The Hong Kong Government has been investing in sustainable and modernized fish farming through the Sustainable Fisheries Development Fund (SFDF) since 2014. With a budget of HKD 500 million, this fund is helping the local fisheries and agriculture industries adapt to new challenges. Recently, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) held a briefing on February 28, 2023 to share its progress with stakeholders.
We are proud to be part of a project that promotes modernized and sustainable mariculture at the demonstration farm, providing hands-on training and lectures to help the local trade develop modernized and sustainable mariculture practices. With previous support from the SFDF, more than 100 participants have completed the training and produced 7,200 kilograms of high-quality fish certified by the Government Accredited Fish Farm Scheme.

香港政府在2014年成立了5億元的「漁業持續發展基金」去協助漁業社群應對新挑戰，推動本地漁業發展與轉型至可持續或高增值的作業模式，提高整個漁業的競爭力。漁農自然護理署最近在2月28日舉辦了「漁業持續發展基金 - 優化簡介及成果分享會」，分享基金推動本地漁業多元化及可持續發展的成果。
其中一個項目是由香港理工大學負責的，獲得基金約680萬元的支持，協助漁民和養殖戶進行海產養殖培訓，提供養殖技術理論及實習課程。在過去兩屆的課程中，已經有超過100名學員完成實習，成功出產約7,200公斤獲「優質養魚場計劃」認證的優質魚。這些魚被命名為「東龍鯛」，成為了一個香港獨有的漁獲品牌。
