SENIOR FISHERIES RESEARCH OFFICER, DR RUDOLF WU, SAID TODAY (FRIDAY) THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL TOLERANGE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMMON CULTURED SPECIES IN RELATION TO THE VARYING HYDROGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS OF THE LOCAL FISH CULTURE ZONES, AND ON THE CAUSES OF FISH KILLS AND WAYS TO MINIMISE MORTALITY.
IN ADDITION, HE SAID, A NEW METHOD OF NETCAGE CONSTRUCTION HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR BETTER CULTURE PRACTICES.
+THESE NEW TECHNIQUES ARE BELIEVED TO BE ABLE TO RAISE THE MARI CULTURE PRODUCTIVITY CONSIDERABLY AND INCREASED FISH YIELDS WILL BENEFIT CONSUMERS,+ DR WU SAID.
NOTE TO EDITORS:
THE SEMINAR WILL BE PRECEDED BY A PRESS BRIEFING AND DEMONSTRATION AT THE CONFERENCE ROOM OF THE ABERDEEN FISHERIES RESEARCH STATION AT 2 PM, CONDUCTED BY DR WU AND RESEARCH OFFICERS, DR PATSY WONG AND DR PAUL MAK.
