The objective of this study is to investigate the employment of foreign fishing crews on fisheries and labor management practices in Taiwan. This research firstly reviews previous studies on fishing crew management. A questionnaire survey was conducted based on a five points Liker Scale. Face-to-face interviews are carried out with several crew employment agencies and fishing boat owners. An Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) framework was used to analyze twelve crew management attributes based on the perception of boat captains' and boat crews' viewpoints. Research results indicated that the availability of a wellfacilitated foreign fishery seafarers counseling center with multilingual counselors in the dockside to facilitate a negotiation and appeal channel between fishing boat owners and their foreign fishing crew are perceived as the most important management attributes to be improved by both the boat captain and the boat crew. In addition, this study found the service attributes in the "concentrate here" quadrant to be improved from boat captains' survey include to establish a complete and dynamic management information system of the foreign crew in every fishery port's administration agency office to help boat captains have the access to the track record of their boat crews' past job performance, as well as provision of quayside information station to help boat captains and boat owners apply and recruit foreign crews for their boats.
