Catfish or Ikan keli breeding next money making

Catfish or Ikan Keli breeding is expected to be the next money making machine in my country especially in the State of Terengganu. I think this will be booming industry in agriculture in Terengganu. This is because more and more people in Kuala Terengganu are eating catfish or ikan keli. In Terengganu, people make catfish percik one of the popular dish in Kuala Terengganu.

Catfish is a fresh water fish. This fish can be found in paddy field during rainy season. They said that, catfish can survive in a very little water. This fish is easy to breed because catfish seldom have any disease. Thus catfish is no easy to die.

Some people don't like to eat catfish or ikan keli because it's muddy smell or taste. However I know one place in Terengganu were the catfish there is not like other catfish because this catfish is breed along the river of Kuala Terengganu. This type of breeding, in fresh and running water, give a good taste and less or no muddy smell to the catfish.

Normally, catfish was breeded in a pond or in canvas. However in a village, Kampung BeladaKolam, Manir , Terengganu, Catfish is breeding a long the river of Kuala Terengganu, thus there no smell of muddy and the fish is fresh and clean due to the running river water.

In Kota Bharu, Kelantan there a new company to process catfish into sardine. Sooner or later they will need a lot of catfish for their raw material to make sardine. There ore this is good opportunity because not so many people involve in catfish breeding.


Penternakan Ikan Keli merupakan satu bidang yang mempunyai potensi yang besar. Di Terengganu penternakan ikan keli disungai telah dimulai, terutama di Kampung Belada Kolam, Manir, Terengganu. Penternak disini tiada masaalah untuk menjual ikan keli mereka, kerana sentiasa mendapat sambutan baik dipasaran.DiKelantan pula sudah wujud sayarikat yang akan mengetin ikan keli untukdijadikan ikan sardin dan akan dipasarkan keseluruh dunia. Saya yakin kilang ini akan memerlukan bekalan ikan keli yang banyak dan ini merupakan potensi untuk buat wang yang baik pada masa ini.
