MARINE FISH SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION
A spokesman for the Agriculture and Fisheries Department said
today that the average daily landings of fresh marine fish sold through
the Fish Marketing Organisation are in the region of 3,500 picula.
Ninety-nine per cent of this fresh marine fish is caught by
trawlers, liners, gill netters and purse seiners, operating within a range
of 400 miles of Hong Kong.
The commonest species of marine fish consumed locally are: Golden
Thread, Horse Head, Yellow Croaker, Mud Garoupa, Garoupa, Ginkgo Fish,
Snapper, White Pomfret, Hair Tail, Macao Sole, Head Grunt, Conger Pike,
Red Sea Bream and White Herring.
The spokesman said that the eating of fresh marine fish caught
in those fishing grounds poses no danger whatever to the public health as the waters are un-polluted.
SPEED LIMIT ON CLEAR WATER BAY ROAD
Speed restriction will be imposed on a section of Clear Water Bay
Road in Kwun Tong, starting from Friday (November 16).
A spokesman for the Transport Department said that with effect
from 10 a.m. on that day, vehicles travelling along the section of Clear
Water Bay Road which runs through Tai Po Tsai Village should not exceed the
speed of 30 miles per hour.
Appropriate road signs will be posted to guide moterists.
