2. 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。

5. 2024 World Oceans Day Fish Fry Ecological Release Event

2024世界海洋日放流活動

Here is the English translation of the story-based summary from the perspective of National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU):  Translating Knowledge into Action: NTOU USR Team Leads Marine Education and Ecological Stock Release at Yehliu Under the banner of the 2024 World Oceans Day theme, "Awaken New Depths," National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU) once again demonstrated that a university is not just a repository of knowledge but a critical driver of marine sustainable development through tangible action.  The NTOU USR (University Social Responsibility) Team, in collaboration with partners including the Taiwan Ocean Conservation and Fisheries Sustainability Foundation and the Fisheries Agency, successfully hosted a "Fish Fry Ecological Release Event" on June 7th at the Neptune Pier area in Yehliu, New Taipei City. For NTOU, this event was more than just a response to government policy; it was a prime location for implementing the USR project and cultivating the future talents of the marine sector.  Extending Education from the Classroom to the Coast:  NTOU firmly believes that marine education must be rooted early. Under the guidance of Vice Minister Huang Chao-Chin of the Ministry of Agriculture, the event specifically invited students from Yehliu Elementary School to participate. Together, they released healthy native species—including Yellowfin Seabream, Scribbled Snapper, and Ornate Spiny Lobster—into the ocean. Through explanations and guidance on the correct stocking mechanisms provided by the Department of Tourism faculty and students, the children personally experienced the scientific conservation principle of "releasing the right species in the right way, at the right time and location." This effort successfully planted the seeds of sustainable fisheries resource utilization in young hearts.  Validating Effectiveness with Scientific Assessment:  As a leading oceanographic institution, NTOU has a long history of cooperation with the Fisheries Agency, utilizing advanced technologies like gene molecular markers to evaluate the effectiveness of stock release. Research has confirmed that, over the past five years, over 40% of certain economically valuable species caught in the wild originated from these healthy released fingerlings. This provides solid scientific evidence for resource enhancement and highlights NTOU's crucial academic contribution to boosting marine productivity and generating "Three-L" positive spillover effects (Ecology, Livelihood, and Production).  National Taiwan Ocean University is committed to continued collaboration with various partners to safeguard coastal habitat environments. Simultaneously, these practical fieldwork opportunities provide valuable industry experience for students, ensuring NTOU contributes both academic wisdom and practical strength to the sustainable development of Taiwan's marine environment and fisheries resources.

Sustainable Impact:The university's USR team, in partnership with the Fisheries Agency and related foundations, organized a marine ecological release event in Yehliu under the World Oceans Day theme "Awaken New Depths." The program aligns with SDG 14.3.2 by promoting marine education through hands-on learning with local students. Its use of genetic tagging to assess release outcomes fulfills SDG 14.3.3, demonstrating scientific collaboration in marine research. The activity supports SDG 14.3.4 by enhancing sustainable fisheries through the release of native species under controlled, science-based methods. Finally, by engaging government agencies, NGOs, and the public in habitat protection and education, it exemplifies SDG 14.5.1's focus on community-based marine conservation, merging academic knowledge with social responsibility and real-world impact.

7. Outdoor Learning and SDGs Interactive Exhibition & Challenge

戶外教育活動暨SDGs策展闖關活動

Here is the English translation of the story-based summary from the perspective of National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU):  Connecting the Generations for Sustainability: NTOU Tourism Department Lights Up Local Marine Education in Badouzi with SDGs Exhibition In the ongoing mission to advance University Social Responsibility (USR) and preserve local culture, National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU) once again demonstrated the perfect synthesis of academic professionalism and practical engagement.  On May 22nd, the Bachelor's Program in Marine Tourism Management at NTOU, the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST), and the Badouzi Industry Tourism Promotion Association joined forces to host a grand Outdoor Education and SDGs Challenge Stations Event. This marked the first time the three parties combined their initiatives, attracting a record-breaking participation of nearly 400 teachers and students, including kindergarten classes, from Badou Elementary School in Keelung City.  NTOU Students' "Real-World" Capstone Project:  At the heart of the event was the final project presentation for the sophomore-level "Marine Leisure Management" course. Under the joint guidance of Professor Wang Hui-Chiao of the NTOU Tourism Department and researchers from NMMST, 49 enrolled students self-planned, designed, and produced exhibits for 8 micro-exhibition challenge stations based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The activities were rich and diverse, ranging from local cultural experiences like the "pickpocket net" demonstration, fishing port explanations, Shulang seawater dyeing, and Caozaiguo (mugwort rice cake) DIY, to the interactive SDGs challenges. These hands-on activities allowed the children to learn about marine life, pollution, and ecological damage in a fun environment, fostering concepts of loving and protecting the sea from a young age and promoting marine sustainability.  Cross-Sector Collaboration Illuminates the Local Community:  NTOU Tourism Department students showcased outstanding professional skills: 16 students served as guides for the elementary school groups, while 49 ran the exhibitions. Participants voted for the "Best Explanation Award," "Best Knowledge Award," and "Most Popular Award," effectively transforming classroom theory into professional service and stimulating the students' creative thinking and diverse skill sets.  A participating student from Badou Elementary School, Class 5, expressed that the college students taught them much knowledge not covered in school, using games to make it memorable. The student found the half-day event fulfilling and enjoyable, with the handmade Caozaiguo being especially meaningful, wishing the event could have lasted a whole day.  A NTOU student involved in the exhibition, surnamed Huang, shared that while nervous facing such a large group of children, their eagerness and attentiveness were rewarding. Seeing the children happy brought a huge sense of accomplishment, proving the effort put into the project—from collaborative planning to refining explanations—was worthwhile.  Through five consecutive years of USR collaboration with local elementary schools and three years of joint exhibition efforts with NMMST, the NTOU Tourism Department has not only fulfilled its social responsibility and cultivated the nation's first specialized marine tourism management talents but has also effectively promoted the inheritance of local culture and marine sustainability awareness in the next generation.

8. Aquatic Biology Research and Conservation Center Promotes Marine Stock Enhancement and Conservation along Taiwan's North Coast

本中心「水生生物研究暨保育中心」推動北海岸水產生物增殖放流保育

The Aquatic Biology Research and Conservation Center, under the Center of Excellence for the Oceans, National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU), has made remarkable contributions in recent years to marine ecological restoration and sustainable resource management.Since 2014, the Center has collaborated with the New Taipei City Government to establish Taiwan's first Demonstration Area for Cultivated Fisheries in Mao'ao, Gongliao. Through advanced artificial breeding techniques, the Center has successfully achieved full-cycle aquaculture for key northern Taiwan marine species such as the mitten squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) and the three-spot swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) — from mating and spawning to adult stages — and has continuously carried out large-scale seedling releases to promote sustainable fisheries development. In cooperation with the New Taipei City Government, the Center also launched the “Sustainable Ocean Action and Scientific Resource Restoration” project, representing Taiwan's only marine restoration model jointly led by a local government and a university. This initiative integrates academic research with practical marine conservation efforts. In 2024, the Aquatic Biology Research and Conservation Center incorporated key themes such as resource restoration, circular agriculture, and net-zero carbon emissions, achieving diverse and innovative outcomes. In sea urchin and abalone cultivation, locally produced macroalgae (such as Gracilaria tenuistipitata and Grateloupia filicina) were used as feed to reduce costs and carbon emissions. During the intermediate rearing of fish larvae and the cultivation of crabs and squid, algae including Gracilaria, Chaetomorpha, and Ulva were used to provide shelter and spawning substrates while also improving water quality and supplying natural feed. At the Meiyan Mountain Intermediate Rearing Base, after four years of habitat construction, various artificial substrates have successfully supported the growth of multiple natural macroalgal species. This project also pioneered the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) and metabarcoding techniques to verify the presence of macroalgal spores and filaments on substrates and compare them with actual field observations. Furthermore, these techniques were applied to the species composition analysis of fish paste products in Taiwan, with results published in an international journal revealing that many commercial products contain multiple shark species. In abalone (Haliotis diversicolor) genetic resource management, the Center completed analyses of both released and commercial strains, establishing a scientific foundation for future breeding and restoration programs. In the purple sea urchin (Anthocidaris crassispina) restoration project, 6,000 juvenile urchins were successfully bred and released, with ongoing experiments using agricultural by-products as feed. Additionally, the Center continues to cultivate and release high-value species such as the barred knifejaw (Oplegnathus fasciatus). Moreover, Dr. Te-Hua Hsu, Director of the Aquatic Biology Research and Conservation Center, received the 2024 Taiwan Sustainable Action Award – Outstanding Young Sustainability Leader, recognizing his long-term dedication to marine restoration and sustainable fisheries development. His achievement brings great honor to the Center and highlights NTOU's leadership in advancing marine sustainability in Taiwan.

Sustainable Impact:NTOU's Aquatic Biology Research and Conservation Center, in collaboration with the New Taipei City Government, established Taiwan's first "Aozih Bay Mariculture Demonstration Zone." The center successfully cultivated key species such as cuttlefish and crabs using artificial breeding and integrated macroalgae farming to reduce feed costs and carbon emissions. Advanced technologies like environmental DNA and metabarcoding were applied to monitor macroalgae and identify fish components in surimi products, linking scientific research to practical conservation. These efforts foster sustainable fisheries, habitat restoration, and ecosystem resilience, aligning with SDG 14.3.3 (marine science innovation), 14.5.4 (ecosystem restoration), and 14.5.5 (science-based marine management). The initiative exemplifies how academia drives marine sustainability through applied research, cross-sector collaboration, and ecological restoration.

12. 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.

13 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。
