Production of dried fish in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - a survey

A survey was undertaken to study the status of the dried fish processing industry in the East Coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu. Ten districts were visited. Overall, most fish were processed in the months of August, September and October for processors in Terengganu, and in the months of March...
