Whopper of a fish
Giant groupers, or their scientific name Epinephelus Lanceolatus, are bred to produce male seed at the Fisheries Research Institute in Tanjong Demong in Besut. The seeding and farming of these hybrid fish has brought a new source of income for the residents of Pantai Air Tawar Besut after receiving support from the Government. The hybrid grouper not only grows faster and is more resistant to diseases, but matures faster, with less defects, is more easily bred and commands a higher market price.
