i think it's kelah.This particular species of the carp family do indeed fetch a high price in market reasoned by it's taste and sport fishing.
but the main problem promoting it as an aquaculture is that it grows 1 inch or less annually
that mean's you got to wait for a long time to harvest fish weighing kgs.except you intend to catch it wild.
it does look good and sell good,but how many consumer readily eat this fish regularly.would you?nah too expensive
i think is like with ikan ketutu but this fish grow in size readily.
but it's expensive and is serve as one of the delicacy among chinese people.
again,chinese people don't consume this fish daily,well only occasionally
.general chinese population prefer saltwater fish over freshwater fish , as it doesn't smell bad.
that's all then.hope this help.

Even if you want to do venture into this business, i think you need to have sustainable flow of Kelah fish.Which I seriously doubt so as it's easier to catch them in the wild than to rear them up to the size you want.
for that, i will have you understand that their number is dwindling down fast.What with people masak ikan bakar right after fishing them.
The days for this fish are numbered given that they took such a long time to grow to the size to feed few adults.think of Koi fish if you like as both of them are carps.koi fish have a poor growth rate.

not only that, what make this empurau special and feel tasty is the food the fish eat. The wild one eat the fruits (cant remember what the fruit name) dropped on the tree along the river band. Understand that the fruit now is also fetching good price to be export.

Those breeded one cannot afford to feed the fruit as the cost will be too high. Hence, the breeded one will lose out in terms of tastiness.

Empurau is a lot of hype, and the price... hence the Chinese name "wang pu liau". After makan, money fly away wink.gif

Seriously our semenanjung Kelah way better taste and texture, also cheaper too (RM300/kg). Oh Kelah is also protected too. Sad cause such a tasty fish. Some one should breed this too!
