Monday, April 21, 1997 'Fish on wheels' to ensure quality supply
JOHOR BARU: The Johor Fishermen's Association has implemented a "fish on wheels" programme to ensure that consumers have a constant supply of good quality fish at reasonable prices.
Its chairman Abu Jusoh said the programme was launched with two lorries donated by the state government. "The lorries will ply housing estates," he said.
Abu Jusoh said the association would expand the direct sale concept to all major towns.
"We picked Johor Baru to start the programme because of the high cost of living and the demand for good quality marine products at moderate prices," he said.
Abu Jusoh said the association would receive its supplies from fishermen in Endau, Mersing, Pontian, Batu Pahat and Muar and also from neighbouring countries.
He said the Malaysian Fisheries Development Board would help the association set up a cold room at the wholesale complex in Pandan soon.

Kukup breeders: Effluents killing fish By Shahar Yaacob
PONTIAN: More than RM100,000 worth of fish being bred in cages in the sea off Kukup, 24km south of here, have died in the past two weeks believed to be due to effluents flowing from a nearby river.
A breeder Ng Swee San alleged that the effluents had reached several cages close to the rivermouth. He hoped the authorities concerned would react quickly to contain the problem.
He said the breeders found the fish behaving strangely about two weeks ago and their first thought was that the old problem of ships desludging had reappeared.
But there was no sign of the oily substance and so they decided to scout around for a clue.
"We discovered some dead fish floating in the water around the mouth of Sungai Durian. As we moved further inland there were more dead fish.
"When we returned to Kukup we probed the water edgeand took several water samples which we sent to the relevant authorities for analysis. We also lodged a police report at Permas."
Some 70 breeders are operating pen-culture fish breeding in Kukup water spanning several kilometres along the strait between the Kukup coastline and Kukup island.
Most of the harvest are sold to seafood restaurants while some are exported to Singapore.
Most of the fish fry are imported from Taiwan as they are more resistant to the water condition in Kukup.
Among the fishes being bred are tiger kerapu and siakap which can attain a weight of 10kg in four months fetching a price of RM10 per kg.
"Up to today I have lost at least RM40,000 and will lose more if the situation is not brought under control," said Ng.
It is believed that the Department of Environment had collected water samples and is investigating the source of the alleged pollution.
