碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 農業經濟學研究所 === 102 === This study aims to investigate the development strategies of Taiwanese’s eel industry based on advantage competiveness of production costs and situation analysis. Many factors influencing the profitability of eel industry but is swayed by the costs of eel fry. Therefore, eel producers should reduce the price risk of eel fry by forecasting the relationship between quantity of eel fry and sunspot, and by controlling both feed and temperature to manage eel production. According the findings of this study, it is recommended for eel producers to alliance with different industries, for instance, to cooperate with reusable energy such as solar or wind power to build new greenhouse, which is very efficient in stabilizing and controlling the growth of eel fry and temper volatility of eel growth cycle. In addition, the government is expected to support the eel industry through introducing new equipment and technology, providing land loans, and personnel training grants. Finally, Taiwan''s eel industry may consider a variety of products, such as marmorata eel farming to increase diversification in order to reduce the price risk of Japanese eel, which is mainly dominated in Japan market.
