2. Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Listening Sessions

早期職業海洋專業人士 (ECOP)聆聽工作坊

The listening sessions revealed that youth from diverse backgrounds in Taiwan—ECOPs, Indigenous youths, and young Ocean Educators—share strong concerns about marine pollution and ecosystem degradation. Across all groups, ‘Challenge 1: Understand and beat marine pollution' and ‘Challenge 2: Protect and restore ecosystems and biodiversity' were consistently ranked among the top three priorities. While the third priority varied, each group brought unique perspectives shaped by their experiences and professional or cultural contexts. All participants acknowledged that Taiwan has demonstrated significant strengths in marine ecosystem restoration and possesses the capacity to contribute valuable expertise and technology to global ocean sustainability. However, over 60% of ECOPs and Indigenous youth participants had never heard of the UN Ocean Decade, largely due to Taiwan's exclusion from formal UN processes. Despite Taiwan's fisheries and shipping sectors ranking among the top globally, it remains excluded from many international negotiations, resulting in a critical gap in global ocean data and perspectives. The participants called for more inclusive and culturally grounded ocean governance that integrates the knowledge and efforts of non-state actors, including Indigenous communities. Their collective messages urge that Taiwan's marine expertise and perspectives be meaningfully included in international dialogues—ensuring ocean sustainability efforts reflect diverse voices and local realities.

Sustainable Impact:This dialogue gathered Taiwanese youth from diverse backgrounds—environmental advocates, Indigenous leaders, and marine educators—to discuss ocean pollution, ecosystem degradation, and inclusive governance. Participants recognized Taiwan's strong technical capacity in marine ecosystem restoration but highlighted its exclusion from UN Ocean Decade processes, resulting in significant data and representation gaps. Over 60% of attendees had never heard of the UN Ocean Decade, underscoring the need for greater international engagement. The forum called for culturally grounded and inclusive ocean governance that integrates Indigenous knowledge and non-state actors' expertise. It emphasized Taiwan's potential contribution to global marine sustainability through science, education, and policy innovation. This initiative aligns with SDG 14 (Life Below Water), promoting conservation and sustainable management of ocean resources; SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), strengthening global collaboration; and SDG 4.3.5, enhancing educational awareness and professional capacity for sustainable ocean action.

聆聽環節發現，來自不同背景的台灣青年——環保青年、原住民青年和青年海洋教育者——都對海洋污染和生態系統退化有著強烈的擔憂。在所有群體中，「挑戰一：了解並戰勝海洋污染」和「挑戰二：保護和修復生態系統與生物多樣性」始終位列三大優先事項之列。雖然第三個優先事項各不相同，但每個群體都根據自身的經驗、專業或文化背景提出了獨特的觀點。所有參與者都承認，台灣在海洋生態系統修復方面展現出顯著優勢，有能力為全球海洋永續發展貢獻寶貴的專業知識和技術。然而，超過 60% 的環保青年和原住民青年參與者從未聽說過聯合國海洋十年，主要是因為台灣被排除在聯合國正式進程之外。儘管台灣的漁業和航運業在全球名列前茅，但它仍然被排除在許多國際談判之外，導致全球海洋數據和觀點有重大缺口。與會者呼籲更具包容性、以文化為基礎的海洋治理，整合包括原住民社群在內的非國家行為體的知識和努力。他們共同呼籲，將台灣的海洋專業知識和觀點有效納入國際對話，確保海洋永續發展努力反映多元聲音和本土現實。

永續影響力：本活動匯集來自不同背景的台灣青年，包括環保青年、原住民青年及海洋教育者，共同探討海洋污染、生態系退化及多元文化參與等議題。與會者一致認為，台灣在海洋生態修復上具備專業能力與技術優勢，應積極參與全球海洋治理。然而，超過六成的青年未曾聽聞「聯合國海洋十年」，顯示台灣在國際海洋永續進程中被邊緣化的困境。與會者呼籲建立更具包容性的國際對話平台，納入原住民與非國家行為者的知識與經驗，並促進海洋教育與文化治理的融合。此舉不僅推動跨文化合作與教育提升，也體現SDG 14「海洋生態永續」、SDG 17「夥伴關係」、及SDG 4.3.5「教育與專業能力增能」之核心精神。

4. Guidance for Establishing a Friendly Aquaculture Production Model (Year 3)

輔導建立友善養殖生產模式(第三年)

Changhua's coastal areas boast rich and diverse ecosystems and fishery resources. The Changbin area has developed industrial zones, while the Hanbao, Wanggong, and Yongxing areas have reclaimed land for fish pond aquaculture, yet still retain Taiwan's largest mudflat wetlands and natural coastal landscapes.  Changhua is one of Taiwan's main aquaculture production regions, with hard clams being the primary species farmed. The coastal aquaculture area in Changhua County spans nearly 1,600 hectares, primarily concentrated in Fangyuan Township (about 1,200 hectares), with several hundred hectares also in Fuxing and Shengang Townships.  In recent years, extreme climate impacts (temperature fluctuations, sudden heavy rains, water shortages), combined with long-standing improper human management practices (overstocking, deteriorating nearby water sources), have led to poor aquaculture results and declining profits, severely affecting fishermen's livelihoods. The frequent abandonment of farming due to losses is detrimental to the industry's sustainable development.  Under the guidance of the Fisheries Agency and the county government, the "Changhua County Aquaculture Youth Association" was established to integrate local youth energy and drive regional added-value growth. Founded in October 2020, it currently has 67 members spread across Changhua's three major aquaculture production areas: Hanbao, Wanggong, and Yongxing (see Figures 1, 2, 3).  Given the escalating impacts of climate change making aquaculture management increasingly difficult, traditional experience-based methods can no longer cope with the unpredictable climate variations. Moreover, most association members have not received formal aquaculture education and training, making it challenging to effectively assess and address the challenges and issues arising during the aquaculture process, leading to unstable cultivation rates and difficulty improving operational performance.  According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable and safe seafood supply chains have become an international development trend. However, most aquaculture operators pursue the highest profit per unit area, primarily adopting high-density intensive aquaculture models, with excessive feed and drug use, causing significant harm to aquaculture organisms and the ecological environment, and raising concerns about the quality and safety of seafood products.

Sustainable Impact: The coastal region of Changhua, home to Taiwan’s largest clam aquaculture zone and extensive mudflat wetlands, faces increasing stress from climate change and environmental degradation. To strengthen local resilience, National Taiwan Ocean University supported the creation of the Changhua Young Aquaculture Alliance, integrating government guidance, industry collaboration, and academic expertise.

The program advances sustainable aquaculture practices through education, technology transfer, and adaptive management, equipping young farmers with practical skills and ecological awareness. It promotes responsible aquaculture and fosters environmentally friendly production models that mitigate climate risks while enhancing community livelihoods.

This initiative directly supports SDG 14.3.1–14.3.4, encompassing marine education, scientific innovation, sustainable fisheries management, and climate adaptation. It also contributes to SDG 17.2.1, 17.2.5 by building strong multi-stakeholder partnerships and facilitating cross-sector collaboration. Through shared knowledge and capacity-building, the project establishes a replicable model for sustainable coastal fisheries and community-based marine stewardship in Taiwan.

彰化沿海擁有豐富多樣的生態與漁業資源，彰濱一帶有已開發之工業區，漢寶、王功與永興區多填海作為魚塭養殖使用但仍保有臺灣最廣大的泥灘濕地與自然海岸地景。彰化地區為我國養殖漁業主要產區之一，區內以文蛤為大宗養殖物種，彰化縣沿海養殖文蛤近1,600公頃，主要集中在芳苑鄉，多達1,200公頃，福興鄉和伸港鄉也有幾百公頃。近年因受極端氣候衝擊影響(溫差、突然性暴雨、缺水)加上長久以來人為管理方式不當(放養密度過高、附近水源惡化)，導致養殖成效不佳收益逐年下滑，嚴重影響漁民生計，因不堪虧損而棄養之情事頻繁發生，不利產業永續發展。日前在漁業署及縣政府輔導下，成立「彰化縣養殖青年聯誼會」，希望整合在地青年能量帶動區域加值成長，成立於民國109年10月，現有會員67位，遍布彰化三大養殖生產區：漢寶養殖生產區、王功養殖生產區、永興養殖生產區，有鑑於近年氣候變遷衝擊加劇導致養殖管理日趨艱難，沿襲傳統之經驗法則已無法應付詭譎多變之氣候變化，加諸大部分聯誼會成員均未受過正規養殖教育訓練，對於養殖過程中所產生之挑戰與問題變化無法做出有效判斷與處置，導致育成率不穩，經營績效難以提升。  依據聯合國永續發展目標(SDGS)，永續、安全之水產品供應鏈已成為國際發展趨勢，惟大部分養殖業者為追求單位面積最高獲利，多以高密度集約養殖模式為主，大量餌料投餵及藥物使用，對養殖生物及生態環境造成莫大危害，同時也產生水產品品質及安全性不佳之疑慮。

永續影響力：彰化沿海兼具濕地生態與養殖漁業特色，近年因氣候變遷與環境惡化導致漁民生計受影響。為促進漁業永續發展，海洋大學協助成立「彰化縣養殖青年聯誼會」，整合政府、產業與學研資源，推廣責任制養殖與環境友善技術。計畫同時導入氣候調適與生態管理知識，培養青年漁民專業技能，建立可持續的水產經營模式。此舉符合 SDG14.3.1–14.3.4 強調之教育、科研與氣候調適目標，並實踐 SDG17.2.1、17.2.5 的跨域夥伴合作與知識共享，展現學術支持地方漁業轉型的永續典範。

7. Construction of a Novel Marine Fish–Algae Symbiotic System: Exploring the Effects of Different Biological, Chemical, and Physical Factors on System Utilization and Balance

建構新型海水魚藻共生系統–探討不同養殖生物、化學與物理因子對系統利用與平衡之影響

Aquaponics is a resource-efficient system that recycles nutrients, water, and energy. Marine aquaponics offers the potential to conserve freshwater resources. However, research on suitable species combinations and optimal operational parameters remains limited. This study (2024–2025) evaluates the performance of Girella punctata co-cultured with two macroalgae species—Caulerpa microphysa and Sarcodia suiae—under varying stocking densities. Over 12 weeks, 18 independent tanks were set up with a fixed fish density (6 fish/m³) and three algal densities (500, 1000, and 2000 g/m³), each with triplicate setups. Results indicated that C. microphysa exhibited significant and stable biomass growth at 500 g/m³ (p < 0.05), with optimal specific growth rates in the early stages and effective ammonia absorption, stabilizing water quality. Conversely, higher densities (1000 and 2000 g/m³) led to growth stagnation, likely due to nutrient limitations and light shading. S. suiae showed inconsistent growth, particularly at 500 g/m³, suggesting sensitivity to environmental fluctuations and suitability for short-term harvesting strategies. For G. punctata, no significant differences were observed in initial and final weights, weight gain, or survival rates across treatments, indicating that varying algal combinations and densities did not adversely affect fish growth. However, mid- experiment observations noted aggressive behavior in low- density fish groups, implying that social stress may impact stability and health. Water quality analyses revealed an initial spike in total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), gradually decreasing as nitrifying bacteria established. Nitrite (NO₂⁻-N) and nitrate (NO₃⁻-N) levels accumulated in the mid to late stages, with accumulation trends influenced by algal density and species. Lower algal densities (500 g/m³) and S. suiae treatments showed more pronounced accumulation. In contrast, higher densities, and C. microphysa treatments exhibited reduced nitrogen compound buildup, indicating that algal biomass and species affect nutrient absorption and transformation efficiency. Phosphate levels accumulated initially but decreased with algal growth, especially in high-density C. microphysa treatments, demonstrating superior phosphate uptake. In summary, co-culturing G. punctata with macroalgae in marine aquaponic systems is technically feasible. However, further optimization of algal density control, fish population management, and nutrient balance is necessary to enhance system stability and productivity. From a socio-economic perspective, global research on aquaponics has steadily increased over the past two decades, focusing on system optimization, wastewater treatment, nutrient balance, and production efficiency. In Taiwan, approximately 80 commercial aquaponic enterprises exist, with the top 20% occupying the majority of production areas. Recent industry trends highlight four key observations: A decline in output related to aquaponics. 1. Rapid growth in system suppliers and diversified farm models, yet a lack of large-scale commercial operations. 2. Common challenges among operators include poor vegetable growth in summer and intensified market competition in winter. 3. Despite widespread recognition of aquaponics' social value, administrative support remains insufficient. 4. Taiwan's aquaponic systems vary in scale but uniformly aim to practice sustainable agriculture and contribute to environmental and social well-being. While community support is robust, operators face challenges such as extreme weather events, regulatory hurdles, land acquisition difficulties, and facility application processes. Developing diversified business models that integrate food production with community nutrition can enhance food security.

Sustainable Impact:This study investigates a marine fish–algae symbiotic aquaculture system combining Girella punctata with two macroalgae species (Caulerpa microphysa and Sarcodia suiae) under various stocking densities. Results show that moderate algae density improves ammonia and phosphate absorption, stabilizing water quality without affecting fish growth. The system demonstrates ecological benefits and resource efficiency through nutrient recycling and low environmental impact.Additionally, the research analyzes Taiwan's aquaponics industry, identifying challenges such as seasonal production limits, regulatory barriers, and lack of large-scale facilities. It emphasizes the need for innovation and supportive policies to strengthen sustainability and food security.Overall, this study integrates marine biology, ecological engineering, and socioeconomic perspectives, advancing blue circular economy practices and contributing to SDG 14.3.1, which aims to enhance scientific knowledge and technological capacity for sustainable use and conservation of ocean resources.

共生是一種資源高效循環系統，透過魚類與植物的互利共生 ，實現養分、水與能源的再利用。臺灣四面環海，擁有豐富的海藻 資源與成熟的養殖技術，具備發展海水魚藻共生系統的優勢。然而 ，目前針對可食用藻類與養殖生物組合及系統操作參數的研究仍有 限。 本研究旨在評估瓜子鱲（Girella punctata）與兩種大型海藻（小 葉蕨藻 Caulerpa microphysa 與蘇氏海木耳 Sarcodia suiae）於 不同放養密度下對海水魚藻共生系統運作效能的影響。結果顯示 ，小葉蕨藻在500 g/m³密度下生長穩定，特殊成長率於實驗前期表 現最佳，並有效吸收氨氮穩定水質；高密度組（1000與2000 g/m³）藻體生長停滯，可能與營養鹽限制與光照遮蔽有關。蘇氏海 木耳整體成長不穩，特別在500 g/m³密度下藻體重量明顯下降，顯 示對養殖環境變動高度敏感，適合短期採收策略。瓜子鱲方面，各 處理組間初重、末重、增重率及存活率無顯著差異，顯示不同藻類 組合與密度對其成長無直接負面影響。但實驗中期觀察到低密度魚 群出現打鬥行為，推測社會性壓力可能影響群體穩定性與個體健康 。水質分析結果指出，總氨氮（TAN）於試驗初期短暫上升後逐步下 降，反映硝化菌群落逐漸建立；亞硝酸氮（NO₂⁻-N）與硝酸氮 （NO₃⁻-N）濃度於實驗中後期呈現累積現象，且與藻類放養密度 及種類存在明顯關聯性。亞硝酸氮與硝酸氮濃度在藻體放養密度較 低（500 g/m³）及藻種為海木耳時累積趨勢較明顯；反之，在高密 度放養且使用海葡萄時，系統中氮鹽累積幅度較小，顯示藻體總量 與種類均影響營養鹽的吸收與轉化效率。磷酸鹽於前期累積，後期 隨藻體生長而逐步降低，尤其在海葡萄高密度組表現出較佳的磷吸 收效果。綜合而言，本研究證實以瓜子鱲結合大型藻類進行海水魚 藻共生養殖具技術可行性，但仍需針對藻類密度控制、魚類群體管 理與營養鹽平衡進行進一步優化，以提升系統穩定性與生產效能。 社會科學研究方面，全球對魚菜共生系統的研究穩定增長，聚焦於 系統效能優化、廢水處理、養分平衡，以及動植物生產效率等主題 。臺灣目前約有80家商業型魚菜共生業者，其中前20%業者占據大部 分生產面積。近十年的產業與研究發展趨勢顯示出四項關鍵觀察 ：第一，台灣魚菜共生相關學術產出逐年減少；第二，系統供應業 者快速增加，農場型態日益多元，但缺乏穩定的大規模商業場域 ；第三，業者普遍面臨夏季蔬菜生長不良與冬季市場競爭加劇的挑 戰；第四，雖然魚菜共生的社會價值已廣獲肯定，行政支援卻仍顯 不足。臺灣魚菜共生系統形式多樣，無論規模大小皆致力於實踐永 續農業，並關注其對環境與社會福祉的貢獻。社區支持力量穩固 ，但業者仍須應對氣候極端、法規障礙、土地取得與設施申請不易 等問題。在魚菜共生兼具糧食生產與社區營養功能的前提下，發展 多元化經營模式將有助於提升糧食安全。

永續影響力：本研究以海水魚藻共生系統為核心，探討瓜子鱲與兩種大型藻類（小葉蕨藻、蘇氏海木耳）在不同放養密度下的生長表現與水質變化。結果顯示，適當密度可提升藻體吸收氨氮與磷酸鹽效率，穩定水質並維持魚類健康，證實魚藻共生具備生態與經濟雙重效益。研究亦從產業面分析臺灣魚菜共生之社會趨勢，指出產業學術發展、季節挑戰與法規限制等問題，呼籲結合技術創新與政策支持以強化產業韌性。整體而言，此研究從生物學、環境科學與社會經濟多面向出發，展現海洋大學推動海洋永續資源利用與藍色生產技術創新之具體成果，符合 SDG 14.3.1「發展科學研究以支持海洋生態系與資源永續利用」之目標。

9. Effects of dnd1 mutation on primordial germ cell migration and sex determination in freshwater angelfish, and the consequent impacts of germ-cell deficiency on fatty-acid and energy metabolism.

探討淡水神仙魚 dnd1 基因突變對原始生殖細胞遷移、性別決定脊因此缺乏生殖細胞對脂肪酸與能量代謝改變之影響

We investigate how dnd1 mutation shapes development and metabolism in freshwater angelfish. Using CRISPR-induced alleles, we tracked primordial germ cell migration, quantified gonadal differentiation, and profiled hepatic and muscular lipid metabolism. dnd1 mutants lacked germ cells, showed disrupted PGC guidance, and skewed sex determination toward sterile, masculinized phenotypes. Transcriptomics and qPCR revealed downregulation of lipogenesis genes and enhanced beta-oxidation pathways, consistent with reduced total fatty acids and altered SFA/MUFA/PUFA ratios. Infection and fasting challenges indicated limited energetic flexibility. Our results link germ-line deficiency to systemic metabolic reprogramming, highlighting crosstalk among reproduction, immunity, and energy balance, and informing selective breeding strategies.

Sustainable Impact: This study investigates how dnd1 mutations reshape the development and metabolism of freshwater angelfish using CRISPR-induced alleles, tracking germ cell migration, gonadal differentiation, and lipid metabolism. The research aligns with several SDG14 sub-targets.

It directly contributes to SDG14.3.1 and 14.3.3, which emphasize research and monitoring activities that assess and understand the health and functioning of aquatic ecosystems. By revealing how genetic disruptions in reproductive systems lead to metabolic reprogramming and reduced energy resilience, the study provides insights relevant to maintaining aquatic biodiversity and biological balance.

Furthermore, the findings resonate with SDG14.4.1 and 14.4.2, which call for effective water quality standards and actionable plans to reduce pollutants. The metabolic implications of germline deficiency illustrate how biological stress can alter ecological health indicators, thereby informing pollution prevention and sustainable aquaculture practices.

Finally, the project supports SDG14.5.2, which stresses the importance of monitoring the health of aquatic ecosystems. The integration of molecular, physiological, and environmental data provides a model for long-term monitoring of fish populations and ecosystem resilience. Overall, this research bridges molecular biology and sustainability science, contributing to the protection and sustainable use of aquatic life.

10. Intelligent Aquaculture Feeding Equipment and System Design

智慧化水產養殖投料機具及系統開發應用

Threadfin is a high-value marine food fish. According to the Taiwan Fisheries Department''s Annual Report on Fisheries Statistics 2023, the annual production of fish is approximately 13,200 tonnes, with an annual production value of NT$2.57 billion. In recent years, the aquaculture industry has faced threats such as extreme weather, depletion of near-shore fishery resources, and an aging workforce, making introducing artificial intelligence solutions in aquaculture an inevitable trend. China, South Korea, Japan, Norway, the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia, and Taiwan primarily develop artificial or semi-automatic aquaculture technologies worldwide. Due to the high proportion of individual aquaculture farms in Taiwan, the relatively high costs of fishpond acquisition, as well as the difficulty in recruiting workers, and the lack of high-tech talent willing to take over traditional aquaculture models due to the declining birth rate, the industry''s competitiveness has been insufficient. One of the shortcomings of traditional automatic feeders is the inability to determine the remaining feed quantity and the amount of feed ejected. Therefore, our team uses a self-designed weighing module and laser ranging module to estimate the remaining feed quantity in the feed hopper and the amount of feed ejected. At the same time, the smart feeder uploads this information to a cloud database, allowing aquaculture farmers to know the actual feeding situation and establish a concrete aquaculture strategy. Considering the possibility of feed breakage affecting feeding, the smart feeder uses wind power as its power system. Since a large amount of feed will be fed in the late stage of aquaculture, there is a possibility of feed accumulating at the bottom of the feed hopper, causing blockage. Therefore, our team uses a controllable roller to create disturbances to prevent blockage and adds a device that can adjust the size of the bottom opening, allowing aquaculture farmers to adjust according to the feed size. To improve the problem that traditional automatic feeders cannot control the feeding direction, our team designed a cloud platform consisting of a main mechanism and a rotating nozzle. The main mechanism controls the rotation of the rotating nozzle, and the rotation angle is 0 to 180 degrees. There are two modes: Mode 1, back-and-forth scanning; Mode 2, specific angle projection. This mode will cooperate with water splash recognition to achieve precise feeding. The goal of this system is to promote and apply the previously established smart aquaculture system technology in land-based aquaculture farms where electricity and communication are more convenient. The previous automatic feeding system is miniaturized and lightweight, and the feed quantity and position can be adjusted according to the fish''s water splash analysis. Coupled with the communication network, it can be more easily integrated with AI aquaculture strategies and management. In addition, the aquaculture data is recorded in the form of data to promote and try to solve the operating model of aquaculture farmers.

Sustainable Impact:The development of an AI-powered smart feeding system for aquaculture aligns with SDG14.2.2, 14.3.1, and 14.3.2.

By integrating AI algorithms, weight and distance sensors, and cloud-based monitoring, the system optimizes feeding precision, minimizes feed waste, and reduces water pollution. These innovations contribute to climate adaptation, emission reduction, and sustainable resource management in the aquaculture sector.

In collaboration with local fish farmers, the project applies data-driven management to improve production efficiency and resilience to climate challenges. It promotes cleaner aquaculture practices, supports ecosystem conservation, and demonstrates how technological innovation can drive both economic viability and environmental protection. This initiative embodies a model of sustainable blue economy through academic–industry collaboration and digital transformation for marine and climate sustainability.

午仔魚為高經濟價值之海水食用魚類，根據2023年漁業署漁業統計年報資料午仔魚年產量大約1.32萬公噸，年產值約達25.7億元新台幣。近幾年水產養殖業面對極端氣候、近海漁業資源枯竭、從業人口高齡化等威脅，養殖業導入人工智慧解決方案乃大勢之所趨。世界各國之人工或半自動養殖技術，大都由中國、韓國、日本、挪威、美國、歐盟、加拿大、澳洲及臺灣提出。由於臺灣的水產養殖業個體養殖戶比例高，相對魚塭取得成本也偏高，加上少子化的影響導致現今招工不易及高科技人才鮮少願意承接傳統水產養殖模式等等因素，養殖的產業競爭力不足。 傳統的自動投料機缺點之一就是不知道剩餘飼料量與射出飼料量，因此本團隊使用自行設計的秤重模組與雷射測距模組來推算儲料桶剩餘飼料量與射出飼料量。同時智慧投餌機會把這些資訊上傳至雲端資料庫，讓養殖業者得知實際的餵食情況，好建立具體的養殖策略。考量到飼料容易破碎造成攝食情況不理想的可能，智慧投餌機使用風力作為動力系統。由於水產養殖後期會投餵大量的飼料，會有飼料堆積於儲料桶底部造成堵塞的可能，因此本團隊使用一可控滾輪造成擾動避免堵塞，同時加入可調整底部開口大小的裝置，讓養殖業者可以根據飼料大小自行調整。為了改善傳統的自動投餌機不能控制投餌方向的問題，本團隊設計了包含主要機構與旋轉噴頭兩個部分的雲台，主要機構控制旋轉噴頭轉動，旋轉角度為0到180度，有兩種模式，模式一，來回掃射；模式二，特定角度投射，此模式會配合水花辨識進而達成精準投料。 本系統的目標是在電力與通訊更加方便的陸上養殖場域下，結合以往建立的智慧養殖系統技術做推廣與應用，將之前自動射料系統加以小型化、輕量化，可依魚隻水花分析調整射控料量與位置，再搭配通訊網路，更能方便結合AI的養殖策略與管理。另外以數據的形式記錄養殖資料，推廣並試圖解決養殖業者問題的經營模式。

永續影響力：本團隊開發智慧投餌系統，結合 AI 與感測技術以改善傳統養殖效率，符合 SDG14.2.2、14.3.1、14.3.2 之永續指標。此系統透過數據化管理、雲端監控與精準投餌，降低飼料浪費與水體污染，促進減碳與氣候調適。同時藉與地方養殖業者合作推廣智慧化生產，提升產業韌性與海洋環境永續。此研究兼具技術創新、教育推廣與環境保護效益，展現產學合作落實藍色經濟與低碳永續之具體實踐。

11. Green Level Marine Educators Training Course

綠階/初階海洋教育者培訓課程

The Taiwan Marine Education Center was established to integrate national marine education resources, review and plan marine education policies and help promote local marine education. For four years, Taiwan Marine Education Center has worked continuously with local marine education centers and schoolteachers on projects entrusted to them by the Ministry of Education. It has identified several issues confronting the White Paper on Marine Education Policy (promulgated in 2007) since its implementation. First, marine educators were scattered everywhere without an integrated system; second, work conditions for marine educators varied significantly, leading to a big difference in teaching quality and lack of commonality; third, marine education promoted by local marine education centers lacked systematic integration in human resources; fourth, the Ministry of Education had not set up a central marine education counseling team; fifth, some grassroots teachers had not yet touched marine education. To resolve the abovementioned issues, Taiwan Marine Education Center further conceived and proposed the "Training Mechanism for Marine Educators" hoping to achieve the following main objectives: 1. Integrate the power of marine educators, including schoolteachers, volunteers from social education institutions, marine professionals and members of private marine organizations 2. Build a professional culture for marine education and provide common competencies to improve the quality of marine educators. 3. Assist cities/counties in setting up talent databases, promoting the systematic integration of human resources and forming marine education counseling teams. 4. Develop marine educator facilitators in schools to build a sustainable mechanism for marine education. The Green Level Marine Educators Training Plan aims to attract more people to engage in marine education at their positions, excite their passion for marine services and expand their marine thoughts. Those who are qualified as Green Level marine educators are responsible for teaching courses on marine education or leading marine education activities, including (1) teaching in schools and promoting activities related to marine education, (2) tours conducted by social education institutions and promoting activities related to marine education, (3) NGOs and charity groups promoting activities related to marine education and (4) marine industrial visits and education.

Sustainable Impact: Commissioned by the Ministry of Education, the Taiwan Ocean Education Center at National Taiwan Ocean University developed a training mechanism for ocean educators based on a three-tier framework. The beginner (green) level program aims to broaden participation, inspiring enthusiasm for marine service and fostering ocean-oriented thinking among educators.

Since 2019, the program has been implemented in ten counties and cities through in-service teacher workshops that integrate local marine education facilities, field trips, and hands-on coastal or water-based activities. These experiential sessions enhance teachers’ understanding of ocean literacy and empower them to promote marine education within their schools.

This initiative aligns with SDG 14.3.1 – Promoting Marine Education and Literacy and SDG 4.3.2 – Expanding Access to Inclusive and Lifelong Learning Opportunities, demonstrating NTOU’s leadership in advancing nationwide ocean awareness and capacity building for sustainable education.

12. Effects of Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira on cellular redox homeostasis in response to oxidative stress induced by Vibrio parahaemolyticus in haemocyte of Penaeus vannamei

臺灣原生種土肉桂調控白蝦血球內氧化還原恆定以應對副溶血弧菌誘導之氧化壓力傷害 (II)

Hemocytes of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) generate a series of innate immune responses to counter pathogen invasion. With aquaculture environments deteriorating due to climate change, pathogen infection often induces hemocytes to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate pathogens. However, excessive ROS accumulation can cause oxidative stress, impair cellular functions, and trigger global DNA damage responses, apoptosis, and autophagy. Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira, an indigenous species in Taiwan, has long been used for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, suggesting its potential to mitigate oxidative damage in aquatic animals under environmental or pathogenic stress. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant and autophagy-regulating effects of dietary supplementation with C. osmophloeum leaf hot-water extract (CLWE) in white shrimp during pathogen infection. Specific aims (SA) included: SA1: Evaluating the effects of dietary CLWE on shrimp growth and antioxidant capacity. SA2: Assessing the impact of dietary CLWE on ammonia-stress tolerance. SA3: Investigating the modulation of redox homeostasis and cellular damage repair responses during Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. SA4: Examining the regulation of autophagy and apoptosis-related responses under V. parahaemolyticus infection. Our key findings showed that: 1. dietary CLWE significantly improved shrimp growth performance, including weight gain, specific growth rate, survival rate, and intestinal microbiota composition by reducing potential pathogens, while enhancing antioxidant capacity, with the most prominent effects observed after 14 days of feeding. 2. CLWE supplementation effectively enhanced tolerance to ammonia stress by regulating antioxidant enzymes and gene expression throughout early to late stress stages, with the optimal dosage being 0.5 g CLWE per kg feed for 14 consecutive days. 3. Feeding CLWE for 14 days before V. parahaemolyticus challenge effectively modulated antioxidant capacity and cellular damage repair responses during the 7-day infection period. 4. CLWE supplementation also significantly regulated the expression of autophagy-related genes (atg4, atg5, atg10, atg12, and becn1) and apoptosis-related genes (casp, casp3, and p53) during infection. Overall, this study provides preliminary evidence that dietary supplementation with C. osmophloeum leaf hot-water extract can regulate redox homeostasis in white shrimp under ammonia and V. parahaemolyticus-induced oxidative stress.

Sustainable Impact: This study investigated the effects of incorporating Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira leaf hot-water extract (CLWE) into shrimp feed to enhance antioxidative defense and immune regulation in Litopenaeus vannamei. Results demonstrated that CLWE supplementation significantly improved shrimp growth performance, oxidative stress resistance, and pathogen defense, while modulating autophagy and apoptosis-related genes. These outcomes suggest that CLWE serves as a natural, sustainable feed additive capable of mitigating environmental stress and disease challenges in aquaculture systems.

The project aligns with 14.3.2 – Advancing Marine Research. By integrating marine biotechnology, ecological conservation, and educational dissemination, this research exemplifies sustainable innovation that strengthens both marine ecosystem resilience and the scientific literacy necessary for future-oriented aquaculture development.

14. Investigation on aquaculture carbon sink and establishment of measurement methodology

養殖漁業碳匯調查及建立量測方法學研究

Due to the absence of a matching Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) mechanism in our country, the national greenhouse gas emissions inventory has yet to establish wetland-related carbon sink data. In order to understand the overall carbon sink variations and potential reductions in emissions in our country, as well as to adhere to the three core principles (measurable, verifiable, and reportable) and five key characteristics (additivity, conservatism, permanence, avoidance of harm, and avoidance of double counting) required for future voluntary reduction projects, this project will focus on carbon sinks in aquaculture, including the milkfish and sea bass farming industries. We will measure the greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sinks in water bodies and sediments, and analyze their local coefficients. The goal is to accurately estimate the carbon sink or carbon source capabilities of wetlands in line with the international trend towards net-zero emissions and to achieve the domestic net-zero emissions policy objectives.

Sustainable Impact: This project addresses the current gap in Taiwan’s national greenhouse gas inventory, which lacks wetland carbon sequestration data. It focuses on measuring greenhouse gas emissions and carbon storage in milkfish and seabass aquaculture systems, including both water and sediment compartments, to establish localized carbon coefficients. The study supports the development of Taiwan’s Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) framework and aligns with the three key MRV principles—measurability, verifiability, and reportability—as well as the five essential attributes of carbon management: additionality, conservativeness, permanence, avoidance of leakage, and prevention of double counting.

The outcomes will enhance national understanding of wetland carbon fluxes, inform voluntary mitigation programs, and contribute to net-zero strategies under SDG 13.3–13.4. Simultaneously, the research advances sustainable aquaculture and coastal wetland carbon management, aligning with SDG 14.2–14.3. By quantifying blue carbon potential and integrating it into national climate policy, this project builds a scientific foundation for low-carbon aquaculture and climate-resilient marine ecosystems in Taiwan.

因我國尚未建立相符之監測、報告與驗證機制（MRV），國家溫室氣體排放清冊尚未建立濕地相關碳匯量數據，為了解我國整體之碳匯變動量及可減少之排放量，以及未來自願減量專案中所需之三大原則（可量測、可驗證、可報告）和五大特性（外加性、保守性、永久性、避免產生危害及避免重複計算），本案將針對養殖漁業碳匯，包含虱目魚及鱸魚養殖產業，進行水體及底土之溫室氣體與碳匯量測，並分析其本土係數，期望可精確的推估濕地的碳匯或碳源能力，以符合國際淨零排放趨勢及達到國內淨零排放政策目標。

永續影響力：本計畫針對我國尚未納入國家溫室氣體清冊之「濕地碳匯」議題，進行養殖漁業（虱目魚與鱸魚產業）水體與底土之溫室氣體排放與碳匯量測，建立本土化碳吸存係數，補足我國MRV（監測、報告、驗證）機制缺口。研究結果將有助於掌握濕地碳源與碳匯變動，為自願減量專案奠定基礎，符合「可量測、可驗證、可報告」三原則及五項碳管理特性（外加性、保守性、永久性、避免危害、避免重複計算）。 此研究不僅支援國家淨零排放政策與氣候治理（SDG13.3.1–13.4.1），亦促進海岸與養殖濕地的生態碳匯功能理解（SDG14.2.1–14.3.3），為台灣藍碳管理與低碳漁業發展提供重要實證依據。
