Today's seminar, held at the Tai Po Wholesale Fish Market, is the last in a series of talks organised by AFD for fishermen. It is aimed at reminding them to fish with lawful and environmentally friendly methods.
The previous seminars, held between September last year and earlier this month for fish folk at Aberdeen, Cheung Chau and Sha Tau Kok, were well received.

Company appointed to handle Speedpost items in France
The Post Office has appointed Jet Services Courier S.A. to undertake customs clearance and delivery of Speedpost items in France from February 6.
The Postmaster General, Mr Mike Pagliari, said the appointment was necessary following a decision by the postal administration of France to withdraw from the international postal EMS network (known as Speedpost in Hong Kong) and to terminate its existing obligations to other postal administrations to deliver EMS items within its territories at a later date.
The company was recommended by the Universal Postal Union after a rigorous selection process.
"Its service has been carefully tested by the Hong Kong Post Office and found to be both satisfactory and reliable.
"The Post Office is confident that this company will be able to maintain the high standard of service currently provided to Speedpost items destined for France," he said.
