Marine fish wholesaling Through the wholesale markets established at strategic locations, the FMO provides fish trading facilities, and fish wholesaling and accounting services to wholesalers and buyers, and charges the fishermen or wholesalers a commission of 7% of the total value of all sales (for fish sold by auction or negotiation) or HK$5 per 15 catties (for fish sold by direct sales) for these services. There is no charge for buyers. In 2005-2006, the FMO wholesaled 44,894 tonnes of marine fish. Major species of fish sold include golden thread, scads, pomfrets, big-eyes, horse heads, sea breams and yellow croakers.
