KARAWANG - The Fisheries Service of Karawang Regency, West Java said the potential of milkfish is quite good to be developed in this region because its quality has been tested and can compete with milkfish from other regions.
"The potential of milkfish in Karawang is quite large, the quality is also good. So it is very feasible to continue to be developed," said Acting Head of the Karawang Fisheries Service, Abuh Bukhari, quoted from Antara, Saturday, June 4.
He said that until now in Karawang there are 18,000 hectares of milkfish ponds spread over nine sub-districts around Karawang, starting from Pakisjaya District in the north to Cilamaya Wetan in the east of Karawang.
According to him, milkfish is a prima donna for the community, especially in Karawang. Almost all people in Karawang like to eat milkfish.
He also explained, milkfish from Karawang has a significant difference. This makes the price of milkfish in Karawang more expensive than other areas.
"The fish don't smell like mud, it's typical of Karawang milkfish," he said.
Milkfish from Karawang certainly does not smell of mud, because the processing of the pond or pond is good. Farmers always carry out mud removal every two years, every time they plant.
"So in the pond there is no excessive mud sedimentation, and the fish don't smell like mud," said Abuh.
