In order to enhance the quality of fish tank water at source and throughout the whole supply chain, the Health, Welfare and Food Bureau (HWFB) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has initiated a voluntary Quality Seawater Assurance Scheme (QSAS) for seawater suppliers and seafood traders in Hong Kong to encourage self-regulation of the trade. HWFB has appointed the Hong Kong Productivity Council as the independent Accrediting Body to develop and implement the scheme.

The objective of the QSAS is to enhance the quality of supplied seawater so as to minimize the risk of contamination of seafood. It also assists seafood traders to have better control of the quality of fish tank water for compliance with the prescribed legal standards.

The Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market, Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Fish Market and Kwun Tong Wholesale Fish Market under Fish Marketing Organization are qualified as "Quality Seawater Logo Holder" under the above scheme. This ensure the seawater provided by these three markets are disinfected and safety for use by seafood merchants or transporters.

For enquires on the sales of quality assured seawater by FMO, please contact Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market on telephone no. 2552 0071 or Cheung Sha Wan Wholesale Fish Market on telephone no. 2307 8623 or Kwun Tong Wholesale Fish Market on telephone no. 2775 4659.
