Hong Kong fish farmer plans to spend rest of his life on floating farm despite industry’s decline
Chan Ping-yau has been a fish farmer for more than 35 years and currently owns one of Hong Kong’s biggest fish farms, a floating complex that covers some 10,000 square metres (108,000 sq ft). Over the decades, the farm has faced many challenges including severe typhoons. But the 2020 coronavirus pandemic is proving to be a major blow for an industry already in serious decline.
