      Yongan District is famous for its aquaculture, producing nearly a quarter of Taiwan's farmed grouper. Yongan's milkfish farms occupy approximately 400 hectares, a greater land mass than that of grouper farms. Neighboring Mito District and Yongan have come together as Kaohsiung's largest milkfish supplier.
