Presentation
on The Hong Kong Trade In Live Reef Fish For Food
(without attachment)
(ACE
Paper 32/2000)
For information
The captioned report is published by the Trade Record
Analysis of Flora and Fauna In Commerce (TRAFFIC) - an international
wildlife trade monitoring programme of World Wide Fund For Nature
and The World Conservation Union. The study was initiated in response
of the growing concerns world-wide about the sustainability of the
live reef food fish industry. The major recommendation for Hong
Kong is to amend the licensing and classification system for locally
registered fishing vessels and locally registered transport vessels
bringing in live marine fish so as to enable recording of all live
reef food fish imports into Hong Kong.
- The full
report was circulated to Members on 21 June 1999 and the executive
summary is attached to this paper for easy reference.
- Representatives
from TRAFFIC will attend the ACE meeting on 28 August 2000 to
brief Members on the report.
