Remarks | Caught using hooks and lines. Majority of the specimens sampled were sexually mature. To determine the species diversity and composition of local reef fishes being marketed, a 12-month survey was conducted. From June 2002 to May 2003, a total of 54 visits were paid to the Ap Lei Chau government market. Information on the capture location and fishing gear used was obtained through interviews with shop owners and fishermen. Only fishes that are alive or just dead were sampled. |
