Aquaculture Project (Udang Galah)

In my very final semester before leaving for internship next year, I am having one aquaculture project this semester. Its all about udang galah or also known Giant River Prawn.

My group name is : Prawn Enterprise SDN.BHD which consist of 5 members. 

This company was established on 10th June 1012. The location of our aquaculture project is at Kompleks Hatcheri, FPAI (Fakulti Perikanan dan Akua-Industri), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.

For the previous semester, we had an aquaculture project about CATFISH which is known as IKAN KELI in Malay. This course which is known as PRAKTIKAL AKUAKULTUR II. We hope to learn more about the aquaculture on how to produce more giant river prawn. We are distributed in 10 groups and my group is the fifth group out of the 10 groups. We have to prepare a PROPOSAL and a PRESENTATION. The proposal was the first thing that we had done before proceeding with the other task. We had presentation too. In this presentation we have to state out all the related information about our aquaculture project. Various of comments was made and this are all helpful for my group. As a conclusion, we hope that the aquaculture project is going to bring us a lot of fortune this time. 

We did our presentation on the 9th July 2012. On the 20th June 2012, we cleaned all the fiber tank that are needed in this aquaculture project. A black color tank was provided to all the groups. The tank can store about 1000 liter of water. Before storing in the giant river prawn, we need to disinfect the fiber tank with the anti chlorine powder to kill all the bacteria. After that, we placed the tank in upright position :)

At the moment my group has 2 induk betina udang galah. The eggs of the giant river prawn is orange. 

The female parent of the giant river prawn that has the brown-orange eggs is the best stage to reproduce. After the female parents release the eggs, it will be placed into another holding tank which is also known as Tangki Induk. 

After 3 days, the giant river prawn  hatchlings will be feed by using Artemia nauplii.  Total Artemia given is based on estimation. Artemia will be given in the morning and evening. At this stage, the salinity of water maintained at 17 ppt. Artemia given must be enough. If the provided Artemia is sufficient, the head of the hatchlings will be red color. On the other hand, if the amount of Artemia is not enough, the head of the hatchlings will be transparent color. This is when you have to add in the amount of artemia to prevent starvation. 

After two weeks, we will be feeding the prawns with egg custard. At this moment, Artemia still can be given in the morning and the egg custard will be given in the evening. After 3 days, we can feed the prawns completely with egg custard in the morning and evening. 

After 30 days, the hatchlings will then grow into the post larvae stage (PL). This can be identified with the shrimps swim to front and stick to the wall of the fiber tank. When the shrimps reaches this level. the water salinity will be changed to 0 ppt gradually to avoid shock. 

Well, GOOD LUCK PRAWN ENTERPRISE SDN.BHD! 

We have to make it and score well! 

Knot Test Day

Hola Hola! 

Another new day again. Waking UP early in the morning due to MR Cockroach >.<
I beg you . Please do not disturb my life anymore. I am so so scare of you. Although I am scare of you, but still I am gathering all my COURAGE to face you. 
After drinking my SHAKE, I am starting another new day again :)
I start off my day with the KNOT TEST. I was really scare but I believe that I can actually overcome it no matter what. Dear Peggy Chai, believe that you can do it ^.^
The knot test going smoothly for me but IT WAS A CRAZY MOMENT inside the test room. My dear Bestie is been emotionally harassed. I feel sorry for her but I can't do much because I am just a normal student compare to the staff. He is really over and extremely disrespectful towards all the girls in UMT (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu). This is the worst staff ever I had ever seen in my university. I just want to explain that everyone has to respect each another even if you hate he/she. 
I am going to my field trip soon visiting KEDAH, PENANG and KUANTAN. I will be looking forward for this trip. Hopefully it is going to be a beneficial and memorable trip. I will pack my luggage tomorrow late afternoon before departing from UMT on Tuesday night. 
Will update on the trip after I am back from the field trip! 
I am going to have my first test of the semester on the 29th JULY 2012. I will start study from now so that I will not be rush in the day later. 
Alright dear Blog, 
Signing off first. Love from Peggy :) 
Peace. 

My Love Story

My Love Story. Everyone does have their love story isn't it ? I don't hope for everything. Perfect guys, rich want, handsome, muscular . All this are the facts that all the girls aim in their life isn't it? But what do I actually wanted in my life? Sometimes I used to think that I might be too young for this. But when I rethink, how long am I going to avoid this??? I constantly ask myself about this matter and I finally took up the courage to face this matter. I am in love with him. I know I love him. I am not going to expose anything nor keep it mysteriously. I just want to be with him deeply in my heart. Although there might be a lot of challenge now but I am sure we are definitely going to get through it someday. Its hard but nothing is impossible. I just have to have faith in myself and believe in him too. I am currently listening to the song Wake Me Up When September Ends. This song really inspire me a lot. What makes me so interested in him? Nothing seems interesting about him actually. I also don't know how to explain it to myself and him too most of the times. I only know that in my life I am happy with him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him too. But I know that most of the people is going to say that it is too early to plan for everything. I do agree with this point too but I am not going to deny it that future is really important. What am I going to do in the rest of my life with him ? I can picture all of this. Thank you my beloved for believing in me. I am going to have faith in myself to do my best in everything so that I will succeed someday. Same goes to you too! we must do our best in achieving our dreams. I am waiting for the day to come. Always Love you only from my heart <3 Love you C.P.T :)

Weekend Here I Come

Dear Blog, its weekend again.... Today I wake up kinda late because I receive the wrong information regarding the lab session.... I was so rush but I am amazed at myself because I was able to shower, arrange my bed and put on my face toner and pimple cream... HAHA... Today lab session was pretty tired. We were doing sampling around the campus area. From the lab we went to the pond nearby the hatchery... After that we went to the Megabang Telipot Bridge and the last destination will be the beach. Spending about 2 hours outside collecting the sample makes me hungrier and more tired. I did not get to have my breakfast :X I miss my shake hahahaha... This weekend I have quite a lot of things to do. First is all the three lab report for the Food Process and then there is one more report for the Aquatic Ecology. And then this Sunday I have to go back to the lab and collect the result for the sampling and then later on I will have another three days to complete the report. I am going to divide the report into several section. I still have four more days before my MUET exam at SMK Manir. Hopefully everything is going to be smooth. I will concentrate and paid full attention during the test. I am going to work hard and hope that I have a good result. I want to get into a good university for my Degree. I want to achieve my dreams and give a good life to my family. Ah! I just remember that I am going to practice the knot! I am going to HAVE A TEST! NEXT WEEK =.= They are going to test us on the twenty knots that they taught us in such a short time. I have to practice on the knot before they are going to test on us! Actually I did practice it myself last week Saturday. :D That is the reason why I remember most of the knot that they taught us last week :D Well I know that everything comes from HARD WORK :D (Not going to deny this) All the best. Love from Peggy.

Dear Bloggie, I wake up early morning today. I had lab in the early morning. Today's lab is all about preparing and cooking the fish nugget! It was tiring but yet enjoyable. Just the surimi was kinda little. We are like what??? So little of surimi~ The process of cutting the fish into smaller pieces was tiresome and yet improving my cutting skills. A tough work yet to say. Here is the picture of fish nuggest tnat I got from the internet.

(It look REALLY NICE is't it ? ) Yet I still prefer chicken nuggets than fish nugget. The taste is just different. Maybe because of the meat texture and all the ingredients. But thanks to the garlic and red onions. I feel its much tastier! Here is the picture of my groups fish nugget !

Its my group hard work and we really appreciate everything :) Just a simple fish nugget cooking experience :) Next week we are going to have another suprise! Going to improve more this time :) All the best to GROUP 5! Love from Peggy ^.^
