Here in Asia we have some of the richest, most diverse and productive fisheries in the world. But our seafood resources are declining fast due to excessive and destructive fishing practices, pollution and development. The High Finner Grouper is under particular threat and if wild caught from South Eat Asia it should not be eaten. 📸 : SCMP

Current global tuna fishing levels are unsustainable without proper management. Diners may love to feast on tuna served in everything from sashimi and sushi to sandwiches. But the current rate we are fishing tuna from the sea may mean there may comes a time in the future when there won’t be any tuna available—unless fisheries and fish stocks are properly managed.

Live reef food fish (LRFF) are a staple of every Hong Kong family's dinner table. Whether in daily meals or celebration banquets, fish is a key source of protein, and for many consumers, a sign of a wholesome meal. On average, each person consumes 65.5 kg of seafood every year, placing Hong Kong as the 2nd largest per capita consumer of seafood in Asia, and 8th largest in the world.

Many consumers rely on labels to know what species of fish they are buying. However, these labels may not always be accurate, or provide enough information. While markets and supermarkets must take responsibility for the accurate labelling of the fish they sell, consumers can also enhance their knowledge and ability to recognise different species of #LRFF.

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the ocean. As the most diverse marine ecosystem, reefs are home to thousands of plant and animal species that provide endless income for fishing, tourism and pharmaceutical industries. They also protect coastal land from erosion and damage associated with storms. But much like rainforests, coral reefs are in danger due to climate change.
