Fish Culture Zone Description
Lo Fu Wat (LFW) Fish Culture Zone is located at the outer part of Tolo Harbour near Tolo Channel. It is different from the other three fish culture zones in Tolo Harbour because it has a stronger tidal current and flushing. Lo Fu Wat used to have pearl culture farms in the 60s. However, the farms have been removed in the 80s probably due to pollution problems.
