Email feedback to WWF on their Seafood guide

With regards to the WWF Seafood guide. On the 10th April, I wrote an email to WWF (seafood@wwf.com.hk) with some initial comments on the Seafood Guide (click here to access guide )

The contents of the email was as follows:

"

1. I like the guide, I think that this is a key step in the right direction. Consumer education is absolutely key and this is a good start.
   
2. The common names are none standard. I am not familiar with the English names used on this guide. A side guide (maybe online) with photo’s would be helpful. I notice the URL Click HERE has many but not all of the fish listed on the Seafood Guide. Could this be gradually expanded to include all the fish on your guide?
   
3. I am concerned about the wild caught Chilean Seabass being on the Recommended list, for two major reasons:
   
   - Chilean Seabass (also known as the Patagonian Toothfish) is fished (in many areas overfished) using long line fishing. This fishing method continues to be indiscriminate and has considerable side catch, this is resulting in a large decimation of albatross and seabird populations in the South Seas.
   
   - How can we know that the Chilean Seabass available in Hong Kong is from the MSC certified fisheries and not from other non sustainable sources..?
   
   - The Wikipedia entry summarises this adequately Click HERE
   
   
4. It is a bit difficult to know where the fish are sourced when you are eating in a restaurant. Could you add some comments how what people can do in these cases. E.g. some questions that they could ask. If the right questions are asked then maybe restaurants would also start to source from sustainable sources.
   
5. Are there any recommended sources for Shrimps/prawns. This is extremely popular in Hong Kong and a suitable alternative is needed. At the moment this is only in the AVOID category.
   
6. Chinese Oysters are included, however I think that Globally sourced Oysters are also very popular in Hong Kong. Is there any plans to expand the guide to include these as well as other popular seafood ?
   
7. For non Chinese I think a phonetic representation of the Cantonese pronunciation would be very helpful.
