Seafood & Aquaculture Malaysia
Explore Malaysia's capture fisheries, fish farming, seafood processing and trade. Discover product categories, compare dated data and reach the right industry or official resource for your next step.
The True Malaysia is an independent information platform. Institutions, company examples and agreement resources listed here are editorial referrals — none implies a partnership, an endorsement, a certificate check or a supplier approval.
English is this page's source language. Figures, source titles, table references, publisher names, URLs, periods and verification wording are held in their original form in both languages.

From waters and farms to buyers
Malaysia's fisheries economy connects marine and inland capture, freshwater and coastal aquaculture, landing and handling services, processing, distribution and trade. The statistics on this page describe different parts of that chain rather than one interchangeable seafood market size.
Capture fisheries
Catch landed from marine and inland fishing activity. Marine landings stay separate from farm production throughout this page.
Aquaculture
Cultivated aquatic products from ponds, cages and tanks, together with mollusc and seaweed systems. Seaweed materially affects the reported tonnage.
Processing and trade
Fish, shrimp, molluscs and prepared products serve different buyers and handling requirements. The published trade basket also includes non-food and upstream items.
Dated Measures
Production snapshot
Six figures from the 2025 fisheries tables, each with its own definition and table reference. They describe different activities and are not interchangeable.
| Indicator | Period | Value | Definition | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marine capture landings | 2025 | 1,393,398 tonnes | All national marine landing categories; not aquaculture | 2. JADUAL PENDARATAN IKAN 2025 .pdf, Table 4.2 |
| Inland capture landings | 2025 | 9,912.19 tonnes | Inland capture only; excludes farmed freshwater output | 5. JADUAL PERIKANAN DARAT 2025.pdf, Table 33.1 |
| Reported aquaculture production | 2025 | 500,155.54 tonnes | Includes 212026.25 wet-weight tonnes of seaweed; not fish-only | 6. JADUAL AKUAKULTUR 2025.pdf, Table 14.1 |
| Cultivated seaweed | 2025 | 212,026.25 wet-weight tonnes | Seaweed is included in the reported aquaculture total | Table 14.1 / 28.2 |
| Freshwater aquaculture production | 2025 | 115,107.42 tonnes | DOF Table 14.1 freshwater subtotal | Table 14.1 |
| Aquaculture wholesale value | 2025 | RM4,414,022,080 | Wholesale value, not retail sales, exports or GDP; source RM thousand converted to MYR | Table 14.2 |
What the aquaculture total actually contains
The reported aquaculture figure includes wet-weight seaweed. Subtracting the seaweed component gives a remainder this page labels as derived — and that remainder is aquatic-animal production, not a finfish-only measure. The three numbers are always shown together so none of them can be quoted alone as Malaysia's fish output.

Reported aquaculture production
212,026.25
Cultivated seaweed

Aquaculture excluding seaweed
Derived
Capture is not farming. Marine landings, inland capture and aquaculture are three separate measures and are never added into one production figure.
These are 2025 production figures. The trade figures further down the page are 2024 and come from a different publication. The two are never combined into one annual snapshot.
What to Specify
Fish, shellfish and product explorer
Eleven product groups and the question that usually decides the conversation. These cards are not a scientific identification guide, not a species-level production ranking and not a claim that every product is locally farmed.
Showing 11 of 11 product groups.
Shrimp and prawns
Malaysia-facing terminology
Udang; tiger and whiteleg shrimp are documented marine farm categories [SEA04]
Whole, peeled, deveined, frozen and prepared; specify species, size/count, treatment and net weight
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Tilapia
Malaysia-facing terminology
Tilapia
Whole or fillet; define actual variety, size and freshwater farming source
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Freshwater and river catfish
Malaysia-facing terminology
Keli / patin are separate statistical categories
Whole, portions and prepared; specify species rather than ordering generic “catfish”
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Seabass
Malaysia-facing terminology
Siakap
Whole and fillets; specify source, size, harvest condition and cold-chain needs
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Grouper
Malaysia-facing terminology
Kerapu groups in DOF aquaculture tables [SEA01]
Live, chilled and frozen; confirm exact species, lawful sourcing and handling requirements
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Tuna and tuna-like groups
Malaysia-facing terminology
DOSM’s tuna basket covers multiple groups [SEA03]
Chilled/frozen whole fish, portions and prepared products; verify species and catch documentation
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Mackerel and pelagic fish
Malaysia-facing terminology
Source groups include kembong/pelaling and tenggiri [SEA03]
Whole, frozen or processed; verify the exact species and buyer pack
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Squid and cuttlefish
Malaysia-facing terminology
Sotong: source grouping differs from exact biological names
Whole, cleaned, tubes, rings and prepared products; define species, cleaning and size
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Crab
Malaysia-facing terminology
Ketam; marine and mud-crab products require exact identification
Live, chilled, frozen and meat; specify species, grade and extraction method
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Molluscs and bivalves
Malaysia-facing terminology
Kerang, siput sudu and tiram appear in DOF farm tables [SEA01]
In-shell and meat formats; confirm harvest area, testing and handling controls
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Seaweed
Malaysia-facing terminology
Rumpai laut
Wet, dried and ingredient applications; specify species, moisture, cleanliness and intended use
Illustrative product group; not a scientific species identification plate
Source group labels are not biological synonyms. The mackerel, tuna, sotong and sardine/selayang baskets each cover more than one species, and “Sardine / Selayang” is a statistical label rather than a universal name. Confirm the scientific species and the actual origin before a transaction.
Pomfret, torpedo scad, threadfin bream, red snapper, stingray and the sardine/selayang group appear in the consumption table further down. Sea cucumber, cockle, mussel and oyster categories also appear in the published aquaculture reporting. They are covered there rather than given an invented image and scientific name here.
Systems
Aquaculture systems and upstream supply
Five things to settle before comparing farms or suppliers. Success depends on the actual site and its operating controls, not on the system type.
Pond production
Check the water source, stocking plan, seed, feed, water monitoring and effluent arrangement. Shrimp and fish systems differ.
Marine and freshwater cages
Confirm site permission, carrying capacity, water quality, operational access and weather exposure with the relevant local authority. An attractive coastline carries no implied entitlement to use it.
Hatcheries and seed
Ask about broodstock, health documentation, batch traceability, transport and acclimation. An SPF claim covers the documented pathogens and that batch — it is not a guarantee against all disease.
Feed and fish health
Compare the feed specification for the exact life stage and species. Take veterinary and technical guidance rather than copying a dosage or expecting a health outcome.
Technology
The June 2026 shrimp-sector release discusses recirculating aquaculture systems, connected water monitoring and specific-pathogen-free development. These are technology directions, not equipment performance or return guarantees.
The one farmed-shrimp figure, and its scope
Farmed marine shrimp production was reported as 57,047.80 tonnes in 2025, matching the combined tiger and whiteleg rows in the 2025 aquaculture table. It is narrower than the combined shrimp supply category used in the consumption table below, so the two are not compared.

Domestic Demand
What is available for Malaysian consumers?
Per-capita consumption here measures the amount of food available per person per year through supply-and-utilisation accounts. It is an apparent availability measure, not a survey of what each person eats.

Production / Imports / Exports: tonnes · Availability: kg/person/year · 2025
A dash is the source's own missing value and is kept as missing. It is never read as zero.
These are selected categories. Adding the fifteen availability figures does not give Malaysia's total fish consumption, and no such total is offered here.
Domestic buyer pathways to investigate
- Wet-market and wholesale buyers
- Supermarkets
- Restaurants and institutional kitchens
- Processors
- E-commerce and specialist distributors
Qualification depends on species, price and grade, pack, remaining shelf life and delivery conditions. This is editorial buyer segmentation, not a measured market share.
Trade
Trade intelligence
The published 2024 basket is broader than edible seafood. Reading it as a seafood export total is the most common mistake this section exists to prevent.
Processing and value-added products
Agree the product form before comparing offers. Whole chilled fish, frozen fillets, cleaned squid, peeled shrimp, cooked products and prepared seafood have different yields, handling needs and buyer specifications.
Settle all of this in writing
- Processing method
- Glazing
- Additives and treatments
- Net versus gross weight
- Trim and yield
- Pack format
- Allergens
- Shelf life
- Temperature controls
Individually quick frozen describes a freezing format. It is not a certification and not a guarantee of product quality.
Private-label development should define recipe and product ownership, artwork, label responsibility, minimum order, testing, traceability and acceptance criteria. No company on this page has a verified universal minimum order, lead time or blanket private-label offer.
Broad fishery-commodity basket, 2024
| Measure | Quantity | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Exports | 403,006.7 tonnes | RM4,389.92 million |
| Imports | 662,183.77 tonnes | RM6,577.33 million |
The value basket includes ornamental fish, fishmeal, aquatic plants, seaweed and miscellaneous categories. The published tonne totals already exclude ornamental fish, which is measured in pieces. These are not strict edible-seafood totals, not aquaculture sales and not export quantities of domestically farmed fish.

Export quantity / Import quantity: tonnes · 2024
Ornamental fish is counted in pieces and is shown separately below the tonne rows, so it can never be read as part of a tonne total.
| Publisher's category | Export quantity | Export value | Import quantity | Import value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ornamental fish pieces | 33,129,001 | RM66.21 million | 55,923,087 | RM61.76 million |
“n.e.s.” means not elsewhere specified in the source classification. These are publisher categories, not species-level totals, and no single HS code is assigned to them here.
The 2025 selected-fisheries table uses a different commodity basis. The two series are not joined to infer growth.
Cold chain and export logistics
Protect product condition from landing or harvest through storage, processing and dispatch. Agree the buyer's temperature range, monitoring method, pack protection, remaining shelf life and receiving checks.
Establish responsibility before shipment
- Icing, chilling or freezing
- Temperature logs
- Cold-store handling
- Loading
- Transit contingency
- Inspection
- Rejected goods
Live animals require species-specific transport and welfare planning. A normal refrigerated shipment does not meet every live-fish requirement.
Destinations
Export destinations and import origins, 2024
Every row below refers to the whole fishery-commodity basket. None is a shrimp-, tuna- or grouper-only country ranking, and the origin of an import says nothing about what Malaysia produces.

Market Access
Trade agreements and market access
Seventeen official MITI agreement resources, each checked on 12 October 2026. Seafood treatment depends on the species and product form, the classification, the destination schedule, the origin rule and the required proof — never on a sector-level badge.
A practical shipment sequence
- Specify the product and its HS classification.
- Confirm admissibility and facility requirements for the destination.
- Check the relevant tariff schedule and the origin rule.
- Prepare the required origin proof.
- Confirm health, catch, permit and importer documents.
- Calculate remaining taxes and logistics.

Geography
Regional production and sourcing
Eight selected state records of reported aquaculture output, including seaweed. This is a selection drawn from the published table, not a complete state ranking.
| State | Reported aquaculture | of which seaweed | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sabah | 221,776.1 | 212,003 | Seaweed-dominated reported aquaculture total; do not compare this with fish-only state output |
| Perak | 79,873.87 | 0 | Freshwater and brackishwater systems; official state sourcing resource |
| Pulau Pinang | 64,596.17 | 20.88 | Pond and marine cage aquaculture systems |
| Kedah | 31,639.31 | 0 | Pond and other culture systems |
| Johor | 28,974.92 | 1.9 | Mixed freshwater/brackishwater systems |
| Selangor | 22,134.78 | 0.47 | Freshwater and brackishwater systems |
| Pahang | 14,308.17 | 0 | Freshwater cages and other culture systems |
| Sarawak | 13,525.46 | 0 | Freshwater and marine resources; confirm the relevant local authority |
tonnes · 2025
Sabah's total is heavily influenced by wet-weight seaweed, so it is not comparable with a fish-only state output. Perak and Penang have different culture-system mixes. Compare the actual product and system before choosing a sourcing region.
For the East Coast, Johor and East Malaysia, use the appropriate state fisheries resources and verify the supplier's actual premises.
No generated map is shown. An output figure does not indicate an available farm site or an investment permit, and placing an illustration on a map would imply a precision this page does not have.
Rules
Policy, licensing and public support
Eight resource areas, each a starting point rather than a determination. Freshwater, marine and East Malaysian arrangements can involve different authorities.
| Policy or resource | How to use it | Source |
|---|---|---|
| National Agrofood Policy / DAN 2.0, 2021–2030 | Fisheries and aquaculture sit within the policy's agrofood development scope. Policy targets are not achieved outputs. | SEA17 — DOF — DAN 2.0 2021–2030 and fisheries climate action plan 2024–2030 listed; expired 2021–2025 plan not presented as new (opens in a new tab)SEA18 — KPKM — NAP/DAN 2.0 policy includes fisheries/aquaculture; resilient, technology-enabled agrofood orientation (opens in a new tab) |

Project review questions
- Lawful site and water access
- Fishery or aquaculture licence or registration
- Seed and species controls
- Environmental requirements
- Biosecurity
- Employee safety
- Landing and processing arrangements
- Destination-market conditions
These are due-diligence questions, not a legal conclusion about a specific project. Sabah and Sarawak deserve their own referral paths; the peninsula's procedure is not a universal permit checklist, and no claim is made that a Malaysian seafood activity receives a subsidy or a tax holiday.
Assurance
Standards, certification and assurance
Six kinds of check, each with its own authority and its own scope. None is interchangeable with another.
myGAP aquaculture
The scheme page and a dated premises register. Verify the exact farm, its registration or certificate number, the activity and the validity. The general scheme page includes older standard references, so confirm the applicable current edition before building a compliance checklist.
myGMP feed and fishmeal
The listing carries older certificate periods despite some active labels. It is not evidence that those certificates remain valid today, and it is not interchangeable with processing GMP.
Fish Quality Certification
An EU-linked supply-chain assurance framework. Its discussion of events in 2008 is historical and is not published here as a current blanket EU-ban claim. Confirm current product and facility conditions with the relevant authorities.
Food safety
HACCP, GMP and MeSTI resources for the relevant processing activity. Assess the exact facility and scope; no sector-wide compliance claim follows from the scheme existing.
Halal
Check ingredients, processing, premises and certificate scope where halal assurance is required. The presence of fish, or a general halal claim, is not proof of a packaged product's current certification.
Testing
The laboratory directory and the relevant accreditation resources. Confirm the actual analytical scope and the accreditation before commissioning work.
Buyer-requested schemes such as ASC, BAP, MSC or BRCGS can be added only with verified issuer resources and supplier-specific evidence. Nothing on this page establishes that a listed supplier holds any of them, and no certificate mark or logo is reproduced.
Provenance
Traceability, responsible sourcing and IUU
IUU means illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. For a purchase, connect the supplier, the species, the source vessel or farm, the harvest or landing record, the processing lot and the shipment documents.
Ask for evidence suited to the product
- Lawful catch or farm source
- Origin and harvest details
- Lot records
- Any required catch or health documentation
- Worker safety and welfare controls
SEA16 — DOF — IUU resource; no unsupported current international status badges (opens in a new tab)
Keep farm assurance separate from wild-capture sustainability: they answer different questions and are evidenced differently.
Traceability software is useful only when the underlying records are accurate and checked. No green sustainability badge, “IUU-free” claim or international approval appears on this page without current supporting evidence, which means none appears.
Verify protected-species and market rules rather than assuming a product name settles legality.
R&D and Skills
Research, skills and technology
Starting points for a technical conversation. Confirm the relevant research team, the available service, the training date and the commercial terms directly — a listing is not a ready programme.
Development questions worth scoping
- Seed quality
- Selective breeding
- Feed efficiency
- Water monitoring
- Disease diagnosis
- Processing yield
- Waste handling
- Traceability
- Climate exposure
These are editorial investigation areas, not promises of a proven technology outcome. The illustrations in this section are generic and do not portray a real campus, laboratory or institutional partnership.

Investment
Investment orientation
Seven workstreams worth evaluating before any capital decision.
- Value-added seafood processing
- Cold-chain reliability
- Hatchery quality
- Feed
- Water monitoring
- Testing
- Resource efficiency
Evaluate all of these first
- Actual buyer demand
- Operating costs
- Biological risk
- Site constraints
- Permissions
Use the relevant food-processing investment resource and the fisheries or state authorities for activity-specific conversations. General food-processing approval figures are not seafood-only investment values, and no tax-exemption period, foreign-ownership threshold, return forecast or project eligibility is verified here.

A curated directory, not an assertion that every local association in Malaysia has been enumerated. Use the official fishermen-association directory for national, state and area coverage rather than relying on a name invented to fill a gap.
MADA here means the Malaysia Aquaculture Development Association, not the Muda Agricultural Development Authority. Its historical document establishes identity, not current membership terms or leadership.
Entries whose link or page could not be confirmed
These records are shown with the pack's own wording. A timeout, a failed page fetch or a historical document is recorded as exactly that, and each needs a current working-link check before public release.

Next Steps
Buyer pathway
Eight steps, in order. Each one is cheaper than discovering its problem at the next.
1 / 8
Specify the exact species and product, the origin, wild or farmed status, format, size or count and intended use.
2 / 8
Define the buyer market, pack, volume, temperature and delivery conditions.
3 / 8
Check product admissibility, facility approval and required certificates with the competent authorities and the importer.
4 / 8
Shortlist by demonstrated process and product fit; verify the exact legal entity and premises.
5 / 8
Agree samples, inspection and testing, acceptable treatments, net weight and quality criteria.
6 / 8
Compare written minimum order, lead time, price, payment, delivery terms and landed cost.
7 / 8
Confirm traceability, health, catch and origin documentation and cold-chain responsibilities.
8 / 8
Trial the agreed product and inspect performance before increasing volumes.

Questions worth settling early
Is the aquaculture figure all fish?
No. The published total includes wet-weight seaweed, and this page shows the seaweed component separately alongside a clearly derived remainder.
Does the export total cover only edible seafood?
No. It is the broader fishery-commodity basket, including fishmeal, ornamental fish and aquatic plants. Use the category table for the product you need.
Does per-capita availability measure how much everyone eats?
No. It estimates food available per person through supply-and-utilisation accounts. It is not individual dietary-survey intake.
Does an FTA replace export permits or health requirements?
No. Verify tariff and origin treatment and the product-specific regulatory conditions separately.
Are these certified or approved suppliers?
No. The company records support discovery. Check credentials, validity, capacity and suitability directly with each company.
Are the fish images scientific identification plates?
No. They are illustrative product-group visuals. Verify the exact species independently.
Evidence
Sources and editorial methodology
Production uses the 2025 fisheries tables; broader trade uses the 2024 workbooks; selected consumption and commodity quantities use the 2025 release of 29 September 2026. Periods and scope remain separate throughout. Company activities are attributed to their own publications. Images illustrate sector concepts and do not document named facilities. Checked 12 October 2026.
5 register entries record a timeout, a failed page fetch, a homepage-only read or a historical document (SEA18, SEA23, SEA25, SEA30, GEN-S29). They are shown with that wording and are not treated as verified.
18 register entries are not cited by a row on this page. They support prose or are held as referrals, and stay in the register so the evidence trail is complete.
The Thailand sector page was used as a design and functional reference only. No Malaysian figure, institution, image or sentence comes from it.
