高雄市茄萣地區的烏魚產業曾經繁榮興盛，興達港一度成為全台最大的捕烏魚基地。早期缺乏科學探測設備的年代，漁民們常常要依靠自身經驗或其他方法尋找魚群，其中比較特別的是茄萣金鑾宮的「烏魚公籤」，這是漁民預測烏魚魚況的重要依據，這一傳統至今已有百年歷史，被視為寶貴的無形文化資產。
烏魚，又稱「烏金」，是台灣沿海地區的重要漁業資源。每年烏魚汛期前，金鑾宮的主委會在廟宇前擲筊請示媽祖，並抽出兩張籤詩，分別為「頭籤」和「尾籤」，以預測冬至前後的烏魚魚況。這些籤詩公開張貼於廟庭，以供漁民參考，給予他們出海捕魚的信心。茄萣雖僅剩少數捕烏船隊，但每年仍有數百艘舢舨和膠筏出海，依然依賴媽祖的指引。
然而，隨著氣候變遷、海洋資源減少等因素，台灣烏魚的捕撈量逐年銳減，許多捕烏船隊相繼解散。茄萣金鑾宮雖仍堅持舉辦烏魚公籤儀式，但這項傳統也受到挑戰。隨著產業的凋零，這些傳統習俗若未妥善保存，將可能逐漸被遺忘。
茄萣金鑾宮的烏魚公籤儀式不僅是對漁民的信仰支持，更見證了地方社會的變遷。隨著烏魚產業的衰落，這項儀式更顯得彌足珍貴。透過保護和宣傳烏魚公籤文化，我們不僅是在保存一項祭儀，更是在守護地方的集體記憶，使未來世代能夠理解並延續這段深具意義的歷史。
