However, the fishing industry does have a bright side. For example, even when manufacturing is in recession, fishermen's incomes remain relatively stable. For the fishermen of Hsiao Liuchiu, well known for their long-line tuna fishing skills, growing domestic demand for bluefin tuna makes this doubly true.
唯一值得安慰的是，在工商業不景氣聲中，漁民的收入並沒有多大的影響，尤其以「延繩釣」技術知名的琉球漁民，在今年黑鮪魚內銷市場暢旺的情況下，收入相當穩定。
