In his family’s 40 years of fish farming, Heng Seng Chew has never seen a storm like the one that hit Penang on November 4 and 5.
The winds were so strong that they damaged the marine fish cages in his farm.
Winds at 40mph caused serious damage to fish farms that dot the coast between Batu Kawan in southern Seberang Prai and Pulau Aman, where pricey fish like sek pan (grouper), ang cho (golden snapper), and ikan merah (red snapper) are bred.
Strong waves smashed into the cages, causing nets to tear and allowing the fish to escape into the sea.
To add insult to injury, fish farmers say some people took advantage of the situation to “rob” them.
