A group of MSc GMRM students visited the Fish Marketing Organization (FMO) in Aberdeen on the morning of 31 March 2026. They toured the facilities, learned about FMO’s history and wholesale operations, and were excited to see the diversity of locally landed and imported marine fish.
In the afternoon they went to Tung Lung Chau mariculture demonstration farm. This modern mariculture demonstration farm at the Tung Lung Chau Fish Culture Zone is established by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). It aims to guide the local mariculture industry move towards modern and sustainable operations so that the trade can enhance its overall competitiveness.
Students were able to walk on the fish raft and explore its modernized technology and management, such as a real-time surveillance system, a real-time water quality monitoring system, an automated feeding system and a solar and wind power generation system. Through communicating with the representatives of AFCD, students had a deeper understanding about sustainable or high-value-added fishing operations, the materials used for building the mariculture demonstration farm, and the overall structure of the demonstration farm.
