“There’s always been a great demand for kelah, especially among anglers. You do not consider yourself an angler until you have caught a kelah,” he said during an interview after the gallery’s opening yesterday.
Galeri Kelah also features a nursery and hatchery for the farm’s partners — Bung Hatta University in Indonesia, Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia and Universiti Islam Antarabangsa — to conduct research into the ecologically-sensitive kelah.
