On January 23, 2010 the Tarpaulin Fish Farm had visitors from Surabaya (East Java) and
Malinau Regency (East Borneo). The visitors were looking around the fish farm.
At the time of their visit to the fish farm, the ponds were in the water filling process. The water was taken from the Papah River, a narrow river about 100 meters from the fish farm. "The cultivation of the freshwater fish using the tarpaulin fish ponds is so interesting," said Ir. Helmi Darjanto MSc, who is an expert in soil engineering and groundwater.
The visitor also had the chance to see the water suction process. On that day the Tarpaulin Fish Farm has an engine generator and 2 submersible drainage pumps. It's not easy to have the water which in accordance with requirements for the fish ponds but the Tarpaulin Fish Farm keeps learning, work hard, struggle and has support from the Fisheries Department of the Kulon Progo government so the problem is overcome gradually.
"We are going to use this technology in Malinau Regency because we have the available area, including the peat lands that have the potential to be developed." explained Ir. Amir, a local government official from Malinau Regency. "In our regency, we cultivate Patin (a kind of freshwater catfish) and Tilapia fish. There are, however, only a few fish farms that cultivate catfish and gouramy," said Ir. Yahya, a consultant for the Malinau government.
The visitors also had the chance to taste the barbecue fish. "This is truly delicious barbecue fish. It doesn't have the smell of mud either," said Darjanto's wife. "We have to come back to this fish farm again one day," said Ir. Yahya. The other visitors, Ir. Helmi Darjanto and Ir. Amir, agreed.
