1985Also available in:
No results found.The Malaysian Government has received technical assistance through the Besut Integrated Fisheries Development Project. The project had several components. The Tanjung Demong Hatchery and the development of aquaculture in the Besut Fisheries Development Area (FDA) were part of the project. The Tanjung Demong Hatchery conducted demonstration of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, fry propagation, the technique of tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon breeding, and the demonstration on nursing seab ass, Lates calcarifer from one day old fry to 1.5–2 cm fingerlings. The development of aquaculture included the demonstration on the technique of seabass culture in ponds at Fikri, from 8 to 10 cm fingerlingers to marketable fish of 600–700 g, which takes about six months. Demonstration on techniques of seabass and greasy grouper Epinephelus tauvina culture in floating net cages at Setiu Lagoon and Kuala Bharu were also conducted. The fingerlings from 8 to 10 cm took about 7–8 months to raise to marketable size. This year stocking of fingerlings started in February at Setiu Lagoon, in March at Kuala Bharu and in April at the Fikri ponds. This fish both in cages and ponds should reach marketable size in September. On 15 June the seabass ranged from 40 to 160 g and greasy grouper from 60 to 105 g. Trials on tiger prawn fry culture in plastic net cages were also conducted. Average stocking size was 0.463 g in weight and 3.53 cm in length. Within 18 days the average weight was 1.356 g with an average length of 4.76 cm; the average weight gain was 0.893 g. It means that the weight gain was more than double from the date of stocking. Mortality was only 1.2%. -
Technical bookSmall-scale Oyster Culture on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - BOBP/REP/63 1993
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes small-scale oyster culture trials carried out in the states of Kedah and Perak on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Rafts and longlines were found to be economically viable and the technology was transferred to fishermen. Spat of the slipper oyster, Crassostrea iredalei, were transplanted from the east coast of peninsular Malaysia to the west coast sites. Small-scale depuration units were established at farm sites and a series of market promotions successfully un dertaken. Hatchery seed production and remote setting were done by biologists and staff of the Fisheries Research Institute with assistance from temporarily hired field biologists. Artificial spat production was necessary to supplement short supplies of wild spat. Acknowledgement is due to the Director General of Fisheries, Malaysia, Dato Shahrom bin Haji Abdul Majid, for his kind support and permission to publish this paper. Thanks are also due to the Director of Research, Mr. Ong K ah Sin, for his guidance and encouragement, and to Messrs. Ng Fong Oon and Kamal Zaman for their contributions. The trials were undertaken from 1988 till mid-1993 as a BOBP subproject under the regional project “Small- scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/ll8/MUL) funded by DANIDA (Danish International Development Assistance) and SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority). -
