IBILAGA: Developing the Fishery Industry in Central Kalimantan
The main focus of this project is to develop the freshwater fish industry in Central Kalimantan. Pak Juliansyah thinks that the industry is lacking, if compared to that of South Kalimantan. He explains that “The people don’t want to raise gabus or papuyu because it takes a long time. So, one of our objectives is to shorten its growing time”, which they did for patin, from seven-eight months to four months. They do this by experimenting with three factors: the feed, the genetic stock and the environment.
