Hill Trout of Hong Kong | 香港的長鰭馬口魚 | cf. HD
| 香港的長鰭馬口魚 | . Tucked beyond the concrete jungle of Hong Kong, lies a unique and threatened predator - The Longfin Banded Hill Trout. Submerge with us, as we take you on a short journey to understand the life, struggles and threats of this increasingly imperiled species. Though not true trout, the Longfin Banded Hill Trout share similar characteristics and appearance with their Salmoniformes friends. Although not listed as a species of conservation concern, Hill Trout are increasingly threatened from development, pollution and poaching for the local aquarium trade. We hope this short film may help educate viewers so they may think twice before purchasing wild caught individuals. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 長鰭馬口魚並不是真正的鱒魚,但牠擁有與鮭科魚類相似的外貌和特徵。雖然牠並沒有被列為具保育價值的物種,牠的生存卻逐漸受到發展、污染和因水族買賣而被非法捕捉所威脅。我們希望這段短片能喚醒各位觀眾,在購買從野外捕捉的動物前能三思。 Chinese translation by: Carrie Cheung & Maggie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FB: http://facebook.com/thefreshwatercollective IG: http://instagram.com/freshwatercollective Photography IG: http://instagram.com/scaly_scientist/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This film uses these sounds from freesound: Dragonfly.wav ( http://freesound.org/people/antoineopeng/ ) Crunchy Footsteps ( http://freesound.org/people/Idalize/ ) Biting your nails or picking at them (http://freesound.org/people/saggaextreme) Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Colin Chiu, Gyung Joo Kim, Tse Chung Yi and Tommy Hui for their advice and help in the field.
