"Pure coincidence," says Chang, "it shouldn't have happened so fast. There still is so much we don't understand well enough. We have to study how the Japanese do large-scale investigation before we can go further." Yet as the fishing grounds off Taiwan increasingly show the effects of overfishing and pollution, seas ranches assume greater importance.
「這可能純是湊巧，因為放流魚苗，成果應該不是立即可見的」，張昆雄說：「我們對海域生態、魚類生活史、魚苗栽培及放流方向等，各方面的瞭解仍嫌不足；學習日本大規模調查海域的做法，才能使海洋牧場更上層樓。」
