| Aquaculture production (2025) 水產養殖產量（2025年） | 2,314 tonnes (679 marine + 1,518 pond + oysters) 2,314 公噸（海魚養殖 679＋塘魚養殖 1,518＋蠔） AFCD 2025 aquaculture production. | 2025 | AFCD: Capture Fisheries Industry of Hong Kong (fleet, fishermen, output) |
| Local fishermen in fishing operations 捕魚作業本地漁民人數 | about 10,120 (2025) 約 10 120 名（2025 年） AFCD, “Capture Fisheries Industry of Hong Kong”: “The industry consists of some 4,980 fishing vessels and about 10,120 local fishermen.” This is a fisheries-only figure, but it counts only people in fishing operations (it excludes fish farmers, Fish Marketing Organisation staff and ancillary trades); it is the following year’s counterpart of the Hong Kong Yearbook 2024 line of about 10,180 local fishermen, not a rival basis, and it must not be added to or subtracted from the yearbook’s combined 17,759 persons directly employed in agriculture and fisheries (see /calibre#farm-fishery-employment). | 2025 | AFCD: Capture Fisheries Industry of Hong Kong (fleet, fishermen, output) |
| Vessels operating in the capture fisheries 捕撈漁業作業漁船數目 | about 4,980 (2025) 約 4 980 艘（2025 年） AFCD, “Capture Fisheries Industry of Hong Kong”: “The industry consists of some 4,980 fishing vessels”, almost all motorised — sampans and smaller non-trawlers (gill netters, long liners, purse seiners) making up about 82% of local vessels and trawlers and larger non-trawlers about 18%. It is the AFCD’s present-tense count of vessels working the fisheries, whereas the Hong Kong Yearbook 2024 records about 6,125 vessels holding fishing vessel licences at the end of 2024 — a licensing count on a year-end date. The two are different official figures and must not be added, subtracted or swapped (see /calibre#fishing-vessel-counts). | 2025 | AFCD: Capture Fisheries Industry of Hong Kong (fleet, fishermen, output) |
