The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Marine

Fish (Marketing) Ordinance by increasing the maximum fine

that may be prescribed for offences against the Ordinance,

the regulations and the By-laws of the Fish Marketing Organisation, and to remove the offence of buying fish

wholesale other than at a wholesale fish market.

The Marine Fish (Marketing) Ordinance is intended

mainly to promote the orderly landing and wholesale

marketing of marine fish. To this end, the Ordinance

prohibits the wholesale of marine fish other than at a

market, and the landing of marine fish other than at a

place specified in the regulations unless a permit to do

so has been obtained.
