消失中的瑰寶：臺灣原生淡水魚的滅絕危機

Abstract

臺灣擁有豐富的淡水魚多樣性，過去和先民生活息息相關。隨著炸魚、毒魚和不當捕撈，加上臺灣自60年代後快速的工商業發展，保育已跟不上淡水魚消失的速度。 目前，除了10種被列入保育類的淡水魚，還有約40-50種生存面臨威脅的原生淡水魚。本深度報導將以外來入侵種威脅、水質汙染、工程破壞及過度捕撈等面向進行報導，以案例方式呈現臺灣原生淡水魚受到威脅的處境、造成威脅的原因，並設法探討可能的解方。 本深度報導透過採訪20多名研究淡水魚、親身接觸淡水魚的專家學者與民眾，將臺灣原生淡水魚所面臨的消失危機，透過文字及照片，真實呈現在報導中。

There is a rich diversity of freshwater fishes in Taiwan, which has been closely related to the lives of Taiwanese. With the improper fishing and the rapid industrial and commercial development of Taiwan after 1960s, the speed of freshwater fishes conservation has not kept pace with the disappearance in Taiwan. At present, in addition to 10 species of freshwater fishes that are included in conservation classes, there are still about 40-50 species of native freshwater fishes that are at risk. This in-depth report focuses on the threat of alien invasive species, water pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing. Case-by-case shows the situation in which native freshwater fishes are threatened in Taiwan. This report also tries to find out the cause of the threat and possible solutions. Through interviewing more than 20 scholars and people who studied freshwater fishes and contact with freshwater fishes, the disappearance crisis faced by Taiwan's native freshwater fish was actually reported in the text and photos.
