During 1961-1965, fish processing advanced, largelyfor export. Frozen tuna and fish meal were produced in Penang, frozen fish in Perak, and frozen prawns in Fig, 3 - Shrimps drying under Penang sun, one way to preserve them. They bring good price because, when mixed with food, they add as much flavor as fresh shrimps. During the past few years, the fishing in- dustry has been one of the faster-growing in- dustries. Its annual growth rate during 1960-1965 was , while the aggregate pro- duction index of other commodities was The expansion resulted from the mechan- ization of fishing boats, widespread use of nets made of synthetic fiber, and improved fishing techniques. The value of fish and fish preparations ex- ported climbed from US$ million in 1960 to US$ million in 1965. About 70%of these exports were fresh, chilled, and frozen ma- rine fish. While Singapore has remained the major destination, growing markets have been created in the U. S., Japan, and Thailand. During the same period, Malaysian im- ports of fish and fish preparations remained at about US$10 million per year. Fresh, chilled, and frozen marine fish; canned fish preparations; and salted, dry, or boiled mol- luscs accountfor nearly three-fourths of total imports. The major sources of fish imports have been Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. During the First Malaysia Plan (FMP), 1966 to 1970, the annual fish catch is pre- dicted to grow at a 6% rate. FMP's fisheries program is aimed at expanding research; training fishermen to be more competent; en- couraging them to use improved equipment, gear, and other facilities; helpin
