摘要

近年來珠江口的工業化和香港的城市建設，已對香港沿海環境構成了很大的負擔。由於持續的城市污水排放、海沙的挖掘、海泥的傾瀉，以及填海造地，海洋的污染會逐漸的加劇。海洋環境評估是需要一個健全的海洋生物多樣性的資料庫，藉此可分析環境的惡化及其對生物相所造成的影響程度。然而，在香港海域居然沒有一個最基本的魚類相資料，所以無從對各種基礎建設中，對海洋污染影響，做出一個有效的評估。因此，在設立香港海域的保育政策，魚類相資料庫的建立是一個迫不及待的重要環節。這篇報告，是首次對香港海域魚類相做出一個全面的報導，我們根據歷年來所做的魚類調查，整理了過去發表和未發表的文獻和工作報告，列出了香港水域有834個魚種，屬於25門，124科和390屬。其中97個魚種是新紀錄。

Rapid industrialization and large-scale infrastructural projects in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta in recent years have placed an extraordinarily heavy burden on coastal environments. The magnitude of the problem will increase as sewage discharge, ocean dredging/disposal, and land reclamation continue to expand in the next few years. Fundamentals of marine environmental impact assessment are based upon a good understanding of biodiversity that allow us to monitor environmental changes. However, there is no baseline data on marine fauna that allow evaluation of the damage from various large-scale infrastructural projects to aquatic environments. A comprehensive database on local fish fauna is, therefore, urgently necessary for the planning and implementation of conservation strategies in Hong Kong. This paper is the 1st systematic report on marine fish fauna in Hong Kong waters. From years of opportunistic fishing surveys and a thorough literature review, a total of 25 orders, 124 families, 390 genera, and 834 fish species in Hong Kong waters were identified. There are 97 fish species listed herein as new records to the area.
