Identity and geography
CITES registration: A-MY-506. Place recorded at broad scale: Melaka, Malaysia. Registered species: Scleropages formosus. This is an operator record, not an authenticated strain or individual specimen.
History in official registration
The CITES register records establishment on 05 February 1987 and CITES registration on 01 March 1998. Dates are taken from an official registry entry; current operational status and renewal/permit validity have not been independently verified.
Reported breeding-stock origin
Initially the breeding stock was obtained locally from the wild. It has been supplemented from other farms/aquaria
This is a registered operation's origin-of-stock statement. It does NOT establish whether a specific fish's genetic pedigree, parent IDs, subspecies identity or advertised color strain can be authenticated.
Marking and traceability
All specimens are marked using coded microchips (PIT) programmed with an identification code
Microchip practices were described in the registry at the time of recording. Buyers need individual identifiers and current lawful export/import documents; a registration code or microchip alone is not legal authorization.
Breeding program and food
This operation's own water parameters, breeding diet, parent combinations, egg-yield records, selective-line methods and present projects are NOT documented in this registry entry. A separate Malaysian government research trial describes concrete-tank breeding but must not be misattributed to this operator.
Strains, awards and competitions
No tagged strain-to-founder pedigree or organizer-issued championship result was verified for this operation. Claimed inventions, winner titles and commercial line names remain unverified, not zero awards.
