飛魚為台灣東部海域常見的魚種之一，同時具有生態、漁業以及文化等三個層面的意涵，除了是高經濟價值洄游魚種的食餌與許多重要家計型沿岸漁業的目標魚種外，也是蘭嶼飛魚文化的精髓。本研究的目標魚種：紅斑鰭飛魚（Cheilopogon atrisignis）屬大型飛魚，除了為台灣周圍海域的六大飛魚優勢種之一，更是蘭嶼當地主要的飛魚漁獲，過去調查研究發現僅能在蘭嶼海域與綠島以南海域被捕獲，因此紅斑鰭飛魚對蘭嶼具有獨特性。然而以漁業生物學研究作為漁業資源管理的科學依據，針對紅斑鰭飛魚此類重要魚種的漁業生物學在國內卻少有相關研究。本研究利用耳石的細微構造、性腺外觀及組織切片進行年齡成長推估與生殖型態研究，以供作為修正現行漁業政策或制定未來漁業政策的科學參考依據。本研究採集之紅斑鰭飛魚雄魚平均尾叉長為27.35 ± 0.85 公分，雌魚平均尾叉長為28.98 ± 0.82 公分。由耳石細微構造經驗證為日週輪。由於台灣僅能採樣到成魚，因此利用同屬白鰭飛魚野生幼魚樣本來補充無法在野外取得之紅斑鰭飛魚，所推測之范式成長方程式為L_t=35.21× (1-e^(-2.41(t-0) ) )；由生殖研究結果可推測紅斑鰭飛魚屬批次產卵型（Batch spawner）魚種，在蘭嶼飛魚季時的紅斑鰭飛魚皆具產卵能力，或為已排卵的狀態，藉由日輪回推與組織切片結果可推測此魚種具夏冬兩產卵季，且夏季產卵場為蘭嶼周圍海域；由人工試養結果可推測此魚種出生11天後即具備三對耳石，但人工養殖之樣本成長速度較野生樣本緩慢，不可取代野生樣本作成長推估使用。

Flying fish is one of the most common species off eastern Taiwan, and it represents three different aspects of meanings, which are ecology, fishery and culture. It is not only the food of high valued fish and target specie of artisanal fishery but also the core for the culture of the Orchid Island. The target specie of this research is Cheilopogon atrisignis, which can only be caught around the Orchid Island in Taiwan in the past research. Because of the uniqueness of C. atrisignis, it is worth researching by fishery biology. We use the increment of the othliths and the histologic section of gonads for the growth and reproduction research, and the result could be the scientific reference for fishery policy. The average fork length of male samples is 27.35 ± 0.85 cm；The average fork length of female samples is 28.98 ± 0.82 cm. For the growth research, it has daily increment and the VBGF is L_t=35.21× (1-e^(-2.41(t-0) ) ). For the reproduction research, it belongs to batch spawner, and is spawning capable around the Orchid Island from April to July. For cultivation, we found out that it has three pairs of othliths on eleven days old. However, the growth rate of cultured samples is much lower than wild samples, so the result of cultured cannot replace the result of wild samples.
