Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Farm Introduction
The original establishment was the "Penghu County Algae Seedling Cultivation Center" set up in 1969, aimed at promoting the cultivation of nori in Penghu County. In 1988, it was officially renamed the "Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Center." In 2011, the facility underwent renovations, which included the construction of the "Seedling Production and Marine Ecology Education Building" and surrounding projects. The first floor of the building is dedicated to seedling production, the second floor is for visitor observation, and the third floor houses offices and a scenic platform. The center focuses on the breeding and release of various marine fish, shrimp, crabs, nori, and other shellfish, aiming to enhance local fishery resources and promote the development of aquaculture in Penghu County. The second floor features a 108-meter long observation walkway, which includes coral planting areas and aquarium displays, open to the general public and students for visits. Guided tours complement the introductory information along the walkway, to help visitors understand the seedling cultivation and marine ecological conservation concepts. Due to its location by the bay of the Nangan Tsing Yi community to the west, there is a scenic platform outside the third-floor office area for visitors to rest and enjoy the view. The Penghu County Aquaculture Seedling Breeding Center manages various tasks related to aquatic seedling incubation, cultivation, and release. Current seedling cultivation activities include: 1. Fish seedling cultivation: yellowfin bream, sweetlip emperor, black seabream, grouper, bluegill, barramundi, and rock bass. 2. Shellfish cultivation: conchs, silver cone snails, and turban snails. 3.
