MoedjairorMujair (1890–1957) is a Javanese inventor who in 1939 was the first to culture the fish species Tilapia zillii, at the mouth of the Serang River, in the northern reaches of Java Island.[citation needed]

Moedjair (1890-1957)

Moedjair was born Iwan Dalauk in 1890 in Blitar, East Java; he died there in 1957.

Experimentation with fish[edit]

Oreochromis mossambicus or "Java tilapia" firsh cultivate at freshwater in Java island by Moedjair.

In 1939, Mudjair went looking for fish at the river estuary along coast. He noticed a strange fish that fed its children when in danger and spit back when they reached safety. Wishing to bring a specimen home, Moedjair questioned whether the fish would survive a non-saltwater environment. Experimenting with freshwater habitats, he demonstrated 4 fish can live in saltwater after 11 experiments. These 4 fish, released in rivers and lakes, quickly grew in population. To honor his work, the fish was named mujair in Indonesian, and mujair is now a popular freshwater fish in Indonesia.[1]
