INTRODUCTION
TAIWAN is advanced in various aquacultures. Its fish farmers are especially
noted for their cultures of milkfish in brackish water and poly-cultures of
Chinese carps in fresh water. Its research biologists have been among the
leaders in developing shrimp culture and have been the most successful in
artificially reproducing and raising mullet to food size.
Aquacultural facilities were toured in Taiwan during June 1971. The itinerary
was developed by Mr, T. P. Chen, Director, Fisheries Division, Joint Commission
on Rural Reconstruction, Mr, Chang-Jyi Chiou served as interpreter.
This report includes a summary on milkfish culture and the techniques used
in artificially spawning and raising mullet in Taiwan.
