A group of MSc GMRM students went to Tung Lung Chau mariculture demonstration farm on 14 March 2024. 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.
