No full textCurrent issues in aquaculture: lessons from Malaysia
Get PDFAquaculture in Malaysia has become a top 15 of global producers with 521,000 tonnes of total aquaculture production. As a world producer, it is crucial to learn the foundation and current challenges encountered by the sector. This paper address six major issues and challenges of the aquaculture sector in Malaysia specifically issues of fish stock depletion, climate changes, current diseases, media influences in the sector, non-compliance feeding practiced and poor interaction between stakeholders. The methodology involves searching the divergent trusted database and related information using a most popular search engine that covers selected journals including resources from fisheries authorities: Department of Fisheries Malaysia, Food, and Agriculture Organization of The United Nation and WorldFish Center. A combination of this findings, newest technology application will be suggested as accurate and timely information on managing aquaculture systems
Overview of edible bird's nests and their contemporary issues
Get PDFEdible bird's nest (EBN) is a traditional Chinese cuisine that attracts numerous attentions at the local point of
view extending to worldwide level. Huge demand from EBN enables it to secure name labels among different
types of other foodstuffs, which were found to be rich with carbohydrate, protein and amino acid. Today, EBN
has been used as ingredients in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Malaysia is the world's third largest
supplier of EBN after Thailand and Indonesia. Therefore, the government included certain initiatives in order to
comply with several laws and standards as fundamental guidelines. Currently, contemporary EBN issues are
becoming a pandemic in this industry and create chaos for consumers and operators. The issues include adulterations,
banning, integrity of halal and haram, allergic reactions and heavy metal intoxication. The researchers
identified several approaches in order to detect and authenticate EBN using advanced technologies and high-end
instrumentations. The approaches were improved by certain chemometric analysis, which produces convincing
and reliable data. Current situation and future views of EBN are also discussed in the study
Transroyal: multi-inter-trans-disciplinary geo-biosphere research initiatives in the Royal Belum and Temengor Forest Complex (RBTFC) Gerik Perak
No full textIntegrated research on biosphere as a result of human and natural activities in the tropics is very challenging. This paper presents multi-inter-trans-disciplinary (MIT) research initiatives carried out by TRANSROYAL focusing on the terrestrial- and aquatic ecosystem including human livelihoods in the Royal Belum-Temengor Forest Complex, Perak. Despite its status as a mega-biodiversity area, only few attempts have been made to conduct a centralized and integrated research to support the resource management, sustainable developments and climate change. This study provides a better insight into MIT approaches for a better understanding of the ecological system and improving human interaction in a changing environment
Development of a mobile aquaculture management systems for performance monitoring of aquaculture players
Get PDFTowards achieving National Transformation 2050 for Malaysia's smart communities 2050 with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Malaysia aquaculture industry has become a targeted industry for the fast-growing food industry in the digital revolution that ranked in the top 15 world producers in 2014 with an estimated 521,000 tonnes of total aquaculture production. It is aligned to the 11th Malaysia Plan under the National Agrofood Policy (NAP), 2011-2020. However, in this recent years, the aquaculture sector in Malaysia is facing serious challenges in environmental issues and managing aquaculture systems during disease outbreak and disaster. This is due to lack of timely shared information among aquaculture players. For the purpose of the study, this paper used to address a mobile web application innovation as a disruptive technology to manage aquaculture systems in order to share the useful information of aquaculture issues on the right time and to the right person. Based on Design Science Research philosophy, Generic Design Cycle applied as the research methodology to develop mobile application development. Therefore, the advantages of the innovation and the significant impact to the industry also highlighted in this paper
