"調查今年度台灣周邊海域所捕獲鯙類的種別和數量,並兼顧外來水族鯙類物種的引進情形.整理最近3年內鯙類在數量、分布、生殖及成長等方面的研究調查成果,並與過去文獻資料比較,推估求得台灣海域瀕臨絕滅危機的鯙類. 1. 調查評估台灣海域現存鯙科魚類種別和數量,與上二年度的調查結果及過去文獻資料比對,得知稀有及瀕臨絕種的鯙類種群. 2. 由台灣周邊各採集點的訪查,了解現今台灣海域鯙類的分布現況及棲地品質. 3. 推估其生殖季節、週期及最小成熟體型等生殖相關資料.藉以評估現今台灣海域鯙類種群所受的壓力. 4. 藉由對活鯙的飼養和研究,了解其生理及生態的適應狀況.著手培育成熟的鯙類種魚,進行鯙類的人工繁養殖試驗." "Moray eels form an important part of the predatory ichthyofauna within coral-reef habitats. They are also popular as food fish in fish-markets, seafood restaurants, or pet fishes of some aquaria in Taiwan. We had abundant muraenid resources from the waters around Taiwan. But many serious problems that include global change, pollution, physical alteration of habitat and overfishing have caused the violent degradation of their population, mean body size and led to the extinction of numerous rare species. Therefore, to investigate the moray eels are essential works today. Our project plan to investigate muraenid fauna, abundance of survival species and geographical distributions of moray eels in Taiwan. Estimate their population dynamic from the data of body length, body weight and reproductive biology. Review the endangered species of moray eels, then suggest adding them to the Conservation Species List of Taiwan. We also try to collect and breed living morays, then study their ecological habits and do the preliminary experiments of artificial propagation. This project will contribute to the conservation of threatened muraenid eels, management of fishery resource and preservation of natural marine ecosystem."
