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.
may be what you dont know about this fish is they really got the market for the rich. You can get it in few fish shops in KL like the one in Sri Petaling. When the shop got the wild empurau stocks, they will let those datuk datuk tan sri tan sri knows and all kena sapu/booked. Even those hong kong people will make trips to malaysia shopping, jalan jalan and makan ikan empurau.but the main problem promoting it as an aquaculture is that it grows 1 inch or less annually

There are some fish shops now start selling breeded empurau at cheaper price but the taste is not as good as the wild empurau. Those rich people will not like the breeded empurau. They can afford to pay the money, so, they not going to settle for a lower quality empurau.
I went to sibu few months ago and we look for the wild empurau high and low also cannot get one for our dinner to treat our customers. The price in Sarawak is lower if compare to those shipped to KL.
