No direct loss of fishponds will be resulted from the Project as they are all located at least 50 m away from the Project Site boundary (the active fishpond is located about 340 m away from the Project Site boundary). Although some of the abandoned fish ponds were located downstream to Work Areas I and II, however, water from Shenzhen River will not intrude into any ponds and therefore, no negative impact to the condition of the abandoned ponds is expected.

Potential impacts to the pond fish culture within the Study Area are evaluated based on the Criteria for Evaluation Fisheries Impact according to Annex 9 of the EIAO-TM and are presented in the table below.
