Reviving the giant featherback (Chitala lopis) in Indonesia
Share
ບົດຄັດຫຍໍ້
In Indonesia, the giant featherback (Chitala lopis) is an economically important freshwater fish. However, this fish has been overfished due to its high demand. For the sustainability of the fishery resource, the Government of Indonesia issued the Decree of MMAF No. 1/2021 declaring this fish species fully protected. Currently, the Research Institute for Inland Fisheries and Extension (RIIFE) with support from the PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional Refinery Unit III Plaju is carrying out experiments on the culture of the giant featherback to revive the population of the giant featherback in the country.
