KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 7 -- Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) is cooperating with the Bukit Merah Arowana Farm (BMAF) Sdn Bhd to undertake research works on the Arowana fish this year.
UMT Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Aziz Deraman said as a result of discussions between the two parties, BMAF saw an opportunity to set up a research laboratory on the ornamental fish at the UMT.
"Currently, they are providing some funds for research works by UMT at their place (in Bukit Merah, Perak).
"However, we will endeavour to have a laboratory set up at UMT, here so that they can bring up the issue on the industry at the university," he said when met by Bernama, here today.
Aziz said the project with the BMAF was among the focus of the UMT in the industry because the UMT had the expertise in agriculture, food as well as biotechnology.
BMAF is one of the biggest Arowana ornamental fish company operating in Bukit Merah, Perak and it exports the fish to several countries such as Japan, Taiwan, China, Korea, England, and Hong Kong.
