However, as mud and sand gradually silt up, its riverbed became shallow and only sampans can access during the tides. Vessels of Tamsui No. 1 Fishing Port are mostly engaged in inshore fisheries including pole and lines boots and long line.

Most of the vessels travel within a day and work 5 nautical miles away from the coast. Their catches are mostly mullets and eel larvae, crabs, larval fishes and Spanish mackerels.
