偷運70大閘蟹入境 港婦遭重罰1萬

【明報專訊】一名由香港來溫哥華的華裔女子企圖偷運70隻大閘蟹入境,被法官重罰一萬元,平均每隻大閘蟹罰款約143加元,折合港幣約1050元,而在香港,高級大閘蟹一般每隻售價約250港元,罰款數目相當於香港高級大閘蟹的售價逾4倍。

加拿大邊境服務處(Canada Border Services Agency) 的刑事調查科(Criminal Investigation Division)昨日公布案情稱,列治文居民張金娣(Kam Tei Cheung,譯音)於本月7日在列治文省級法庭承認偷運活淡水大閘蟹(mitten crab)入境,違反加拿大的魚類審查法(Fish Inspection Act)。

案情透露,偷運事件發生在去年12月28日,張女士由香港飛抵溫哥華國際機場時,在申報卡上填報沒有攜帶食物或是活的生物入關。但當時張女士其中一件行李被延誤,未有即時到達,行李在下一班香港飛來的班機才出現。張女士需要為延遲抵達的行李再填寫申報表,但她再次報稱行李內沒有食物,只有衣服,兩次均沒有如實填報攜有大閘蟹入境。

邊境服務處官員檢查後,發現張的行李內藏有兩個木籠的活蟹,總共70隻,張金娣認罪後,法庭判決罰款一萬元。據熟悉香港市況人士表示,香港高級大閘蟹每隻售價約達250港元(折合約34加元),罰款較大閘蟹在香港的售價高出逾4倍。

由於本地禁止大閘蟹進口,本地不少好食大閘蟹的華裔老饕是靠偷運來滿足口腹之慾。曾經有一位住在溫哥華的息影藝人舉行大閘蟹大食會招呼好友,也是偷運大閘蟹入境,類似情況並不罕見。

加國准帶熟蟹入關

海產業人士指出,偷運活海產入境除了面臨法律制裁外,還可能引起生態災難,呼籲大家不要以身試法。

加拿大加西海產同業促進會會長趙德瑞對有人觸犯海產禁令感到「十分心痛及憤怒」。他說,有些新移民不了解問題的嚴重性,例如大閘蟹身上可能有很多寄生物,這些寄生物一旦在加拿大散發,可能引起生態災難,嚴重打擊加拿大水產業,這些行為一定要加以制止。

較早前也有一位越南裔人士因為偷運鮑魚入境而被罰7000元。非法偷運違禁或是瀕危海產入境,最高罰款從10萬元到100萬元不等。

趙德瑞指出,加國目前只能進口煮熟然後再經過雪藏過的大閘蟹,大閘蟹本身的價錢由人民幣15元至500元一斤不等,售價相差這麼大,就是因為品質參差不齊。

oh no...  it's a very very hugh problem & it's not the first time... just a reminder...

u know the "lee yu" fish like 10 to 15 years ago.. too long i can't remember the exact time... people first wanted to smuggle the lee yu here just for eating, but eventually they want to make more $ so to "grow" them in local pond (& somehow the fish managed to escape).. it's a hugh disaster & the Lee YU fish & its bacteria killed lots of local species & took over the eco-system... once they're in the river, you can imagine how hard to get rid of all foreign species (they grows like crazy, 1 fish can produce like thousands eggs)... end up a hugh mess...

Another example is the wild & the grown salmons in BC. The $ our gov't spend on "closing the gate & not letting the grown salmons escape plan" is like more than million $, still, there'r some grown salmons managed to escape, & even they're the exactly identical species (at least a few generation before), they bring the new type of bacterias to the wilde & kill them, & change the wild salmons too. For this is already bad enough, so you can imagine for the crabs (which is soooooo different from the local crab) are going to bring a storm to the local eco-system.

if u still want to eat the famous "Vancouver big meat crab" 20 years later, you gotta protect nature & respect the nature. So the nature will continue nourish human being in a long run... so our kids & grandkids & grand-grand-kids can enjoy what the nature provides us...

by the way, i know it may not taste the same or as good as the "fresh" ones.. the Canadian Custom DO allow 熟然後再經過雪藏過的大閘蟹 to go thru customs, so it's still an option for 老饕. It's not like "ALL not allowed" ma...

we do need to make some sacrifice on the taste. but just think of the consequence it may lead to, then make a smart choice!

So can you take crabs from here to Hong Kong?
