This thesis aims to explore the transfer pricing behaviors in Taiwan's aquatic product market, from the fish fry, the feed, aquaculture and aquatic product processing, to the market supply. We think the ice glazing and additive efficiency rates can be seen as key factors in the transfer pricing behaviors of aquatic product processing plants, and that the main profit earners are feed suppliers and wholesalers/hypermarkets. Therefore, after taking the factors of economy, temperature, season, and exchange rate into consideration, this research finds, from the results of the regression analysis, that transfer pricing behaviors indeed exist in the market of processed aquatic products, including tilapia, milkfish, and whiteleg shrimp.
