tate-owned fishery firm Perikanan Nusantara (Perinus) exhibited a giant yellowfin tuna weighing around 40 kilograms during the Indonesia Business and Development Expo held for four days at the Jakarta Convention Center in Senayan, Central Jakarta, from Thursday to Sunday.
Visitors attending the expo were curious to see and touch the giant fish, a very rare lifetime opportunity for them.
“This yellowfin tuna is amazing. We have to support Indonesia’s fishery products,” Jakarta resident Hapotosan Jonathan told The Jakarta Post at the convention center on Sunday.
Perinus corporate secretary Sunarto said the fishery firm’s workers caught the giant yellowfin tuna on Bitung waters in North Sulawesi.
“We auctioned the fish to visitors here. Unfortunately, nobody bought it until the closing of the expo,” Sunarto told the Post Sunday.
Perinus is among 102 state-owned firms participating in the expo. Apart from exhibiting the giant fish, the fishery company also offered sea products such as tuna steak, fish balls and fish sausage.
“We sold 250 gram tuna steak slices at Rp 50,000 (US$ 3.7),” Sunarto said. (rez/ebf)
