January harvest for Sungai Johor mussel farm

Kelah fears the mussel farm in Sungai Masai will be shut down.

THE new mussel farm at Sungai Johor is expected to produce its first batch of bivalve molluscs in January next year, says Johor Fishermen’s Association (Josfa) chairman Datuk Mohamad Dolmat.

The new farm is part of the Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM) and the Johor Fisheries Department’s effort to increase the production of mussels in the state, he said.
