In this programme, we now present the grouper breeding around MawToneGyee Region in Kyusu Township near Myeik. Sea in habital groupers are popular in international market.

Groupers caught by spreading fishing nets as well as bread systematically to get marketable size are sold to the market.

The method of the breeding is floating cage culture. These cages are placed within a cubic area of 70 feet in length, 50 feet in breadth and 15 feet in high. A raft is also constructed to keep a food grinding machine having a length of 50 feet, breadth of 30 feet and a height of 18 feet.

Each cage measures 4 feet in length, 2 feet in breadth and 16 inches in height. Each raft has two wooden bars having a width of 5 inches and a thickness of 3 inches, placed upon the floats enveloped by water-proof sheets.

Next, the nets measuring 10 feet in length and breadth as well, and 5 to 10 feet in height are placed inside the 10 square feet wooden tanks, thus making a cubic shape. The nets are devoid of knots so that the fishes are not to be injured owing to friction.

The 10 inches pipes are framed into 10 square feet shape and dipped to the bottom to have a overall square shape. The wooden tanks are also weighted by anchors weighing 100 and 800 kilos respectively.
