5. TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE

Except for Respondent D who received guidance from the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) research team, none of the culturists had undergone any type of training. They acquired knowledge and experience through observation on existing farms as well as trials and errors on their own farms. For example, the Bukit Tambun culturists learned the techniques by observing the LKIM cage culture project at Pulau Aman which started operation in 1980. Thus none of them had more than 5 years of experience. For the Penang east coast culturists however, they had more years of experience especially Respondent D who had actually worked in cage culture project conducted by USM prior to working in their own cage culture farms.
