Cross-habitat Study Between Mangroves and Coral Reef

This study was carried out to determine the existence of some fish species in the mangrove and coral reef ecosystems. This is important in the conservation of both habitats as it can show the importance of both habitats in phases of fish growth. The destruction of one habitat may destroy the species grow out area and this will effect fish production in the area.
The project is sponsored by IRPA grant (mangrove ecosystem) and Special Marine Park Grant (Coral reefs).
Assessment of Current Terubok Resources in Selangor Waters

Terubok, one of the important tropical fish of the family CLUPEIDAE is anadromous in nature, lives and grows in the sea for most of its life, but migrates into some river system for breeding purposes. In the seas, the distribution of this species extends from bay of Bengal to Java Sea and South China Sea. Terubok is very vulnerable to gillnet fishermen operating in those areas when it ascends rivers to spawn.
The existence of Terubok is highly threatened. The seriousness of the continued decline of this species has been recognised by the DoF. This project deals with the collection of data on the species composition and catches. The species, called estuarine Terubok (Hilsa toli), is also known as the big-mouthed Hilsa. The objective of the project is to study the biology of the species and to assess the status of the stocks using existing and new data.

Oilseed protein such as soybean meal has been used with varying degrees of success as a replacement for fishmeal in diets for many species. Freshwater fish such as blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus as well as marine finfish such as seabass Lates calcarifer were reported to accept some degrees of soybean meal sustitution. One of the oilseed protein sources available in large quantities in Malaysia is palm kernel cake (PKC). As such, PKC could have the potential to be incorporated in aquaculture diet similarly.
