I joined in our Center since 1997 and focused in research and dissemination. Our team research emphased on fish reproduction dan genetic improvement of eel, catfish and labyrinth fish, either introduce or indigenous species. Aquaculture development and extension were our dissemination programs. Prime result of our team was SANGKURIANG catfish, a genetic improvement using backcross strategy. The SANGKURIANG has registered as prominent fish by Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in 2004. Thousands broodfish have been distributed to Regional Broodfish Center and selected fisherfolk farm as an effort to increase production. Other researches have been conducting, i.e further genetic improvement on catfish and Indonesian gouramy, hormonal induction on artificial breeding of Osphronemus goramy, eel production and fish sperm cryopreservation.
