Fisheries education in Taiwan：Status and prospects

Abstract

In response to Taiwan's economic growth and rapid development of fisheries, a serious appraisal of fisheries education of this country was undertaken. The current curriculum, faculty, facility, and availability of schools providing fisheries education have been selected from the present education system and reviewed. The status of education with regard to commercial fishing, aquaculture, marine food science and fi-sheries management and ways to improve the fisheries education system in these four areas are discussed.
