In 1975, the project of artificial propagation of mullet achieved the aim of "Complete Culture." That meant that a new generation of mullet larvae was hatched successfully from adult fish that were themselves artificially spawned. The fingerlings produced in the laboratory's tanks were significantly stronger and more disease resistant than those of the same age caught in the open sea.
民國六十四年，人工繁殖烏魚的工作又達成了「完全養殖」的目標，就是由魚卵而稚魚並育成為種魚，再由種魚採卵育成稚魚等重複循環的一系列過程，已可全由人工加以控制，人工育成的種魚也較天然者強壯，對人為操作抗力更強。
