*Fish
at the Archipelagos of the Fishermen
The first westerners
to Penghu call the archipelagos "Pescadores," which means "the Archipelagos
of the fishermen." Thanks to the unique geography in Penghu, fishing
is the most prosperous industries of all in Penghu. The large area
of the surrounding ocean and the abundance of coral reefs stretching
out as natural habitats for fish make the Penghu area a perfect
natural fishing ground. The abundance of fish is not only demonstrated
in quantity but also in variety. Many tropical fishes in bright
colors and all kinds of strange shapes swim among the coral reefs
and add to the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the sea among
these archipelagos. We also have to mention the dolphins that call
this area home. Schools of dolphins congregate at Penghu between
December and March of the following year, forming a spectacular
scene for all to enjoy.
