A large number of manta rays appear in Lam Tsuen River, causing residents to worry about hunting

A large number of manta rays appeared in the Kai Lam Tsuen River opposite the Social Enterprise Hall on Tung Cheong Street, Tai Po yesterday. Some fishermen caught and cut off the tails of the fish to share with others, and some people used a boat to catch six with harpoons. Neighbors criticized the killing as unscrupulous, saying it was heartbreaking that manta rays are rarely killed because they "swim in by mistake". Ichthyological Society Chong Diwa pointed out that manta rays are common in the brackish waters of the Pearl River Estuary. The recent appearance of manta rays may be due to heavy rains that increase water flow, improve water quality, and end the fishing moratorium, which may affect fish activities. He believes that the appearance represents an increase in habitat individuals, which is a good thing. However, the public is reminded not to feed or catch with bare hands, because some stingrays have venomous stingers on their tails.
