The new mussel farm at Sungai Johor is expected to produce its first batch of bivalve molluscs in January next year.
The new farm is part of the Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia and the Johor Fisheries Department’s effort to increase the production of mussels in the state, he said.
“The Sungai Johor current is a bit stronger than Sungai Masai’s, which could affect the production,” he said when contacted. Asked to comment on whether the Sungai Masai mussel farm would be shut down if the trial in Sungai Johor was successful, Mohamad said there was no decision on the matter yet. According to the Fisheries Department’s data, there are 150 fishermen involved in the mussel farm in Johor Baru, with a total production of 1,296 tonnes in 2021.StarMetro previously reported that Kampung Orang Asli Kuala Masai Fishermen’s Association chairman Kelah Lah had asked the state government to intervene and preserve the Sungai Masai mussel farm.
