A research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is the first team worldwide to routinely apply “virtopsy”, a pioneer dead body examination technique, on stranded cetaceans to find out their causes of death, health conditions, as well as the anthropogenic impact on their well-being.

To protect the marine ecological environment and facilitate the sustainable development of the marine economy in Hong Kong, a CityU-led marine research team has developed a new aquaculture technique by establishing a floating, indoor weatherproof fish farm with a seawater recirculating system to replace conventional fish rafts.
