For providing fresh, hygienic and safe seafood, Council of Agriculture first introduced Good Aquaculture Practice (GAP) to construct and boost the demonstrating plan of seafood traceability. However, there were only 227 certificated fish farmers in three years, and which merely accounts for 0.73% in terms of all fish farmers. Even some certificated fish farmers were disappointed about this project because the price of seafood can not reflect cost. Hence, some of those fish farmers stopped executing GAP. Finally, Council of Agriculture gave up the GAP plan, and proposed a new structure of the seafood traceability system.
This study aims to explore the problems of the seafood traceability system from the aspect of fish farmers, and to analyze the reasons and ways to solve them in the future.
The research shows that fish farmers play an important role as the producer in the seafood supply chain. In order to construct traceability system, fish farmers need to record aquaculture work in the long-term producing process to assure that the aquaculture practice accords with the restriction of traceability. However, extra work did not pay off and it would affect the fish farmers’ desire to join this project. For the success of the seafood traceability system, the government could reinforce assistance to fish farmers by group entrepreneurs. On the other hand, the government could assist to construct the selling channels of certificated seafood and help consumers to differentiate certificated seafood from non-certificated seafood. Eventually, the price of certificated seafood would rise and fish farmers would like to join the seafood traceability system.
