TEMERLOH: The country’s ikan patin (silver catfish) capital here will not be able to live up to its reputation for some time.

The recent floods hit the patin caged fish breeding industry badly, causing an estimated 50% drop in supply, a shortage which breeders said would require them up to six months to recover from.
