Technical support

Assistance on fish culture techniques and related management problems encountered by farmers are provided upon request. Detailed investigations are carried out and technical advice on appropriate measures to overcome or minimize the problem are provided to fish farmers. 

 

Fish disease has been a difficult problem encountered by fish farmers. In Hong Kong , fish disease outbreaks are mainly caused by pathogenic bacteria or parasitic protozoa as well as problems related to water quality and husbandry practice of the fish farms. To help address this problem, we have implemented the Fish Health Inspection Programmed under which regular visits are conducted to fish farms to facilitate early detection of disease outbreaks and to advise fish farmers on good husbandry techniques and disease prevention measures. We also provide assistance in disease diagnosis and advice on appropriate treatment measures upon request.


Initiatives are also taken to introduce and promote improved culture techniques and good management practices to fish farmers through farm visits on a regular basis, technical seminars and on-farm demonstrations. Information on fish farming management and environmental hygiene is also disseminated through advisory leaflets and guidelines.
