JAPANESE SEEKING TO DESTROY H.K. FISH INDUSTRY
SUGGESTION IN
REPORT
That the Japanese are seeking to destroy the Chinese fishing in- dustry in southern waters is sug- gested in a report on the Hong- kong fishing industry tabled at the Legislative Counell yesterday,
Prof. O, A C. Herklots points out that since the outbreak of the war up to September 25 last year, Japanese warships and trawlers had destroyed no less than 764 Chinese fishing junks registered in Hongkong. These figures have been supplied by the Hongkong Chinese Fishermen's Gulld.
The effect of the Sino-Japanese war on the Hongkong, fishing in- dustry has been serious in three respects: (a) destruction of junks, and in consequence (b) a restric- tion of fishing to territorial waters, and therefore (c) a diminution of the field of fish

The obvious response Chinese fisherfolk to this persecu- tion is to restrict their activities to "territorial waters where they are protected by British haval ships.
LESS FISH"
The effect on local fish supplies has been marked: Not only are the territorial waters of Hongkor.g limited in extent, but they are shallow waters and only contain certain species of fish, and a limit- ed number of individuals of these species.
It has been estimated that the maximum possible daily catch in Hongkong waters is about 500 p'culs from April to July, and about 300 plculs from August to March.
Hongkong is thus suffering com- paratively speaking from À fish shortage.
PRICE INCREASED As for the effect of the Sing Japanese war, and particularly of the Japanese actions agairist local fishing craft on Hongkong." fish prices, investigation shows that since the cutbreak of hostiles there has been an increase of from ten to 20 per cent.
The outbreak of the European war may have been responsible for further increases.
At the present time. says the re- port; local fishermen are suffering great hardships.
There is only one method by which the supply of fish could be increased and the price lowered: that is by making the seas safe.
