abstract:Arowanas are freshwater bony fish of the family Osteoglossidae, also known as bonytongues. In this family of fish, the head is bony and the elongate body is covered by large, heavy scales, with a mosaic pattern of canals.
And mapping a dna profile allows the company to sell the genetic fingerprint to well-heeled Arowana fanciers for thousands of dollars extra, like a racehorse pedigree.
These discoveries paved the way for Qian Hu to increase its Arowana production by 20% to 30% every year, and it now supplies roughly a third of the global demand.
