Before the establishment of Asian aquatic products, we are just a group of pragmatic businessmen who import live marine fish. In the 1990s, we had our own fleet and fishery row, in the Asia-Pacific waters transported to Hong Kong, for short-term feeding and then sold. During this period, we observed:
In this case,
The ecology of nature has been severely damaged - uncontrolled and unregulated fishing, especially by trawling and explosives, destroys the habitat of fish in the seabed. Excessive fishing, so that the marine resources are overloaded, large fish species and therefore a substantial reduction in the destruction of the natural ecology.
Red tides are frequent - most of the Hong Kong fishing grounds are located in the inner-bay area where the water flow is slow. If the fish density is too high, the fish's excreta and food residues will be deposited on the seabed of the area and become the most abundant algae and microorganisms in the sea. The need for nutrients, will promote its large population, such as the formation of a red tide and other vicious circle, destruction of the area and the adjacent sea area of ​​marine ecology.
The demand for live marine fish in Hong Kong is about 25,000 tonnes per annum, while domestic demand is well above this level and is growing rapidly. Due to overfishing and water pollution, the supply of wild marine fish in China, overseas and Hong Kong is declining.
Fish prices are rising. Hong Kong is mainly dependent on the air and shipping the live marine fish population. The price of fish is high and the price of fish is rising.
Increased risk of eating seafood - More and more fish contaminated by toxicants, such as:
- ciguatera poison
- Heavy metals (eg mercury)
- Organic contaminants (eg decontamination chemicals)
