STAC's first bred Cobia grown well in Pulau Ketam Farm
 
Cobia fish fries for the past year s have  been imported from Taiwan, a MOU was signed with Mr. Halex Chua, Marketing Manager of SHL Farm on January of 2006 to use the farm  Cobia brooder stocks for cannulation to determinate the sex maturity. A first batch of 4000 Cobia fish fries was successfully bred  on March 2006. Mr.Halex stocked all the Cobia fish fries. Growth was very satisfactory since the Cobia fish fries were stocked in a 5 meter x 20 meter x 2 meter marine cage. The growth of the fish until December 3^rd in average was about 6 kg per fish. According to Mr. Halex Chua, the Cobia would keep for festive season Chinese New Year which will be on 18^th February 2007.The price and demand would rise up, as local consumers  like fish fillets produced from  bigger size Cobia.
