        "summary": "Authorities in Central Jakarta captured 576 invasive sailfin catfish across eight districts on Friday as part of a coordinated effort to control their population, directed by Governor Pramono Anung. Mayor Arifin emphasised that the operation will occur every Friday, targeting not only adult fish but also eggs on river walls and nests to maximise effectiveness, with all captured fish being killed by breaking their bodies before burial to prevent misuse. The initiative, involving multiple city agencies, underscores Jakarta's ongoing environmental management strategy against this destructive species.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - The capture of sailfin catfish in Central Jakarta was\nconducted simultaneously across eight districts on Friday (17\/4\/2026).\nThe operation took place in Kemayoran, Tanah Abang, Menteng, Sawah\nBesar, Gambir, Cempaka Putih, Johar Baru, and Senen, from 07.30 WIB to\n10.00 WIB. \u201cThere are eight districts moving today in accordance with\nthe instructions of Mr Governor (Pramono Anung),\u201d said Central Jakarta\nMayor Arifin in Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, on Friday. Arifin also\nrequested that the sailfin catfish capture activities in Central Jakarta\nbe held routinely every Friday. \u201cI have just conveyed that every Friday\nmorning, one of the actions is to catch sailfin catfish,\u201d he said.\nHowever, according to him, if only adult sailfin catfish are captured,\nthe control of sailfin catfish will not run maximally. This is because\nthere are still many fish eggs attached to the walls of river\nembankments and nests on the riverbanks. \u201cThis must also be the target\nof our operation,\u201d Arifin stated. According to Arifin, all captured\nsailfin catfish must be killed and buried immediately. Before burial,\nthe sailfin catfish are first killed by breaking their bodies. \u201cDon\u2019t\nlet anyone exploit them later; once buried, they are dug up again and\nused for bad purposes,\u201d Arifin said. \u201cNow, there must be security so\nthat everything buried is truly to eliminate the population of sailfin\ncatfish in the waters,\u201d he added. The capture was led by Mayor Arifin,\nassisted by the Food Security, Maritime, and Agriculture Agency (PKP),\nCentral Jakarta Fire Department, Environment Agency (LH), Water\nResources Agency (SDA), and neighbourhood infrastructure and facilities\nofficers (PPSU).<\/p>",
