JOHOR BARU: The state will be restricting the export of five types of fish, especially to Singapore, in view of the coming Chinese New Year celebration.

This was to ensure that there was sufficient supply of cencaru (torpedo scad), selar (yellowtail scad), kembong (short mackerel), pelaling (Indian mackerel) and selayang (round scad) in Johor, said state Johor Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries exco Ismail Mohamed.
