Arowana farm harvesting visit - GML

2009-09-21T17:50:00.000-07:00

The farm - GML

The place where the brooder lives, protected by fans, nets

The sign that show how aggressive the fish is (Just to scare of the children)

The Boss of the farm, telling us the history of the farm & his stock (Fish). According to his estimate of cost of running the farm, ie. $2m "wow!!!"

The royal guard of the farm. Barking no stop when we near the gate to the heaven of Arowana

The photographer of the day & is not a easy job I said

The harvesting process begin, 1st the net to surround the pond in order to catch the brooder

Laying the net, this mean that you have to dip yourself into the pond

The boss when into the pond himself to lay net. I wonder how many boss will do that?

Waiting waiting & waiting

still laying the net

still......

The Audience waiting to see the performance of the harvesting of gold

The camera man with lots of insects on the body. heeeeeeeee

I call the shot as "Model of the day" Want to know why?

Cos, the path is very shaky when he walk, so all of us actually waiting for him to fell into the pond. And at the moment, all camera is on him. haaaaaaaaaaaa

The worker is shifting the house that for arowana to hide

Finally, the pond is surrounded by the net

Next, pull the net higher to prevent arowana to jump out. Which I saw of one them jump across the net even is already very tall up. But my skill is not up to the standard so no photo to show :(

The jump begin, 123 jump

Up & up we jump

Checking for male arowana with babies. Surprise right? The male one will keep all the egg in his mouth till their children able to be swim by it own. The female job here is to lay egg & that all.

The owner have to force open the mouth of the male arowana to retreive the youngs. During the period of holding the children, the male will not be eating until the children are able to swim (is around 2 months). Touching right?

Checking for another male arowana

Here you go, job done & go have some rest

The harvest - a bag of gold

Why harvest? As the success rate is low in nature (ie when the father fish release the children, other fishes, birds will eat them) So in account term of view, the best is to put them in tanks so is protected.

The nursery (the secret place of arowana farm), so we are lucky that the owner allow us to visit. This is the place where the "gold" will be formed

another view of the Nursery

The little ones that have just harvested. They are still in their egg sac and still not able to swim

A few weeks later, this will be what they are like

Within 3~4 months, this is what we see in the local fish shop or in the farm display tank

Another view of the young fish

Groomed & ready to find new owners

See the price you will know what I means - "GOLD"

This is why people like arowana. Look at the 2 pictures below you will know what I means. The "Gold" & "Red"

Hope you like it.
