A study by Prof. James Kar-Hei Fang, Associate Professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, together with Dr Elizaldy Acebu Maboloc, Research Fellow in Prof. Fang’s team, has recently been published in Science titled “Seafood biosecurity gaps threaten biodiversity”. Their research underscores how invasive species transported through the global seafood trade present a serious threat to biodiversity, as evidenced by documented cases in Hong Kong and other regions. Healthy oceans are essential for global sustainable food systems. Protecting biodiversity through stronger biosecurity measures safeguards fisheries, aquaculture, and long term food security.
