近年來，因公海資源共管之趨勢，遠洋漁業遭受重大衝擊。且自我國加入世界貿易組織後，隨著貿易愈趨開放，國內漁業產銷競爭已邁入國際化與自由化。而面臨隨之而來的國際資源保護意識抬頭、國際競爭壓力及經濟環境低靡，又因漁產品供應量充足，使得整體魚價正呈現下滑趨勢，亦宣告低魚價時代來臨。此外，由於各會員國，只求提高漁獲量，鮮少注重行銷及流通，更缺乏供應鏈體系之整合。為此，本研究主要目的在探討臺灣遠洋漁業導入供應鏈管理關鍵成功因素，由實證結果得知：「供應鏈整合與提升競爭優勢」、「產業環境的影響與政府及工會的推動」、「供應鏈管理系統的建立與規劃」與「高階主管的能力與支持」，是臺灣遠洋漁業導入供應鏈管理的關鍵影響因素。

For the last few years, serious impacts have been inflicted on far seas fishery due to the policy of the joint administration of international waters. Furthermore, since Taiwan's entry into World Trade Organization (WTO), the inland trades have become more open, and the fishery in Taiwan has also been internationalized as well as liberalized. With the increasingly interested issues regarding international resource conservations, the pressures cause by the international competitions, and the depressed economic environment, plus the sufficient supplies of fish products, the overall price for fish is in the decline, which indicates the coming of an age of low-priced fish. Moreover, the reason for the float in fish prices seems to be that “the supply exceeds the demand”, therefore the prices were abused by the buyers. However, the countries only make sure to increase the fishery harvesting, and never worry about the marketing and the circulation, not to mention the integration of supply chain systems. The objective of the present study is to understand the critical factors for successfully introducing supply chain management in Taiwan's far seas fishery. The results show that: “the supply chain integration and the competitiveness increase”, “the effects of the industrial environment and the promotion from the government and the industrial union”, “the establishment and planning of the supply chain management system”, and “the ability and support of the executives” are the key factors for successfully introducing the supply chain management in Taiwan's far seas fishery.
