Leptobarbus is a genus of cyprinid fish that are native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia. They are important food fish. [1] It is the only genus in the subfamily Leptobarbinae. Leptobarbus hoevenii or "sultan fish" migrate the fresh water rivers of Malaysia and travel at the surface in schools of 40-80 individuals at speeds of 0.48-1.08 km. [2] Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) were extracted from the muscles of selected cultured catfish (hybrid of Clarias gariepinus x Clarias macrocephalus), red tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus), black tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus), pangasius catfish ( Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), sultan fish (Leptobarbus hoevenii) and labyrinth fish ( Trichogaster trichopterus), freshwater fishes that are widely consumed in Malaysia. The extracted yields for the tested species were higher for PSC as compared with ASC. [3]
