1. INTRODUCTION.

Several significant developments were realized during

the yearo In the ~ield 6f aquaculture, these include the success , in the breeding of the ikan siakap in captivity in the Department

of Fisheries, Coastal ~infish/Prawn Hatchery in Tanjung Demong,

Terengganu, where the Institute has a research component, and the

completion of the cockle project supported by the Bay of Bengal

Fisheries Proqramme. In fisheries resource assessment, surveys

were carried out by the Institute's research vessels (K.K.MERSUJI

and KoKoPELELING) while a survey of the fish stocks within the

Malaysian Exclusive Economic Zone was commenced in December 1985

using the FAO vessel R.V. RASTRELLIGER. In aquatic ecology and

pollution studies, existing artificial reefs were considerably

expanded, and under a UNEP Regional Seas Programme, 12 oil

dispersants were screened for their toxicity against fish.

In 1985, the cost of running the Institute, together with

its branches in Gelang Patah, Johor; Pulau Kambing, Terengganu and

Batu Berendam, Melaka amounted to $4,019,479.00. Development

expenditure for the year was $2,792,783.000

Both the operating and development allocations .for the

year were adequate and these enabled the various research projects

to be implemented very smoothly.

1.3 0 Research Facilities.

The research vessels, K. K. "fJ!ERSUJIfI, K. K. "PSLALING" ,

K.K. "KF.RIIPU" and K.K. "JENl',HI',K" were based in Glugor, penang while

the vessel K.K. "1l·YA" was based in Pulml Kambing, Terengganu. The

vessels were sufficiently equipped to carry out the research and

field operations relating to fisheries resource assessment, aquaculture,

artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution.

While shore-hased facilities were generallv adequate, t

the Penang Bridge and coastal road proje~t temporarily affected the

supply of sea water to the research hatchery at Glugor. On the other

hand the c()mpletion of large circular spawning tanks in the Tanjuhg

Demong Hatchery in Terengganu enabled the successful spawning bf the

giant sea perch to be achieved for the first time in ~alaysiao

3.10 AQUI\CULTURS SECTION

A. }\1ariculture Unit (Glugor)

3.1.1. Penaeid spa\~ing and propagation.

Seawater pumped in from the temporary intake was found

to be not suitable for the spawning of gravid females of

Penaeus monodon and Penaeus merguiensis as well as for the

hatching of the eggs, although suitable for their larviculture

and all other hatchery activities. Experiments were carried

o~~~~1ng the disodium salt of EDTA (5 ppm) to add to the sea­

water before use, and it was found that with this treatment,

" the' seawater was rendered suitable also for penaeid spawning

and egg hatching. As it was not necessary to add the EDTA to

the seawater taken from the end of the Marine Police Jetty

(near the site of the new pumphouse), it was likely that

the seawater taken from the temporary pump intake was con~a-

minated by the landfill in the vicinity being carried out by t

the Penanq Bridge Project.

Penaeid postlarvae produced as a by-product of the

experiments amounted to 1 0 6 million, out of which 782,000

were P. merguiensis and 830,000 P. monodono The postlarvae - -- -

were mostly supplied to the Brackishwater Station at Gelang

Patah for experimental pond culture while a small amount

(1,000 £. monodon) was supplied to the Universiti Sains

Malaysia.

During the year, the project team also conducted 3

training courses on shrimp hatchery techniques, as arranged

by the Pxtension Branch of the Department of Fisheries.

3.102. Propaqation of ikan siakap, L~tes calcarifer

Several trips were made to catch wild spawners of

Lates calcarifer from the coastal waters of penang, part i-

cularly off Teluk Air Tawar. However, only 2 trips were

successful in collecting both mature male and female fish,

and only the first of these 2 trips yielded viable eggs.

Of some 2 million f~rtilized eggs obtained from this trip,

80,000 hatchlings were obtained, from which approximatelY

20,000 were raised to stock6ble fry stage for various

experiments, including the development of suitable pellets

for raising fry to fingerling stage.

Page 14: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

- C) -

A pellet feed based on the following composition

was prepared for feeding Lates fry of 3.0 - 3.5 cm in size:

(g/100g) (%)

Fish flesh 5704 49.7

Beef liver 20.0 17.3

Brewer's yeast 2,,4 2. -:1

l'lheat flour 3.3. 2.8

Rice bran 4.3 3.7

lllgenin 12.6 10.9

Vitamin mix 3.5

Cod liver oil 9.8

The pellets were prepared in a size range of 3 - 5 mm

and found to be quite easily accepted by the Lates fry. Further

work is in progre·ss to improve the feed for raising the fry

to fingerling stage.

While the collection of wild spawners during the yectr

did not yield as many spawners as expected, the artificial

propagation of Lates under controlled hatchery conditions

was achieved during the later part of the year, at the

nepartment's l'-1ari:1e Pinfish/Shrimp Hatchery situated in

Tanjung Demong, Terengqanuo l~Tith this, there will be an ample

supply of fertilized egqs and hatchlings of Lates for future

hatchery and nursery operations.

3 0 1.3. Culture of live food organisms.

Nitzchia SPa was isolated by the agar-plating technique

from the seawater supply to the hatchery and cultured using

the F/2 medium. Routine culture of various species, including

Chlorella virginica, Tetraselmis chui, Chaetoceros calcitrans,

mixed species of diatoms and also Branchionus plicatilis,

were carried out for hatchery useo

Artemia culture for preadult biomass was carried out in

2 ton rectangular FRP tanks at a density of 2,500 nauplii/

litre in mixed diatom water and fed with baker's yeast rangincr

from 14 - 20 gm per duy, while some others were cultured in

green water and fed with baker's yeast ranging from 12 - 70

qm per dayo The Artemia cultured in green water and fed with

baker's yeast gave the bes~ harvest of 725 gm of biomass after

14 days of culture.

3.1040 Culture and restocking of Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Experiments were carried out mainly to develop a

recirculation system for the larviculture of udang galah,

and also to improve on the clear water larviculture technique.

Incorporation of a heater to the recirculation system to Htain-

tain optimum rearing temperatures considerably shortened the

production cycle, althou9h no Great improvement in survival

rate was noticedo Intensive scale larviculture experiments

using 0.5 ton FRP tanks gave survival rates of up to 4~t,

with a production rate of 38 juveniles/litre after a culture

period of 29 days. The larvae were fed with the minced flesh

of the bivalve, Elizi.~' orbiculata . ( 'lala' ) •

Juveniles of Macrobrachium rosenbergii produced as a

by product of the experiments during the year amounted to

570,0000 These juveniles were used for several purposes,

including broodstock development at the Jitra Fresqwater

Fish Breeding Station, experimental pond culture at the

Preshw0ter Research Station at Batu Berendam, pond culture

trials in fish farmer~' pond~ tinct also for the restocking

of Sungai Perai which wns later found to give favourable

returns, judoinq by the catches of the pra~~ fishermen in

the river Q II/hile several pond culture trials it' the past

have yielded very positive results, this was the first time

that udang galah juveniles have been used for the restocking

of a public water bodyo Tn view of the favourable results

obtained from this restocking which was first launshed in

1984~ an expanded restocking programme will be carried out

in futureo

3 0 105 0 Biology and culture of the cockle C!\nadara granosa)

Sxtensive field studies \..;ere carried out in several

localities to determine systematically the growth and servival

of the cockle under different environmental conditions o

During the year, the project also received assistance from the

Bay of Bengal Fisheries Proqramm~, under which short-term

foreign conSUltants also aided in the actual implementation

of the projecto

Length-freauency measurements of the cockle from the

various localities sampled were analysed using the ELEFAN

(I & II) programmes and the Whetheral ~~. methodo The

yield results indicate that maximum harvests would be obtained

within one year of culture, regar~less of the differences

in growth rate seen from one locality to anothero

~Jith regard to cockle l'lmturation, it was found that

the smallest cockle in whjch gonad development could be iden-

tified was 16 mT\'l jn size in the Perak region, and 18 mm in

size in the Penang region. Based on the growth data, all

cockles would exceed this size range wihtin one year of growth.

Induced spawning of the cockle was successfully carried

out during the year, using the heat and cold shock treatment

technique. About 3,000 cockle larvae were successfully raised

to the spat stage, with the total duration from time of ferti-

lization to spat taking 30 days. More work is required before

artificial propagation of the cockle can be carried out on a

hatchery scale.

3.1.6. Culture of Perna viridis

Preparations were made to transplant seed mussels from

Johore for culture in Penang waters and other areas. H9wever,

as cockle investiqations were given priority druing the year,

very little progress was made in the mussel project.

3.1.7 0 Finfish/crustacean diseases.

~ll the rearing experiments in the research hatchery

during the year did not encounter any discernible, serious

discase problem, although considerable improvements need to

be made in the monitoring of possible pathogens in the rearing

system. The usage of tonnic acid at 4 ppm in the culture

volume and/or weekly flushing with formalin at about 200

ppm were carried out in the larviculture of udang galah as

a prophylaxis. For udang laut and siakap larviculture, no

prophylactic treatment was given.

The diseased kerapu fish from the LKD~ caqe culture

project in Pulau Lanqkawi ~~refound to have whitish yellow

pustules on the bodyo pS~tldo~ bacteri a were found in hiqh

numbers in the fish samples and the culture water. It was

suggested that the diseased fish be removed from the cages and

be treated with formiJlin or iJcriflavin. Diseased fish were

also encountered in a cage culture project in Pantai Merdeka,

where the fish were found to have fin rot, bulging «yes, swollen

abdominal cavity etc. 1\5 the floating cages used for raising

the fish were found to be clogged with various fouling organisms 7

it is likely that the occurrenCe of fish diseases is due to the

poor management of the cage, at least in most of the cases

investigated •

3.1080 Research!techniciJl support of the

sepat siam culture project at Paya Chong.

Based on the main parameters of the water supply avai-

lable, the abandoned paddy fj.ld site at Paya Chong was found

to be suitable for the culturq,. of sepat siam (Trichogaster

pectoralis). Technical specifications on the pond preparation

and operation were drawn up based on relevant literatUt"e from

Thailand. However, because of the land bwnership problem and

the inadequate height difference between the supply canal and

the pond site, optimum depth and extent of pond water could not

be obtained. Pfter poisoning with Thiodan (with a final concen-

tration of approximately 001 ppm), liming and also fertilizing

with chicken manure, the pond covering an area of 25 ha was

stocked with 23,032 broodfish and 74240 fry, ~uring the period

development work is necessary to produce the udang hnrimau

brood stock from captive prawns (instead of depending on adults

3b 1 .10o Research/technical support of marine finfish/ shrimp propagation at Tqo Demong,Hatcheryo

During the early part of the year, the larviculture of

both uda~g qalah and udang laut was carried out, with the

research compone~t mainly involved in carrying out the induced

spawning of Penaeus monodon, however only with limited success o

During the second half of the year, the Hatchery's

programme was concentrated on the propagation of the siakap

(Lates calcarifer). The first spawning - in the form of natural

spa~ing under controlled environment - was achieved on 21 July

1985 and since" then several. millions of siakap hatchlings have

been obtained, with surplus for sale to hatchery operatcbrs and

also for restocking of coastal waters.

3.1.11. Breeding of the maior carps.

A total of 43 bighead carp were subiected to induced

spawning with a success rate of 9001. The hiqh rate of success

confirmed that the adopted sequence of injections, 250 IU HCG/

kg of body weight, followed by 4 - 6 mg of HCG/kg was effective.

For grass carp, various combinations of injections were

still being experimented upon. The followinq two sequences

proved to be more effective:-

(i) 250 TU HCG/kg + 1 mg PG/kg followed by 4 mg PG/hours

later.

(ii) 10 ug LRH-P,fkg + 1 mg PG/kg followed by 4 mg PG kg/

hours later.

In addition to the above, Catla catla was also success-

fully bred for the first time in Batu Berendam. Two injections

of PG, at the rate of 3 mq/kg, followed by 4 mg/kg of the body

weight 6 hours later proved to be sufficient for the purposeo

A total of 47,400 bighead fry, 17,500 grass carp fry and 1,500

catla fry were-supplied for culture as well as for research.

As the quality of brood stock is important in deciding

the success of an induced spawning, considerable time and

attention were given to the selection and maintenance of

brood stock.

f'l total of 39 females Patin were induced to spawn.

Fecundity ranged from 492,000 to 864,000 per female. At

hatchery level more than 500,000 fry 1.-Tere produced. However

the survival rate at nnrsery level was low Qfid ranged from

o to 6~. A total of 9700 finqerlings were used for research

and also distributed to farmers in Melaka and Negeri Sembilan.

u~diluted Patin semttn stored at '0- 20C for up to 20

hours, was found to be viable. Prolonged storage (44 hours)

however resulted in lmller hatching rate of the fertili·zed eggs.

Finely qround cockle meat proved to be a suitable feed

for Patin hatchlings and can be used to replace newly hatched

artemia larvae. However excessive use may lead to poor water

quality and the left-overs need to be siphoned outo Another

observations is that cannibalism among the hatchlings could

be reduced if the water is slightly brackish (3 - 6 ppt.).

There was a constant lockout for good red tilapia stocks

which could be used for genetic selection for colour and body

weight 0 A Thai stock is presently being worked ono I\.s it is

an altogether new stock, it may be adventageous to first allow

it to breed freely for four to five generations in order to

increase population fitness ~efore selection work is done"

However, some preliminary work was conducted and the results

showed that the genetic variation for the Thai stock was

better than that of the Taiwanese stock that was previously

obtained in 1983 0 This indicated that a better response to '

body weight (the trait that was studied) selection may be

expe~ted from the Thai stocko Not much has been done in terms

of growth rate selection because of the erratic supply of feed

materials and typeso This upset the flow of the experiment

leaving the results valid only for other parameters which are

independent of growth rate.

An index for the selection of tilapia breeders is

being constructed to serve as a guide for the present research"

For til apia individuals of about 8 cm a good head length/standard

length ratio would be 0027; body depth/standard length would

be 0048; and body weight/standard length would be 8 0 8 g/cmo

It has been found that a running recirculated water

of one male to ttree females. This system allmoJs easy stress­

free collection of fry. Each batch of fry may also be grown

in separate tanks up to the point wher~ selection for colour

and good body weight may be performed. Another advantage of

this system is that the fry become accustomed to the daily

feeding routine and can easily be fed when they are subse­

quently cultureed in cages in the reservoirs.

On the average, each red tilapia spawning gives about

560 fry. The range is from 169 to 1,092 for breeders of about

200 g in weight. The standard deviation is 4140

grass for grass carp no supplementary feeding was given for

all the 4 ponds. Poultry manure at the rate of 42.5 kg/ha/day

was applied to two ponds.

After 6 mC'nths production figures were 4050· kg (including

890 kg of prawn) and 4300 kg (including 1030 kg of prawn) per

poultry manuring the respective fiqures were 2020 kg (including

Compared with previous experiments of goat and cattle

manure, it could be co~cluded that poultry manuring provided

the best results for the polyculture systemso

Honoculture trials of u~ang galah and Patin fed with

24% CoPo pellet diet produced rather poor growthQ The shortage

and irregular supply of feed was believed to be the main cause o

The fish and prawn were often starved for long periods and at

one time for almost two months due to the non-availability of

feed" For udang galah the use of newly metamorphosed post­

larvae which had not been fully acclimatised to freshwater was

believed to be an added factoro The pellet used may also lack

the water stability required for prawn feed"

It is felt that the success and further development of

the industry would depend more on the social-economic rather

than the technical factors. Stocking of selected species of f

fish is another area which could be attempted. Fol!ow-up study

will however be needed to ascertain its usefulness.

total amount of feed given was hence the same in bQth

cases. After 2 months fish given two feedings showed

significantly higher growth in one cage, gaining 63 g

body weight/month, but the other three cages showed

similar gain of just over 44 g/month. Hence factors

other than the frequency of feeding were involved and

no definite conclusion could be drawn.

In another experiment red til apia in cages ,.rere

of 4 months. ~s expected, fish fed 60/ body weight qrew

faster, gaining 62 g/month, as compared to those fed only 3w

body weight, qaining only 52 g/montho However the higher gr01Nth

was accompanied by an increase in feed conversion ratio,

implying that at higher feeding rate the feed was not so

effiCiently utilised.

< <-

In cage culture of bighead carp without feeding, it was

observed that fish close to tilapia cages which received feed,

showed better growth, 810 g over a period of 8 months, as

compared to fish further away, which grew only 560 g over the

same period. The greater productivity of the water in tilapia

cages, either as a result of fertilizing effect of the un-

consumed feed or that of the excretory products of the fish,

is believed to be the cause.

It was estoblisherj in both tank and pond trials that

Patin fed with a 32<:1 crude protein pellet provided the best

qrowth rateo Fish fed with chicken viscera also recorded

period of 6 weeks. Combination of soyabean,. maize and rice

bran, all plant ingredients, gave lo~r but significant growth,

indicating that fish meal was essential for good growth and

should not be totally replaced. Large amounts of copra cake

(over 3~k) proved to be undesirable o

For udang galah it was discovered in tank trial that

feed containing small amount (2%) of clay provided the best

growth. It is likely that clay, usually found in the stomach

of prawn cultured in ponds, helps in the digestion of feed.

In another experiment with Oreochromis niloticus

fingerlings, the fish IAlere given 2';1, 4%, 6% and 8% body

weight feeding daily. The growth was observed to increase

with the amount of feed given. The experiment will be

repeated to determine whether higher feeding rate will be

of any benefit.

3.204. Monitoring and analysis of trawl landings in Peninsular Malaysia.

The monitori.:g and analysis of trawl landings in Kuala

Kedah, Pantai Remis, J:ulal.l Panqkor and Batu Maung (Penang) :at

selecte~ landing sites werp again continued in 1985. The

collection of data was Jone monthly using the "random sampling"

and "direct recording" method. Data was collected on landings

of commerc:i.al fish and prawns including species composition.

Variations in species composition in landings by fish ano prawn

trawlers in Kuala Kedah were also recorded. In Pantai Remis,

variations in species of prawns landed by trawlers in the morning

as well as evening were observed, while in pangkor variations in

species of fish according to fishing ~~nes was noted.

The data on trawl landings at the various centres have

been analysed and are presented below in a ~ief ferm.

a) Kuala Kedah, Kedah.

;s in 1984, two randing centres were monitored in Kuala

Kedah, the LKn~ 1\~arketing Complex (for prawn landings) and

Syarikat CHING (for fish landings). Data on composition of

trash fish landings were obtained from a fish processing

establishmento

i) Lnndings by Prnwn Trawlers - below 25 GRTc

Prawn trawlers of this category made daily trips and

trawled only during the night. On the nverage the vessels

trawled 3 times per night, with ench haul lasting 2~ to 3

hours 0

The analysis of the catches showed thnt females of

Penaeus monodon averaged 47°/ in the large-sized categcry

while the males of Pc monodon averaged 39% in the medium

sized prawns that "'Jere landed 0 ~,mong the medium sized prawns

that were landed, females of Hetapenaeus affinis avera qed

770/ in the landings while in the small sized category males

of No ,nffinis averaqed 50%0

Among the demersal fish that were landed by the prawn

trawlers were Cynoqlossus SPa (3SOj,), Huraenesox Spa (15%)

and Nemipterus japonicus (~h)o Pelngic fish that were lnnded

were ~~ugi1 saheili (25% of the pelagic fish landed) followed

by Rastrelliger brachysoma (16%) and Pampus argenteus (15%)0

The lnrge nnd medium sized squids that were landed were

mainly ~epia spo while the small sized squids were Sepiella

SPa and sepia sp •

. Among the species of crabs that were landed were

Portunnus pelaqicus (250/) of the total crQb landinqs and

the remainder being ketam merah o

Trash fish landingso

On the average juveniles of commercial fish amounted

to 5~k of the trash fish landed o In respect of species

composition Apogon spo was the dominant species in the true

trash, while Nemipterus japonicus and Saurida tumbil were

dominant in the juveniles of commercial fish.

ii) Landings by prawn trawlers 25 - 40 tons.

Boats of this category cauqht both prawns und fish, fish

during the day and prdlNns at niqht, with each trip lasting

4 - ') days. The tz:nwling WuS conducted in areas beyond

seven miles from shore up to LnDgkawi waters and the

Indonesian boundaryo On the aver~qe the vessels trawled

2 - 3 times per day and also 2 - 3 times in the night with

each haul lasting 3 - 4 hours.

The analysis of the catches showed that among the

larger prawns that. were landed penaeus semieulcatus was

most dominant, while in the medium size category, Metapenaeus

ensis was dominant o Among the small sized prawns the dominant

species was Solenccera subnuda. Like the trawlers of that

below 25 ton category females of M£tapenaeus lysianassa were

landed in large quantities averaging more than 6~ko

The demersal fish species lunded by these trawlers \.vere

mainly Cynoolossus spo and the main pelagic species being

Rastrelliger hrachysoma.

Trash fish landings.

The juveniles of commercial fish th~t,~re landed were

largely Jvemipterus sp., Leiognathus splendens and Upeneus

sulphureus. ]\Ton-edible trash was largely Apogon spo

iii) Landings by fish tri3wlers above 30 GT.

Roats of this cotegory fished only during the day and

made only daUy trips. They fished in an area at least 7

miles from shore making 2 - 3 hauls of 3 - 4 hours per haul.

Analysis of the catches showed that the demersal fish

catches averaged 59.7 kg/bont while pelagic fish eatches aver­

aged 214.0 kg/boat. Ikan kerisi averaged 1701 kg/boat followed

by ikan gelama 10.3 kg/boat. Among the pelagic species landed,

Rastrelliger brachysoma was dominant averaging 155.8 kg/boat

or 72% of the pelagic landings.

A.mong the squids that were landed, Lolligo sp. was most

dominant averaging 41.0 kg/boat or 140/ of the total landings

per trip. Among the crabs that were landed was Charybdis

cruciata (ketam merah)0

Trash fish accounted for almost 680/ of the total

landings averaging 408.67 kg/boat. Juveniles of commercial

fish that were landed I'llere larqely stoleph~rus sp., almost

24~ of the trash whilst Leigonathus bindus was dominant

b) pantai Remis, Perak.

The majority of the praWI._~s operating in

)Cantai Remis are below 25 GT and fish in waters beyond

3 miles from shore.. ··The boats operate daily and fish

either during the night or durinq the day. On the average

the boats make 3 hauls per trip lasting 2 to 3 hours per

hauL

Two landinq centres were ~onitored, these being Syarikat

BOON TEE for cutches landed in the morninq, and Syarikat

Kerjasama Nelayan Pantai Remis for catches landed in the

evening or at night.

No trash fis!' was monitored as all trash fish were

thrown over board by the operators, due to the absence of

processing establishments at panta! Remis.

Analysia of the landings showed that boats that landed

their catches in the morning averaged 32032 kg/boat while

boats that landed their catches at night averaged 41.16 kg/

boat. Commercial fish were very high in the landings during

the evenings while landings in the mornings were largely prawns

averaging 920/ of the catch.

c) pulau Pangkor, Perak.

Monitoring of landings in Pulau Pargkor was undertaken

on two categories of trawlers. These trawlers were those in

the 25 - 40 GT opera tina in Zone B and trawlers in the 40 -

69.9 GT operatinq in zone C.

carried out on a daily trip basis of 3 to 4 hauls per trip

and each haul lasting 2~ to 3 hourso

i) Fish trawlers between 25 - 40 BT (Fishing Zone B)o

The analysis of the trawl landings of this category

of vessels showed that on the average demersal fish

amounted to 135~96 kg/boat (490~k), pelagic fish 87039

kg/boat (32000/) and squids 35.53 kg/boat (13o~)o The

most dominant demersal species landed was Johnius aneus

speCies, Rastrelliger brachysoma was most dominant averaging

28.75 kg/boat.. !I.mong the squids, I:olli"~ sp. was dominnnt

averaging 27.18 kg/boat or 760/ of the total SQUids caught.

Trash fish landings were aoain high with juveniles

of commercial fish averaging 259.04 kg/boat while non­

edible trash dmounted to 199.0d kg/boat. Among the

dominant species in the trash catch ~f/ere Upeneus sulphureus

(1~ of the commercial trash) and Leiogathus bindus (34.5%

of the non-edible trash).

ii) Fish trawlers between 40-69 0 9 GTCFishing zone C).

On the average the above category of trawlers landed

168.12 kg/boat of demersal fish (58.5%), 68048 kg/boat

of pelagic fish (23.8%), and 33.04 kg/boat of squids

(11.5%). The most dominant demersal species were again

3 0 2.6. study on the economic feasibility of commercial trawling in Zone C in Past Johore waters.

,~ study on the economic feasibility of commercial

trawling in ?,one C (~? miles from shore) was initiated in ~ast

Johore 0 The studies were conducted for a period of 6 I,reeks

with 3 commercial trawlers from Pndau, f'1ersinq.

The results showed that only two of the six areas

chosen for the studies IArere suitable for commercial trawling 0

These two areas were off Nenasir in Pahanq and off Sedili in

Johore. A full report on the study was prepared and submitted

to ~p in H0 Kuala Lumpur.

3.2.7. studies on fishing gear.

The studies initiated in 1984 were pgain continued

in 1985 with a view to'understiJnding the design, opet'ntioo and

selectivity of a number of gears. The selection of gears for

the studies were made through suggestions by the f'!cmagement

Unit at 4eadquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

Among the studies undertaken in 1985 ~~re:-

i) Use of the "BY-CIITCH EXCLUDER DF,VICP" (BED) with the

Prawn Trawl !\let.

ii) Economic feasibility of Commercial Trawling in the off­

shore areas of East Johore.

iii) Observations on the use of l"AYl\OtS'lnStIDah.

iv) preliminary studies on the use of the two-tiered trawl net.

a) Use of the ,IBy-Catch Bxcluder Device"

(BED) with the prawn Trawl Net.

The use of the By-Ca.tch Excluder Device with the

Prawn Trawl y..Tet was undertaken in 1984 by an FAO ElIlpE!rt,

En. Tatang Sujastani. The study was tepe8ted in 1985 to

obtain an lhdepth understanding on its USe for seper~tihg

the prawn catch from commercial fish and trash.

The studies indicated that the BED was in fact III

~f~tl{re as a by-catch excluder and also increased the

cost of operation for the trawler fishermen. A report on

the studies was submitted to HO on 4.6.19R5, ,LSulit Prk.ML.

b) Economic feasibility of commercial trawling in

the offshore areas of East Johore.

The study was undertaken in collaboration with IPM,

Batu Maung, Cawangan Perancang dan Pembangunan at HO, and

the state Fisheries Dept. of Johore. The objective of :the

trawling in Zone C (12 miles off-shore).

out of the six areas that were trawled only two indicated

some potential for commerCial traWling. However these ttorO

areas were also traditionally exploited with purse seiners.

The potential for commercial trawling off Pulau Tioman and

off Pulau "-ur was good but the commerci.al trawlers available

at the time of the study did not have the technical skills to

exploit the resources in these deeper waters.

d) Preliminary studies on the use

of the two-tiered trawl neto

The use of the two-tiered trawl net to separate

prawns from commercial fis~ and trash was carried out in

November 1985 in Penang waters. preliminary observations

indicated that approximately 90% of the prawns were herdered

in the lower tier while young commercial fish were herdered

A report on the preliminary findings was submitted via

Malaysia, Sarawak and SabUho The studies are undertaken with

the aid of Hydroaccoustic instruments fitted to the research

vessel K.K."AYA". It W(}s most unfortunate that the vessel was

unsea~orthy t~roughout 1985 and spent a large part of the year

undergoing ~ajor repairs to its bull.

The East eoast branch also undertake6studies on

~andings and the biology of selected pelagic species, their

migration pattern, spawning seasons. feeding habits and other

relevant scientific information. The resource and biology or

prawns and squids are also undertaken. Studies on fishing gear

are also attempted from time to time when the need arises.

The following are brief highlights of the stUdies

carried out on the purse-seine; fishing which is an important

activjty in the fishing indUstry of the East Coast of Peninsular

Malaysia. It is largely operated at night with the aid of light

attraction. In Terengganu however, purse-seine fishing is also

carried out during the day_ Towards the south at Kuala sedili

in Johore,purse-seine fishing is carried out with the aid of

lures (tuas).

In Terengganu the purse-seine vessels can be categorised

mainly into two classes, ioe o those below 40 GT and those between

40 - 70 GT4 A few purse-seines above 10 GT are also operated in

Terengqanu but samplinq was confined to the below 40 GT and 40 -

70 GT vessels.

An analysis of the landings by vessels below 40 GT

based in Kuala Terengganu showed that the bulk of the catch was

Page 48: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

pelagic fish with some demersal species being landed as well.

The results showed tha1 during January the catch was mainly

Rastrellige~ ~anagurta amounting to 56.70/0 of the total catch,

foll>owed by Selar hoops, 9.8"1- and Atule ~ 7.50(. Caranx spp.

amounted to' 13.70/-. In February, the dominant species was ~elar

crumenopthal~~ with very little of other species being landed.

In March~ Atule ~ accounted for 380/" of the landings followed

by Rastr~l.!~ger kanagurta 25,,40/- and selar boops 23.50/-. The

speciesMe9?1~sp.~ cordyla was most dominant in April totalling

2'.8% of the total landings while squids was also 27.00/. During

April landings of Decapterus maruadsi totalled 19 .. 00/,. In May,

the dominant species were Selar with Atule ~ totalling 37.2%,

Selar hoops 25.6% and Selar crumenopthalmus 16.3%.

In August the dominant species was Rastrelliger

kanagurta amounting to 43.9% and necapterus maruadsi 24.1%.

However in September, the species Decapterus maruadsi accounted

for 89 .. 8% of the total landings.. For october Megalaspis cordyla

totalled 61 .. 9% of the landings, followed by Decapterus maruada!

20.6% and Rastrelliger kanagurta 14.4% ..

Length frequency measurements of the pel~gic species

that were landed by the purse-seines below 40 GT showed that in

January, Rastrelliger kanagurt~ averaged 23.2 cm. in len~,

while in February it averaged 23.8 cm. The fish also reachedf

full gonad maturity during the month of February.. By April the

length measurements of B.. kanagurta averaged only 16.8 em.

Rastreillger faughni averaged 20.0 cm in January and 20.5 em

in April but was only 12.8 cm in March. Decapterus maruadsi

Page 49: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

averaged 17.5 cm in February but was smaller in size durinq the

other months. Selar crumenopthalmus was largest in January

averaging 19 - 20 cm and smallest in December. Other pelagic

fish species did not show much difference in length size from

month to month.

During 1985, vessels of 40 - 70 GT size landed

several pelagic species throughout the year. These included

Rastrelliger kanagu~, Decapterus maruadsi, Selar crumenopthalmus,

Atule ~, Megalaspis cordyla and Thunnus tonggol.

In January, the dominant pelagic species was Decapterus

maruadsi amounting to 43.4% followed by Atule ~, 20.0%.

Do maruadsi was again heavily landed in February totalling 74.3%

followed by Rastrelliger kanagurta 11 0 60/,. In March D. maruadsi

totalled 79.f!i(, and Thunnus tonggol 10.50/,. In April, .£. maruadsi

totalled 55.90/ and Selar crumenopthalmus 25.6~o May landings

showed that D. macrosoma amounted to 36.8% and Selar crumenopthalmus

30.6%. .£. maruadsi again dominanted the landinqs in August,

september and October averaging 31.4%, 39 .. 5% and 48.5~ respectively.

From the above monthly percentage of landinqs it is clear that

Deeapterus rnaruadsi is the most dominant pelagic species caught

by the 40 - 70 G'f purse-seiners based in Kuala Terengganu.

Length frequency measurements of the pelagic species

landed by the 40 70 GT purse seiners showed that Rastrelliger

kanagurta averaged 23.7 cm in total length at the beginning of

the year while in June, the total length dropped to an average

of 160 2 em. With respect to Decapterus rnaruadsi, the total

length averaged 20.5 cm in January and 14.8 cm in September.

Selar crumenopthalmus showed similar variations, being largest

in January and smallest towards the end of the year. other

pelagic species showed little variation in size through~t

the year 1985.

3.2.9. Studies on mini-trawlers with engines below 30 H.P

The above study was carried (".ut from data taken

from the receipt books of the Wholes~i~ES:; at the Fish Landing

Complex at Pulau Kambing. Recording of data was conducted in

June to December 1985. It was observed that catches by the

trawlers using engine below 30 H.Po amounted to 65.5% trash fish

and 34.5% commercial fish throughout~:l~r the seven month period ..

However, trash fish catches were high in November, totalling 88%.

The catch per boat (CPUE) including trash fish was high in

September, recording 188.4 kg/boat while the CPUE, not including

trash fish in S~ptember was only 28.3 kg/boat. Commercial fish

catches were highest in July averaoing 34.5 kg/boat.

3.2.10. Studies onm~-prawn trawlers.

The study on mini-prawn trawlers was carried out at

the LKIM Complex at Pulau Karnbing. A total of over 20 species

of prawns were landed by the mini prawn trawlers at Pulau

Kambing. The highest landings were noted during the NoE.

monsoon months i.e. October to March. In terms of species

composition, the dominant species in January was parapeneopsis

hardwickii which totalled 64.3% and was followed by Metapenaeus

intermedius, 13 .6%. In February, P~naeus merguiensis averaged

Page 51: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

40 .. 4<t, followed by Pe-rapeneopsis hardwickii 25 .. 6ot, and

Metapenaeus affinis 14.30/. During March, penaeus semisulcatus

averaged 63 .. 5% and Penaeus monodon 25. 14°l. In April, the

dominant species was fo merguiensis with 3502~ followed by

Metapenaeus affinis 23.2%.

Length frequency measurements of the prawns landed

by the mini-prawn trawlers showed that the size of Penaeus

monodon averaged between 21 .. 1 cm - 24.2 cm while ~enaeus

merguiensis averaged between 16.3 cm - 18.3 cm. The species,

Parapeneopsis hardwickii which was the dominant species in the

catches averaged between 7.3 cm - 11.5 cm.

3.2 .. 11. Management of trolling and line fishing ..

Trolling and line-fiShing is an important fishing

activity in Terengganu with Ikan Tongkol being the target species,

contributing to 11% ·of the total catch landed in the state.

Analysis ef data on landings showed that the highest landings w

were recorded in September totalling 966.56 kg/boat, followed

by 525.69 kg/boat in July. The highest landings of ikan tongkol

recorded was in :Uly when a total of 271 trolling boats landed

142,462 kg of fish.

During th~ N.E. Monsson period, January, February,

March, october, November and December the catches were very

were shown in January and Eebruary. As trolling'boats are

generally small sized, being below 10 GT and equipped with

engines of less than 37 HP, it is dangerous for these small

oraft to fish durinq the monsoon period and conseauently

the landings during this period is low.

It was also noted that the target species for the

trolling boats during the monsoon period is ikan tenggiri.

The catches of ikan tenggiri in November ayeraged 268.2 kg/boat

and a total of 13,152 kg of ikan tenggiri was landed by 49 boats.

3.3. AQUATIC ECOLOGY SECTION.

3.3.1. Artificial Reef Development.

Reef development progressed further in 1985, with

activities centred around expansion of existing tyre reefs,

selection of sites for new tyre reefs, and the construction of

boat reefs.

a) Reef Expansion.

Five existing tyre reefs (p. Aman in penang; Po Paya in

Kedah; K. Besar, Geting and K. Semerak in Kelantan) ~re

expanded with a total of 9,539 tyres. By the end of 1985

the 14 tyre reefs had a total figure of 83,668 tyres.

b) Site selection for new reefs.

Site selection surveys were carried out in the coastal

waters of Kedah, Penang, perak, Selangor, East Johore,

Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan. The surveys were condUcted

both by underwater observations of the seabed and by an

examination of cere samples. A total of 32 sites were found

to be suitable for the establis~ent of new reefs. New reefs are expected to be launched at these sites during 1986.

c) Boat Reefs.

A boat reef was launched in the waters of Manjunq in perak

in February, 1985, using 7 boats. This reef was later

expanded further by the addition of 28 boats in· NOVember/

December. Most of the boats were confiscated fishing vessels.

3.3.2. Ecology of Natural Reefs.

In preparation for the establishment of marine parks,

surveys on natural reefs, that is, coral reefs began this year,

and were centred around pulau Aur in East Johore, pulau Redang

in Terengganu and Pulau Paya in Kedah.

a) Pulau Aur, Johoreo

The survey of the reef here was carried out in mid - June

to determine the extent and diversity of corals. The reef

was observed to be narrOw and limited to two large sheltered

bayso The reef at Telok Kg. Berhala was found to be partially

damaged. A total of 47 species of corals from 24 genera was

recorded. Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster plancii)

numbering more than 60 were also observed.

b) Pulau Redang, Terengqanu.

A. reef survey was carried out here in July, jointly with

staff of Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. The survey covered

both the coral respurces as well as other invertebrates and

fishes in the reef ecosystem.

- 49 -

c) Pulau Paya, Kedah.

A reconnaissance survey was carried out here in ~uly to

map out the extent of coral reefs fringing this island.

3.3.3. Ecology of Mangrc.·es.

a) Sungai Merbok study A,rea.

This is an area where mangroves were cleared for purposes

of aquaculture. Studies were focussed on water quality

faunal composition from a standard sampling gear and commercial

catches. Field observatmons were made every alternate month,

hence a total of six such observations were made.

ll1ater samples from the estuarine tidal zone of Sg. Dedap

Kecil and Sg. Dedap Besar were analysed for salinity,

temperature, pH, BOD and dissolved oxygen. The physico-

chemical conditions were somewhat similar in both the rivers,

with salinity ranging from 6 to 33 p.p.to; temperature from

o 30 to 34 C; pH from 7.5 to 8.1; BOD from 1.0 to 2.9; and

dissilved oxygen from 4.7 to 8.4 p.p.m. On the ",hole water

quality in this mangrove study area can be said to be

relatively free ~~ organic pollution. The situation was

more or less the same in 1984. This might indicate that the

partial removal of mangroves in the Kuala Sungai Merbok area

has not adversely affected water quality in the area, as

also observed in the year's earlier (1982, 1983) 0

Fish fauna

Both the Sq. Dedap Kecil and Sq. Dedap Sesar were sampled

using the standard gear, the jala. The faunal composition

in Sg. Dedap Besar showed a dominance of 2 species of fish

(Anodontostoma chacunda, Mugil spp.) and 1 species of prawn

(Penaeu~ merguiensis). M~ilst the Mugil spp. was clearly

dominant in the February and March observation, ~o chacunda

was dominant in August and P. merguiensis, in August and

october.

In Sg. Dedap Kecil, the same three species were again

dominant, with ~. merguiensis in all the 5 samples (from

February to October); and Mugil spp. in March and Mayo

From the number of samples collected so far a total of

58 species of fish, 12 species of prawns and 8 species of

molluscs were recorded in the sg. Merbok areas, many of

which are non commercial species.

b) Kuala sepetan~ study Area.

Unlike the Sungai Merbok Study Area, the Kuala Sepetang

Study Area represents that where mangroves have not been

cleared for other developments, but are still intact. But

studies carried out here are more or less similar to that

of Sungai ~erbok, except that greater focus was placed on

the marine prawns that show some form of association with

the coastal mangroves.

The study commenced in March, 1985 and a total of 6

samples of prawns were taken till the end of the year, from

Page 56: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

Pukat Surung operators. The samples were studied as to

their species composition, sex ratio and size of individual

prawns in terms of their length and weight. The main prawn

species in the samples were ~~ merguiensis and Penaeus

monodon, the former was found in larger numbers. The females

of P. mergu~nsis were found to be larqely in sexually mature

state with ripe ovaries, whilst those of P. monodon oNere not

in such a state of gonadal. development.

The P. merguiensis had a size range of 1.0

and 2.0 - 22.0 g, whilst the P. monodon was 2 0 6

in length and 10.0 - 152.0 g in w1ight.

3.3.4. Bacterial Contamination.

3.0 cm

6 0 5 cm

The monitoring of bacterial (fecal coliform) contamination

in the cockles (Anadara granosa) continued in 1985, whilst efforts

to find a suitable method to depurate contaminated cockles were

discontinfted, to allow for technical assistance from Australia

to devise a proper depuration system, under the ASEAN - Australia

Food Handling Progr~mme.

The monitoring of bacterial contemination in cockles

was possible only during the first half of the year, OWing to

the research staff being sent overseas ona study tour. Cockle

samples from th€ Jelutong sewage outfall area in penang were

monitored to show fecal coliform levels ranginq from 7 to 167

MPN/g. These levels signify heavy micr.obial contamination of

the Jelutong cockles, conSidering the maximum permissible limits

in shellfish, as recognized in U.K., U.S.A and Japan, to be in

Page 57: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

- 52 -

the region of only 2.3 MPN/g. The present monitoring exercise

on cockles is expected to be extended to ~ther ar .. 8s in due

course, particularly to the commercial beds, situated in

Se~rang Prai end in perako

3.3.5. Heavy Metals Contamination.

Monitoring of heavy metals in fish was continued in

1985, with the collection of a set of marine fish samples from

the states of Penang, Kedah; Pcrak and Selangor (representing

the Straits of Malacca element) and the states of Johor and

Terengganu representing the South China Sea element. Some of

these fish samples comprising 7 species were analysed for

heavy metal residues, such as cop~er, zinc, cadmium, lead and

mercury.

AparT, from the above samples a sample of trawl fish

collected in 1983 (during the cruise of K.Ko Mersuji from P •

. Pangkor to P. Langkawi), and a sample of freshwater fish from

the Ta.enggor Dam in Perak were also analysed.

The. levels of heavy metals recorded in the above samples

are below the maximum permissible limits in fish as observed in

U.S.A., Sweden and west Germany, if consumed by man. The levels

are, however, highly vaLiable from species to species and frem

one locality to another. It is therefore necessary that the

monitoring of heavy metals in flsh be continued indefinitely

in order to detect localities and species which may show

increasing trends of the pollutants bioaccumulating in the

muscle tissues. Such data may also assist in the location of

- 53 -

the source of pollution and thereby bring it under control

through existing environmental laws. Most important of all

is that the data obtained may suggest if the comsumption of

a fish species in concern may endanger human health ..

3.3.6. pesticides/FCB'S Contamination.

Though a staff was trained in 1984 to carry out

studies of organochlorine pesticide and PCB residues in fish,

the staff was transferred to Head Quarters in Kuala Lumpur in

Eebruary, 1985. Hence this study was held in abeyance until

such time a suitable replacement was found to be attached full

time to the study. Fish samples fer the study were, never~

theless, collected from various localities and deep f.$'~" so

that they may be prepared for analysis at a more convenient time.

The study would .involve the determination of residue levels of

organochlorine pesticides (viz; DDT and met~olites, Dieldrin,

Lindaee) and polychlorinated biphenyls, all of which are known

to bioaccurnulate in fish and shellfish, i.f they are present in

the aquatic environment.

3.3 0 70 T,rater OUali ty e

The monitoring of water quality was carried out in 14

major rivers· along·: the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia (viz:

- PERLIS: Sg. Perlis; KEDAH: Sg. Kedah, sg. Merbok, Sg. Muda;

PENANG : Sg .. Juru, Sgo Prai, Sg. Jilwi; PERAK: sgo Krian, sg.

Perak; SELANGOR: Sg. Selangor, sg. Klang; JOHORE : Sg. Muar,

Sg. Batu Pahat, sg. Skudai), and in the coastal waters of

Penang and pangkor.

Page 59: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

- 54 -

The stute of pollution in the rivers WuS quite similar

to that of the previous years, with no significant changes in

water quulityo Basically, pollution was ~etected in riverine

stretches near tOINnships and settlements, mainly due to the

discharge of sewage and other organic wastes of domestic

origin. Ammonia levels were qehera11y high but rather restricted . . to these stretches of the rivers. The upstream and estuarine

portions of these rivers were, on the other hand, found to be

less polluted; this is due to minimal environmental problems

encountered in the upper reaches of rivers and the tidal flushing

effect in the downstream estuaries. The coastal waters of Penang

and P. Pungkor hardly showed any changes in water quality compared

to the previous years. The waters of Batu Maung and Gertak

Sanggul in Penang remained in u grossly polluted state, with a

build-UP of sulphides, mainly due to effluent discharge from t

the piggermes in the area.

3.3.80 Oil Pollution.

Monitoring of oil pollution was carried out mainly in

the form of beach tar ball surveys and to some extent through

analysis of seuwater samples for dissolved and dispersed petroleum

hydrocarbons.

Beach tar ball surveys were carried out in the states

of Kedah (pulau Langkawi), Penang (Gertak SangguU and perak

(Pulau Pangkor). Data from the surveys suggest that oil pollution

is very minimal in the coastal waters of these states, and, can

be classified as free of oil pollution (that is < 10g/m).

Page 60: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

- 55 -

water samples for analysis of dissolved and dispersal

petroleum hydrocarbons were token from Glugor Jetty in Penang.

They record very low levels of the hydrocarbonse

The monitoring of oil pollution was initiated in the

coastal waters forming the Straits of Malacca element, due-to

the Straits being a throughfjre for both merchant as well as oil

shipping. It can therefore be antiCipated that the coastal

waters of the Straits will be subjected to a fair amount of oil

pollution, mainly from the cperational discharge of oily bilge

waters from the maritime vessels. The monitoring effort is to

keep track of trends in oil pollution and to make periodic

assessments 5S to possible impacts on marine life,especially

fish.

3.3.9. ToxicologYa

Toxicity tests were carried out on oil dispersants,

under the Regional Seas Proqramme of the United Nations Environ-

rnent Programme (UNEP) for the East Asian Seas (EAS)o The tests

were carried out on 12 oil dispersents (viz: Chemkleen OSDA-NY,

Corexit 8667, Corexit 9527, Diversey OSD, Cold Crew Oil Dispersant,

Hydrosol SE-4, Hydrosol DN-dO, Napasco petro-Solv, Servo CD-2000, , ~, TI ,

Shell LT-4 and Vans OSD-29). The tests were carried out c.tno

the dispersants in combination with a standard crude oil, the

test animal engaged being Tilapia nilotica. The objective of

the exercise was to determine, through 48 hour LCSO values, .

dispersant that carried lower toxicities to marine life, so

that these dispersants may be used in oil spill combat at sea,

when deemed necessary.

Page 61: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1985 - PNMmyrepositori.pnm.gov.my/bitstream/123456789/2839/1/...artificial reef consh'uction and moni toring, and marine pollution. While shore-hased facilities were

- 56 -

The results suggest that Servo CD-2000 is the least

toxic of the group of dispersants tested, whilst Napasco Petro­

Solv and Vans 08D-29 are very highly toxic s

Jeffrey and Nichols (1973) have classified oil

dispersants according to their 48h LC 50 values, for Crangon

crangon (a brown shrimp), as determined under temperate climatic

conditions, that is under lower ambient temparatures. According

to their classification, dispersants showing 48h LC 50 values

exceeding 10,000 ulll are practically non-toxic; whilst those

with values between 10,000 - 1,000 are slightly toxic; 1,000 -

100 moderately toxic; 100 - 10 toxic; and below 10 ~ery toxic.

Such classification may not be applicable to our test results

owing to differences in test conditions and test animals. It

is envisaged that a set of toxicity ratings will be drawn up

fr~ our test results in due course, that is after further tests

bave been completed in the absence of crude oil.
