FISHERMEN in Kampung Pasir Gudang Baru have shifted from catching fish to harvesting mussels at a farm near Kampung Orang Asli Kuala Masai in Masai, Johor.

Southern Johor Fishermen Association chairman Azli Aziz said this had become an annual affair due to the monsoon season, as most of the fishermen would not be able to go out to sea.
