碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 農企業管理系所 === 97 === Eel Aquaculture in Taiwan has developed for a long time. In recent years, the profits have reduced because of the fast development of eel aquaculture in China to supply more than demand and the stricter requirements of food security in Japan. However, there are still some companies successfully exporting eel products into the Japan’s market with stable price and good profits. Therefore, the goal of this research is to investigate the situations of the eel aquaculture in Taiwan, to identify the value-added activities of the eel aquaculture, and to extract the key success factors of eel aquaculture. Based on the theory of Porter’s value chain of corporation, the related literature, and the expert interviews, the model of value chain of eel aquaculture farm in Taiwan is established and the activities are investigated. Based on the value-added activities, a model of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is derived to extract the key success factors. As the results, the key success factors of eel aquaculture farm in Taiwan are: “feeding dose control”, “sorting”, “financial plan”, and “permission of specialized organization examination”. The strategies of eel aquaculture are suggested as: 1. to control the best production process to fill the market requirements; 2. to set up the annual finical funds planning system and to utilize the assistance from production cooperatives; 3. to ensure the food safety by following the maintain examination system and using the permitted products.
