UMT lecturer comes up with affordable feed for aquaculture industry

They are supporting 40 ornamental fish breeders and aquaculture industry players in Terengganu and Pahang as a plankton supplier, which is used as live feed for the fishes.

Led by UMT Faculty of Fisheries and Food Science lecturer Dr Wan Nurul Nadiah Wan Rasdi, various species of plankton could be cultured through this project. “Plankton cultivation provides a fishmeal alternative and a supplementary feed for fish cultivated by ornamental fish breeders and aquaculture players.“We have received a great response from local breeders, where they have successfully cultured plankton minus the high cost. They can save up to 50 per cent of their monthly income that they use for purchasing fish feed.

Through the government grant, she partnered with an aquaculture company in Kuantan, Pahang, to commercialise plankton culture.
