Perishability of fresh fish has become one major concern for both fish industry players as well as the consumers. If it is not properly handled and preserved, fish will be deteriorated and will lose its quality attributes. This is the point where the halalan tayyiban (lawful and wholesome) status of fish is depreciated and at the same time it affects the consumer purchase intention. This article discussed the perishability of fish, phenomenon of fish spoilage and its phases and methods which can be used to detect the deterioration. In addition, Islamic perspective on the importance of preserving the food safety, quality and halalan tayyiban status of raw fish or fish product along the processing line until reaching the consumer is also discussed according to the Maqasid al Shariah (The Objectives of Shari’ah) by using Qawaid Fiqhiyyah (Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence). The method used is the library research which includes the observation from Islamic perspectives. This is in line with achieving the highest objectives of Shariah, which is to protect the farmers, the environment, the aquaculture and the consumers. The output of the study may serve MyGAP and MS 1500:2009.
In line with the increasing halal demand around the world, one of the sectors that attract the halal world attention is the freshwater aquaculture for fish food. The demand goes higher day by day as the marine catch start to deplete and world needs an alternative to suffice the demand for protein supply. This paper discusses the overview of current freshwater scenario in Malaysia and reported issues regarding the depreciation of halal of freshwater fish exposed by media for the last few years up until the recent time. The issue of water pollution which is synonymous in freshwater aquaculture activity is also briefly discussed. Moreover, this paper also outlines the potential issue that is often overseen even by the farm operator in order to obtain the halal farm certified. Solution is also given in this paper by proposing the application of halal block chain technology in freshwater aquaculture sector. The methodology used is mainly the library research from various reliable sources, such as database and search engine that cover selected journals and information regarding the subject matters, including references from local or international fisheries authorities. Expert views focusing on block chain technology through article writing in mass media are also taken as a reference. The discussion in this paper hopefully can provide a clearer view on the reality of issues faced by the freshwater fish aquaculture sector as well as provide a good potential solution by the application of disruptive technology of block chain system in accordance with the government recommendations in Industrial Revolution 4.0.
