Introduction The Fish Marketing Organization (FMO) is a self-financing, non-profit making concern established by authority of the Marine Fish (Marketing) Ordinance, Chapter 291. The FMO currently operates seven wholesale fish markets located at Aberdeen, Shau Kei Wan, Kwun Tong, Cheung Sha Wan, Castle Peak, Tai Po and Sai Kung to provide efficient and orderly wholesale marketing for the fishermen, fish wholesalers and buyers. The office of the FMO is currently held by the Director of Marketing (also the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation), but the FMO remains separated from the civil service. The FMO is also advised by a statutory Fish Marketing Advisory Board. As at 31 March 2006, the organization employed 93 regular staff and 88 casual workers.
