臺灣漁會的演變與發展

Change and Development of Taiwan Fishermen's Associations

臺灣的漁會組織體系源自日據時期之漁業組合，至今已110年，在臺灣漁業發展的過程之中扮演非常重要的角色。光復以後，漁會擔任政府與漁民之間的橋樑，為漁民提供生活物資生產資材及魚貨銷售等的服務，成為漁民工作與生活的依靠。隨著環境的變遷，漁會效率不彰，經營困難，漁會由三級制改為二級制，許多地區漁會逐漸被整併，漁會由光復初期95單位，整併成立為目前全國漁會1單位、區漁會39單位。未來，漁會除了應創新經濟事業增加收益外，也要加強服務爭取漁民的向心，充分發揮漁會的功能。

The system of Taiwan fishermen's associations derived from Japanese ruled period. In the past century, Taiwan fishermen's associations have played the very important role in fishery developments of Taiwan. After War II, Taiwan fishermen's associations not only served as a communication bridge between government and fishermen, but offered various services on fishing and living necessities for fishermen. With environmental change, most of Taiwan fishermen's associations faced financial troubles and function recession, the number of Taiwan fishermen's associations had been merged from 95 units in 1950s to 1 national association (the National Fishermen's Association, Taiwan, ROC) with 39 area associations. In the future, the National Fishermen's Association should create more new fishery economics to increase financial support, also need to improve the service quality to fulfill fishermen's needs.
