Part of Hoi Huat & Usaha Fadzilat’s aquaculture business is our cultivation of sea bass (Late Calcalitus) also known as Ikan Siakap locally, which totals up about 20% of our total production. Sea Bass feeds on small fish, prawns, crabs and cuttlefish. The sea bass is an important marine species both to commercial fisheries (where it provides a valued seasonal catch for many inshore fishermen) and to aquaculture, where it is reared in lagoons (small scale production) and in industrial, offshore and inland systems. Seabass reach a commercial size of 400-700g in 5 months. The maximum size of a common bass can reach 100 cm in length and 10 kg to 12 Kg in weight. This species enjoys an amazing reputation all over world, as it is a highly popular fish for food. It is low in calories and an excellent source of protein, selenium and essential omega-3 fatty acids, while also containing vitamins B-12 and B-6.
