THE First Ocean Acidification Monitoring Station for South China Sea” is the latest of a string of eight Malaysia Book of Records awards won by Gaya island-based Marine Ecology Research Centre (Merc-2) and its associated companies Bayu Aquaculture Sdn Bhd (5) and Rantau Bakat Sdn Bhd (1) since 2010.
Remember, any Malaysia Book of Records award means it’s historic – meaning the first break of its kind in the history of Malaysia.“Merc’s first record with the Malaysia Book of Records dated back to 2010 as the pioneer in Malaysia to successfully produce all seven species of endangered Giant Clams found in Malaysian waters,” noted Aquatic biologist, Alvin Wong, Project Director.
“In 2022, BASB was awarded three additional Malaysia Book of Records for being the first to produce the hatchery bred Orange Spotted Spinefoot, White Spotted Spinedfoot and the hatchery bred Vermiculated Spinefoot,” Wong listed all the previous records won so far. “The oceans are getting hotter, sour because pH is going down and also breathless, because of lack of oxygen but a lot of time people only talk about temperature, we forgot about the ocean getting sour and also getting no oxygen,” she addressed the average man-on-the-street to stress this is a serious existential matter for life at sea.
As noted earlier, Merc’s latest venture into ocean acidification monitoring comes after earlier achievements in producing and restocking endangered species and introducing more suitable marine food fish species for culture.
