Abstract
Osteochilus spilurus is one of the freshwater fish species in the Cyprinidae family which is found in the ancient river region of Sunda shelf which empties toward the North Natuna Sea. This article explores the biological, ecological, and potential characteristics of fish called Cempedik (local name in Belitung Island) as an aquaculture species. Research results and literature showed about feeding habits, reproduction, habitat, and aquaculture potential. It is abundant and well suited for culture in an established market insure, especially Belitung Island, but reproductive biology is not well understood. It can be preserved in an artificial environment, and it is possible to become aquaculture species as well as other osteochilus genera.
