近幾年食品安全問題不斷出現，許多學者紛紛探討食品供應鏈在管理方面所面臨的問題，而食品供應鏈涉及到一連串相關的業者因此在管理上相當困難且難以去追究責任及問題來源。如何增加整個食品供應鏈的可追溯性及透明性，確保供應鏈資訊的完整性，以提供消費者食品來源的有利證據對於食品業者至關重要。現階段已經有不少學者針對食品供應鏈的問題提出了可追溯系統的建構作為解決方案，為此政府也推動了產銷履歷等政策，希望能減少食安問題的影響。然而，紙本紀錄及資料庫中的數據仍存在著竄改的疑慮，資訊不對稱的問題也很容易導致供應鏈夥伴彼此不信任的產生。
區塊鏈技術的發展及應用對於解決食品供應鏈問題引起了不少關注，區塊鏈的加密技術可防止資料受到竄改提升資訊的可靠性，解決消費者對於食品來源真實性的疑慮，結合供應鏈管理，能提供供應鏈夥伴間的溝通管道解決資訊不對稱所導致的問題。
本研究以水產養殖為例，設計一個基於區塊鏈技術之管理平台架構，並以此架構進行系統雛型開發，透過此系統協助水產養殖業者進行更有效的管理，同時以此系統雛型作為後續區塊鏈管理平台開發之參考依據。

In recent years, food safety issues have emerged in endlessly. Many researches discuss the food supply issues from the perspective of management. For the reason that food supply chains involve a range of related industries, the difficulty of source tracing and accountability become complicate. Increasing the traceability and transparency of the entire food supply chain and ensuring the integrity of the information to provide good evidence of food sources are two of the key elements.

Focusing on these elements, several traceability systems are developed. However, there are still some concerns of tampering with records and databases. In addition, information asymmetry causes partners within supply chain mistrust each other. To solve these problems, some researches have proposed that Blockchain can prevent data from being tampered, improve the reliability of the information, solve the concerns of the authenticity of food sources, and reduce the information asymmetry.

This study demonstrates a Blockchain-based management platform structure prototype implemented in an Aquaculture Industry as an example. Through this system, the efficiency of aquaculture production management can be significantly improved.
