碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋事務與資源管理研究所 / 102 / Recreational fisheries population is increasing, many developed countries, including the United States, Canada have conducted a national survey and take conservation measures such as catch and effort limit. In view of the increasing angling population in Taiwan coastal and harbor areas, local governments designated specific angling areas in fishing ports in accordance with relevant regulations. This study conducted 73 sample surveys and 408 questionnaires in 10 fishing ports in New Taipei City and 5 fishing port in Keelung from July 2013 to June 2014. The results showed that 96.81% of the anglers were male, most came from New Taipei City (50.98%), and the average age was 45.92 ± 11.50 years, fishing experience averaged 22.95 ± 13.78 years. Among anglers, 28.92% were professionals, 61.76% were sports type and 9.31% were recreationals. The estimated numbers of anglers was 107,892 ± 2,099, the average catch rate was 1.37 ± 2.99 (fish/ hour), the total angling effort were 522,515.38  19,981.62 hours, average time length was 4.97 ± 4.30 hours per time. the annual catch was 201.37  0.48 tonnes (845,231  21,106 fish). There were 31 families, 39 species and 2,857 fish were recorded. The major species was Siganus canaliculatus, accounting for 64.51% (1843 fish). The average length was 11.45 ± 5.59cm, smaller than mature length. Another indicator species is Scaridae, accounting for 1.16% (33fish), average length of 22.08 ± 7.70 cm, more than mature length. For the management, more than half (57.41%) agreed that anglers should carry safety equipment. However, the proportion of actual wear proportion (2.94%) were low. It showed that lack of safety awareness. More than half (69.36%) agreed anglers was one of the source for harbor debris. Majority (70.59%) suggested that there should set more trash cans. There are 82.11% hopes to strengthen the port environment. 69.12% of anglers expected the governments could open more ports or increase the existing fishing ports area for angleing. This study is the first survey of angling activities in fishing ports of northern Taiwan. A database for angleing fish species is established for management. In addition, the opinions of anglers were provided for the competent authority for further management.
