DECADES of overfishing as good as habitat destruction have exacted a heavy toll on a ecosystem of a Petagas River. Fishery bonds have dwindleddramatically with apocalyptic consequences on our nautical resources. The ecosystem is no longer means to cope.
About 40 years ago, Petagas River was an mercantile source for a fishermen encampment along a river. The stream H2O was most cleanser as good as a surrounding sourroundings was also some-more pacific as good as a Petagas encampment thrived along a stream banks., This was how a Minister of Agriculture as good as Food Industry, Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin remembers a river.
Today, he is in between a most who lamentation a massive pollution of a Petagas River as good as all a alternative rivers in Sabah. Yahya's regard is good upheld by a investigate findings of a Department of Environment which monitors a condition of a stream H2O across Sabah. The H2O peculiarity has deteriorated dangerously.
"Primary pollutants have been obviously manifest to a naked eyes especially made during home waste such as plastic bags as good as bottles, not to discuss a effluents from a houses along a stream bank.
However, a executive of Borneo Marine Research Institu! te, Univ ersiti Malaysia Sabah, Professor Dr. Saleem Mustafa thinks he has a resolution to a exhausting nautical life.
He pronounced "looking during a stream situation, a direct for nautical food in a future can usually be met through a new bid in a process of fisheries management, for example by increasing aquaculture production."
The new process referred to by Dr. Saleem is based on scholarship as good as technology as good as it is indispensable to meet a sharpening demands of food sources. This process is named 'Sea Ranching'. It involves a release of seeds from a comparison nautical species constructed from a hatchery to a healthy environment.
"It is one way which can await a sustainability of fishery resources" Dr, Saleem added.
He serve explained, "in you do marine farming, a categorical design is a alleviation of fishery bonds to increase a strange population which has decreased. Thus restocking of fish will increase breeding as good as optimise catch. This in turn will give a communities concerned a better income."
According to Dr. Saleem, in a batch alleviation plan in Sungai Petagas, shrimp was chosen because it is means to survive in uninformed H2O as good as in brackish water. Shrimp's diet is also concordant with a sort of food accessible in Petagas River.
10 encampment chiefs from Petagas released a total of 5000 shrimp seeds in a Petagas River final week. This is a second phase of a Petagas River batch alleviation project.
