Yes, in our area, milkfish and grouper are generally raised, but only when there are plenty of grouper fry in the sea.

People usually go out to catch grouper fry and net them to sell. They also know exactly when the grouper hatch and bring them back to the sea to sell, while others are kept.

When grouper is harvested, they quickly become rich because the price is high, unlike milkfish.

Crabs are expensive during Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. We even once sold a single jumbo crab for Rp 400,000.

Unfortunately, we no longer keep them because they are often stolen.
