bottom feeder and big fish more mercury as they live longer, eat more little fish with mercury. Eat sharkfin, very high mercury, die faster.

Eat salmon, less mercury, wallet cry... but good

For me, I think saltwater fish have "fishy" (flavors of the ocean) taste while freshwater fish have "muddy" (flavors of the lake/river) taste. When there is an exception, it usually mean those fish moved a lot and freely (big area for moving, move a lot usually are predator fish). Some fish I left out it Cantonese name, Hokkien name & etc.
I hope some of you guys could named it?

As such, I will separate type of local fish that I know of into freshwater & saltwater.
P.S. I do not own any of the photo as below.

Tengalan fish is one of the fish that I never try before and dunno about it Chinese name.

if not mistaken it should be ting ka lan (ding ga lan?) I heard my relatives mention about this river fish before. They stay in Pahang/Perak and always eat river fish buy from orang asli.

no idea what fish it is though, last time always see orang asli selling fish by road side when travel with them, no highway that time.

While it is cheap, demand for Tongsan fish from consumers is "almost non-existent", and it is usually hawker stalls and restaurants that buy this type of fish. In Malaysia, I only heard of two Tongsan fish that was normally served in Chinese restaurant as there is this popular saying in Cantonese, "Soong yu tau, waan yu mei" which mean if you want to eat fish head, then eat Soong Yu (Big Head Carp), if you want to eat the fish tail, then eat Wan Yu (Grass Carp). As such, I only have details about this 2 fish.
P.S I wonder what happen to the Soong Yu Tail and the Wan Yu Head if everyone eat like this?
I eat the ginger steam wan yue all the time, but didnt know that it is a carp.... biggrin.gif
Only know that it is a very bony fish.

no choice, in this industry what they say we have to follow. if they say dont have, then dont have. we aren't gonna be the ones arguing with the board, otherwise we jeopardize our business.

your zoo plankton only applicable to very few types of marine species. siakap , jenahak and those ikan merah tahan lasak types. kerapu, tongkol and others cannot. only use pure cultivated rotifer and artemia. even copipot also we leave out. i know someone who owns a mahi-mahi farm here in malaysia. doing pretty well, and he is only purely on 0.03 micron artemia.

you are partially right but still uninformed. the trend is already moving away from conventional farming of grow-out in sangkar. those are the ones baru nak masuk join in the crowd or yang takde modal. every medium sized player has already moved to partial RAS. low discharge, sludge kek, low maintanence, high efficiency. works well especially for those located at perairan selat melaka. those who export gotta comply with LKIM and their respective jabatan perikanan (moa). since i'm qualified, i was put to certify a few plants and premises and all i see are RAS and CRAS systems. no foreign objects, no foreign modules, no foreign particles, no foreign matter.

the only reason why there was a discussion between us and MPOB is the worries of the discharge flow, industrial waste and the pesticide/ferti that seeps into the soil and slushed away by rainfall into the sea. palm oil plantation and aquafarming dont really work hand in hand. we're more like i hate u, u hate me kind of thing.

but do rest assure, majority are moving or have moved to RAS. its the only way to obtain a higher yield and control diseases and water quality. the protein skimmer, degasser, inducer, ozone and biomedia + UV is enough. conductivity is monitored constantly so i can assure u, there are little or next to no elements of metal. its pretty much a stripped up clean water pretty close to De-ionised water system (cept we retain salinity)

very interesting and informative read...

I dabble in home fish rearing and breeding to feed my bigger fish last time, got few ponds and aquariums... always put those green and blue meds in water change to prevent diesease outbreaks, but didn't know bout the consequences of it. No more now, only small aquarium and sometimes I help maintain my friend saltwater/coral, tropical/aquascaping, ponds and turtle/tortise when he is away.

I read about antibiotics in fishes especially in tilapia and basa (fusually from Vietnam?), and its good to know that dont have this issues with saltwater fish. I try to avoid these fishes if possible. What is your take on these fishes, sometimes eat tilapia at those tai chow restaurants.
