Overview of the period 30/07/2010 - 06/08/2010
A red tide has been sighted in Hong Kong waters over the past few days, an inter-departmental red tide working group reported today (August 6).
A mariculturist at O Pui Tong observed the red tide in the northeastern waters of Hong Kong on August 2. The red tide still persists. No associated death of fish has been reported in the occurrence.
"The red tide was formed by Scrippsiella trochoidea which is common in Hong Kong waters and non-toxic," a spokesman for the working group said.
The AFCD has urged mariculturists at Sha Tau Kok, Ap Chau, Kat O, O Pui Tong and Sai Lau Kong to monitor the situation closely.
Red tide is a natural phenomenon. The AFCD's proactive phytoplankton monitoring programme will continue monitoring red tide occurrences to minimise the impact on the mariculture industry and the public.
