Study on maritime enforcement of Taiwan cultured live fish transportation / 臺灣養殖活魚運搬產業執法管理之研究

碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋事務研究所 / 103 / According to FAO’s latest publication, “2012 State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture Status of Ocean”, aquaculture has become a leading industry to promote the global fisheries production. It will rise beyond capture fisheries as the main source of the fishery products supply for human consumptions. Taiwan’s aquaculture industry possess a pivotal position in the world, especially the “grouper” aquaculture. The export volume of this very kind of fish are about 18,000 tons, earning nearly NT 50 billion of foreign exchange in 2013 and the market still remains positive in the future.
The grouper, being one of the most economically valuable aquaculture, are taken as the main product, and are exported to Hong Kong and China through live fish transportation. Live fish carrier is one of the few kinds of vessel that are approved by the central authority of direct transportation across the Strait; but fishing boat is simultaneously the main channel of domestic cases of smuggling. Among different kinds of crime patterns crossing the Strait such as drug smuggling, tax-dodging tobacco, fish, livestock and farm products etc., mainland China is the very major threat, pouring great influence on people’s safety of life and properties, social stability and even the overall national security. Since the risk of cross-strait transportation engaging in smuggling is much higher than the offshore fishing boats, the motivation of this thesis is to provide the Fishery and the Coast Guard Administration with recommendation of the legislation and policy for live fish transportation through analyzing the recent statistics of the illegal cases that are caught by the CGA through security check, in order to improve the efficiency of security check as well as lower the rate of illegal cases and ensure the boarder security.
The study first grasps the international operation condition of live fish transportation through reviewing and analyzing the past literatures(2007-2013); then clean out the records of violations. In addition, a questionnaire for fishermen and security personnel is designed to make up for the shortcomings of the former analysis. Finally, an interview is constructed, with different themes engaged and edited into open-ended questions. Fishery and CGA, duty hosting staff, fishermen, scholar and expert in aquaculture-related field are invited to discuss measures to omprove the policy and the future direction of this stage.
From the results of the interview we could imply that the most inconvenient part
of port inspection the captains of the live fish carriers think are taking too long,
soars as 64.3%. The satisfaction of Rapid Customs Clearance of Security Check policy rates only 57.2%. Statistics reveals that the CGA still need to keep improve the port operation and to promote the mass convenient service, with the goal of raising the service satisfaction rate. Also, the issue” live fish transportation port inspection by CIQS synthetic pattern in international commercial port in the future” is raised into discussion. CGA, scholar and industry hosts all remain optimistic. Finally, conclusions are given to balance the three issue: efficiently preclude smuggling, improve service quality, and boosting industry burgeon, in attempt to benefit both industry and government. Recommendations are given on execution as well as policy aspect, hoping
to reach the goal of safety, convenient and industry evolution.
