financial return. Using costs and prices as at November, 1978, the following results are obtained: Income Shrimps $HK41,700 Crabs 4,500 Freshwater fish 25,250 Marine fish 24,750 Total income 96,200 (NB. Because of concern over popullation by heavy metals, oys- ters from the region of Hau Hoi Wan were almost unsaleable at this time). Expenses Rent (per annum) Fish harvests $HK11,000 Fisherman Ice Transportation 1,800 Other, including fuel Total expenses 13,790 Gross profit $82,410 At this time the exchange rate was HK$4.80 = US$1, and the Hang Seng Consumer Price Index for December 1978 was 126 for all items, and 122 for foodstuffs; the baseline of 100 referred to July 1973 to June 1974 (Anon, 1979). Thus, operation of a single kei wai yielded a gross income of about $6,800 per month which appeared to be a satisfactory in- come. However, our year of study was likely to show an unusually high income because it was the last year of the current 7-yearlease whereas returns related to the current period. We were informed that the rental would be raised to about $31,000, which would make operation of the kei wai a much less rewarding occupation.
