Sustainable Seafood Farming Emphasized

Consumers in Hong Kong are increasingly seeking healthier food options, with a shift away from fatty cuts of meat. A local HKORC certification for organic aquaculture was also noted, alongside the international 'Friend of the Sea' label. Labels like MSC focus on sustainable fishing, while BAP and RCE certifications address responsible aquaculture. The FOS label from the Marine Conservation Society covers various seafood types, including wild-caught and farmed, provided they meet sustainability principles. Additionally, the international Friend of the Sea (FOS) label is available for products meeting basic sustainability principles, including those with a bottle-shaped appearance or wild-caught fish. Several labels for sustainable seafood are available to consumers. The international organization Friends of the Ocean (FOS) offers a label that covers various aspects, such as water bottles or wild fish. There are different labels for seafood, including BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) for responsible aquaculture and RCE for organic aquaculture. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department's 'FOS' label encompasses various sustainable principles, including those for wild-caught seafood and farmed fish. The source also considered the origin of the seafood and its ingredients, as well as potential damage to health during the farming process. Consumers can eat sustainably farmed seafood, ensuring its availability for future generations. The goal is to ensure long-term availability of seafood.
