Red tide sighted A red tide was sighted in Hong Kong waters a few days ago, an inter-departmental red tide working group reported today (December 31). The occurrence was observed in Tai Tam Bay on December 27 but it dissipated the following day. "The red tide was formed by Prorocentrum dentatum. The species is common in Hong Kong and is non-toxic," a spokesman for the working group said. Red tide is a natural phenomenon. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department's proactive phytoplankton monitoring programme will continue monitoring red tide occurrences to minimise the impact on the mariculture industry and the public.
