Introduced by the Boh Tea Plantation Ltd., Cameron Highlands to revive their recreational program. About 1,000 fry were imported from Florida and raised in the Boh hatchery to fingerling size before being released in two lakes previously used for trout. Angling was permitted after one year and mature adults weighing about 300-350 g were caught. There were no reports of the same fish downstream of the lakes. Fish are presumed to be restricted to the lakes.
