Fish stocks in hong kong waters are heavily depleted as a result of unsustainable fishing practices in particular trawling , reclamation , dredging and pollution 邵在德又指：不符合可持续原则的捕鱼方法尤指底拖网捕鱼填海挖泥及污染等都是导致本港水域的渔业资源遽减的原因。
An estimated 100 , 000 albatrosses die annually in the longline fishing industry , but recent research has highlighted that large numbers of albatrosses are also dying in trawl fisheries 每年估计有10万信天翁死于长线捕鱼工业，但是最近的研究强调，很大数量信天翁同样死于拖网捕鱼。
Trawling is one of the most destructive fishing methods , since it not only kills fish indiscriminately but also destroys the seabed habitat that nurtures the fish in the first place 拖网捕鱼是破坏力极强的捕鱼方式，不仅将所有鱼类一网打尽，更摧毁鱼类赖以繁殖和生长的海床生境。
For ever , by banning a common but highly destructive fishing method bottom trawling , and creating marine sanctuaries encompassing important spawning and nursery grounds 透过禁止一种在本港常见，但破坏力惊人的捕鱼方式底拖网捕鱼，以及辟立范围覆盖重要的鱼类产卵和育苗场的海岸保护区，保护
Fpas : all trawling banned , fishing only under special license issued to bona fide fishermen habitually fishing in the waters of the fpas . no - take zones : all fishing activities prohibited 渔业保护区指禁止于区内拖网捕鱼，只有获得豁免的渔民可于该区进行钓鱼活动禁捕区指禁止区内一切捕鱼活动。
Bottom trawling is extremely destructive to sea - bed communities including sea - fans , and soft corals , and is indiscriminate about what it catches , so the banning of bottom trawling is a positive step 鉴于底拖网捕鱼不仅严重破坏海床的生物群落，如海扇和软珊瑚群落等，更会把所经之处的鱼类一网打尽，禁止底拖网捕鱼实为正面之举。
