BEIJING: Eight months after the poignant reunion of a PhD graduate with his long-lost Chinese birth family – following his adoption to the Netherlands three decades ago – he brought his Dutch father to China to reconnect with his birth mother, envisioning a future filled with love and care from both families.
Erratic weather, foreign encroachment and warming seas are cutting into our seafood supply, but aquaculture aided by space technology may help.
Furthermore, climate change, warming oceans, erratic weather and overfishing are all weighing heavily on our fish production statistics. Aquaculture production has been showing a sturdy increase in growth from 2004 to 2012, too, and while there have been some ups and downs, overall production remains high.
With this note, the parties agreed to expand the system’s functionality to encompass all activities in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, covering inland, coastal, and marine zones across the country, including Sabah and Sarawak. “With careful planning, this renewed collaboration aims to map up to 8,327 farms across Malaysia, comprising 7,492 edible fish farms and 835 ornamental fish farms,” it says.The Fisheries Research Institute’s Azhar says the main issues currently facing fish farmers in Malaysia include water quality, unpredictable weather, pollution, disease, and limited access to accurate and up-to-date environmental data.
“As a result, the MyDOFGiS system helps to control and monitor the farms” he says, adding that the spatial mapping activities of all 8,327 farms in Malaysia is expected to be completed by the year 2030.In elaborating, Mysa’s Azlikamil says the project involves the mapping of aquaculture farms by identifying the locations of these farms along with their spatial details.
“The development of this system fully utilises the internal expertise of Mysa research officers and its existing facilities,” he says.
