The Department of Fisheries has targeted Red Tilapia and Catfish as well as Giant Freshwater Prawn to be farmed throughout Malaysia. In addition to being easy to breed, this species are also relatively stable in the market. However, you can choose to breed other fish such as Silver Catfish, Hoven’s Carp, Mahseer, River Catfish or other high value native fish.
You can contact the State Fisheries Office in your area. Telephone numbers and addresses can be obtained from the website of the Department of Fisheries Malaysia.
