KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) fishery researchers have successfully bred a hybrid grouper that not only matures faster, but is also able to withstand the vagaries of environmental conditions.
More importantly, the first generation of the hybrid of tiger and giant groupers are now able to spawn in captivity, enabling them to be bred on a large scale.
