Kenyir Lake is one of the biggest man-made lakes in Malaysia. Its construction completed in 1985 and it is being used to harness and generate hydro-electric power. Those days this area was the forest and had a few villages. It is located 80km from Kuala Terengganu, the state capital.
Kenyir Lake has many things to offer for the visitors. One of them is the aquaculture project. This economic project can offer visitors to learn how the cage fish were farmed until they were sold to the buyers.

The area covered by this project is quite extensive.

The fish that are being reared here.
It is tilapia...
This tilapia is given special food twice a day. It takes six months to complete the rearing cycle.
If you are interested to visit this area, take a cab or hire a car and go to Pengkalan Gawi. When you reach Pengkalan Gawi, take a boat to Como River. There you are, you will see this aquaculture project. Happy travel.
