In 1949 during the period of Martial Law, the situation in the Taiwan Strait was very tense, and Kinmen is very close to mainland China; therefore, local fishermen were included in the combat readiness system, and their life and work were restricted. According to the governmental restrication measures, the Kinmen Fishermen’s Association disseminated information about decrees to shape unique battlefield culture. This study sorted out "Kinmen Fisherman's Association archives" and introduced some of the contents to highlight its value in order to arouse the attention of the society to explore Taiwan's fisheries development.
