Infographics: Coral Reef Fish in Taiwan

圖解台灣珊瑚礁魚類

BACKGROUND
Personal Project @ National Taiwan Normal University

CHALLENGE
魚種類及數量與過去相比大幅減少。2006年的國家公園雙月刊中提到墾丁的潮間帶魚種比起二十年前已減少了三分之二的種類，至今台灣海域有多少種魚類已經滅絕，專家亦難以統計。中研院出版的《台灣海鮮指南》中更將珊瑚礁魚類歸類為避免食用。

Compared with the past, the species and numbers of fish have been significantly reduced. In 2006 National Parks bimonthly, it was mentioned that Kenting's intertidal fish species had decreased by two-thirds compared to 20 years ago. So far, experts cannot count how many species of fish have become extinct in Taiwan's waters. Moreover, Seafood Guide Taiwan published by Academia Sinica classifies coral reef fish as avoidance.

Design

根據近年相關報導，歸納發現珊瑚礁魚類在台灣面臨的主要困境為過度捕撈——作為食物被吃，以及作為寵物被飼養。用資訊圖表的方式讓大眾認識珊瑚礁魚類的重要性，傳達勿吃、勿飼養的重點觀念。

Summarizing relevant reports in recent years, it is found that the main dilemma faced by coral reef fish in Taiwan is overfishing-being eaten as food and being kept as pets. Use infographics to let the public understand the importance of coral reef fish, and convey the key concepts of not eating or keeping.
