Finally, we suggest the ruling authorities must formulae the maritime labor laws, settle Chinese fisherman appropriately, help industry to deal with non-institutional disaster risk, and implement cadre training of offshore fishing boat. Ensured basic human rights of maritime through legal norms to decrease the occurrence of non-institutional disaster risk, inducing young people willing to work on far-sea shipping boat to avoid the situation of fault of Taiwan’s leadership talent deteriorating continually.
