KUCHING: A group of researchers has successfully found a way of multiplying the yellow pufferfish population through the induced breeding technique, the first in the world.

Assoc Prof Dr Samsur Mohamad from the Department of Aquatic Sciences, Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), said he did the research together with his former PhD student, Dr Ahmad Syafiq Ahmad Nasir, and the Sarawak Fisheries Research Institute.

Samsur said induced breeding of the yellow pufferfish was aimed at making it easier for researchers to follow the development of this species and at assisting the aquaculture sector.

“The induced breeding technique is used to obtain yellow pufferfish fry as currently, we have not found the eggs in their wild or natural habitat.

“Through this technique, we can see how the puffer fish fry develops, starting with the fertilisation process until they grow into about two centimetres long.

“This research which took more than three years is a success as the induced breeding technique has never been discovered anywhere else in the world, and even the scientific articles in local or international journals only touched on tetrodotoxin (found in pufferfish),” he told Bernama here recently.
