Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Farm Introduction
The facility originally started as the "Penghu County Algae Seedling Cultivation Center" established in 1969, aimed at promoting the cultivation of nori in Penghu County. In 1988, it was officially established as the "Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Center," and in 2011, the site underwent renovations to build the "Seedling Production and Marine Ecology Education Building" along with surrounding projects. The first floor of the building is the seedling production area, the second floor is the exhibition area, and the third floor contains offices and a scenic platform. The center focuses on the breeding and release of various marine fish, shrimp, crabs, nori, and various shellfish species, aiming to enhance the aquatic resources of the county and promote the development of the aquaculture industry in Penghu County. The second floor of the Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Center features a 108-meter-long viewing walkway, which includes a coral planting area and an aquarium display area, accessible to the public and students. Guided tours provide explanations and are complemented by descriptions along the walkway, allowing visitors to understand seedling cultivation production conditions and marine ecological conservation concepts. Adjacent to the bay of the Nangan Village community to the west of the seedling farm, a scenic platform is located outside the third-floor office area, designed for visitors to rest and enjoy the view. The Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Center manages all aspects of aquatic seedling hatching, cultivation, and release. Currently, the ongoing seedling cultivation includes: 1. Fish fry cultivation: Yellowfin bream, common snapper, black sea bream, grouper, longfin yellowtail, oceanic whitetip shark, and rock cod. 2. Shellfish cultivation: Cone pen shell, silver-tipped conch, and dog conch. 3. Shrimp cultivation: Metapenaeus ensis. 4. Crab fry cultivation: Portunus trituberculatus. 5. Major economic algae: Nori, sea lettuce, and serrated kelp. 6. Others: Marine conch and coral. [Recommended stay time] 2 hours.
