Peat swamp is rich with freshwater fishes. They include common snakehead
(Channa striata), betok (Anabas testudineus), swamp catfish (Clarias batrachus),
and biawan/tuakang (Helostoma temmincki). The action researches done by the
University of Palangka Raya and the Christian University of Palangka Raya comprised the enlargement of the swamp ponds and the fish pens as well as the
re-wetting infrastructures such as canal block (Fig. 28.16). The researchers also
formulated food for fish and succeeded in breading betok (Anabas sp.).
