Common Seafood Selection Guide (Recommendations, Think Carefully, Avoidance)

本指引將香港市面上的70多種海鮮分為三個類別:
This guide lists more than 70 types of seafood available in Hong Kong into three categories.
このガイドでは、香港で入手できる 70 種類以上の魚介類を 3 つのカテゴリーに分類しています。


建議 RECOMMENDED 提案

這些海鮮來自管理完善的漁業。其捕撈或養殖的方法對環境影響較小,是消費者首選。
Seafood comes from well managed fisheries where seafood is caught or farmed in an ecologically-friendly way - the preferred choice for consumption.
これらの魚介類は、適切に管理された漁業で獲られたものです。漁法や養殖方法によって環境への影響が少ないため、消費者に好まれています。



想清楚 THINK TWICE 明確に考える

這些海鮮來自的漁業存在不利可持續發展的風險。應以「綠色- 建議」類別海鮮為首選,偶爾才食用「黃色- 想清楚」類別的海鮮。
Seafood comes from fisheries that are at risk of becoming unsustainable. Only consume this seafood occasionally. Green "recommended" seafood should be your first choice.
これらの魚介類は、持続不可能な開発のリスクがある漁業から来ています。「緑 - 推奨」カテゴリーの魚介類を第一選択とし、「黄色 - 慎重に検討」カテゴリーの魚介類はたまに食べる程度に留めてください。


避免 AVOID 避ける

這些海鮮來自不可持續發展的漁業。牠們的野生種群遭 過度捕撈,無論捕撈及養殖 的方法都對生態造成嚴重影 響,現階段應避免食用。
Seafood comes from unsustainable fisheries, and is over-exploited, caught or farmed in an ecologicallyunfriendly way. Avoid consuming seafood from this category.
これらの魚介類は持続不可能な漁業によって生産されています。天然個体群は乱獲されており、漁法と養殖方法の両方が生態系に深刻な影響を与えています。現段階では、これらの魚介類を避けるべきです。






✅ Listed as a species of Least Concern (LC) by IUCN 🐟

🐟 This species is considered a high-quality food fish and is often seen on the market, although not in large quantities. It is caught using hand lines and bottom trawls and is targeted by recreational anglers and commercial fisheries. It is also preyed by recreational, artisanal and commercial fisheries in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, with part of the catch exported for sale on the international market. In fact, in many places where it is distributed, it is preyed by commercial fisheries. In southern China, people are breeding it in aquaculture. Due to the wide distribution of this species, stable populations, and strict protection in some areas, it is listed as a species of least concern by the IUCN.

🟡 Listed as a species of Vulnerable (VU) by IUCN 🐟

🐠 This species is considered a high-quality food fish and is often seen on the market, although not in large quantities. It is caught using hand lines and bottom trawls and is targeted by recreational anglers and commercial fisheries. It is also preyed by recreational, artisanal and commercial fisheries in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, with part of the catch exported for sale on the international market. In fact, in many places where it is distributed, it is preyed by commercial fisheries. In southern China, people are breeding it in aquaculture. Due to environmental factors, there may be a relatively high threat of extinction in the medium term of this species, it is classified as vulnerable if it does not meet the critically endangered or endangered criteria, but its wild population faces a high risk of extinction in the future according to the IUCN.


Identifying At-Risk 

Species WWF uses IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species™ and the CITES (Convention on International Trade in EndangeredSpecies of Wild Fauna and Flora) to identify species at global risk of extinction.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is the world’s most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. Species are categorized from greatest extinction risk to least concern. There are a range of quantitative criteria for any given ranking, including Critically Endangered and Endangered; meeting any one of these criteria qualifies a species for a listing at that level of threat. To learn more, visit www.iucnredlist.org.

WWF has not included IUCN ‘Vulnerable’ species on the fact sheets in this guide at this time. While we recognize that these species are also at-risk, and buyers should take care to avoid them when making purchasing decisions, the priority for these materials is to identify those species that are currently at extreme risk. Many vulnerable populations may benefit from conservation programs such as FIPs or other mechanisms to reduce fishing pressure and to halt and reverse declines in viable biomass, and we encourage our partners to work with such at-risk fisheries to move them toward sustainability and away from collapse. If you are concerned that you are purchasing or consuming species that may be vulnerable, please consider working with your local WWF office to identify those at-risk species and develop alternative solutions to sourcing those species.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna, or CITES, is a global agreement between governments to follow rules to monitor, regulate, or ban international trade in species under threat. Species listed under CITES are categorized into three different levels of protection. To learn more, visit www.cites.org, and to search CITES-listed species, visit www.speciesplus.net.

CITES Appendix I includes the world’s most endangered plants and animals. International commercial trade in these species, or products of these species, is banned. CITES Appendix II includes plants and animals that are not yet threatened with extinction but could become threatened if trade were to continue without regulation. International commercial trade in these species, or products of these species, is allowed but subject to restriction.
