3 Little Fish Sdn Bhd has been awarded the *Best Agrotechnology Award* at the recently concluded MAHA 2026. This award was given to the innovative Break and Protect 2 (BP2) leech trapping device that is used to control the outbreak of the marine leech ~Zeylanicobdella arugamensis~ which causes lesions and mortalities of marine finfish like groupers, seabass and pompano. The use of BP2 has been shown to decrease the incidence of leeches by 80%, improve production by 5% and saves on labour. BP2 is chemical free and sustainable. Production increases as fish are not stressed out with weekly bathing and handling. Fish also command better prices are market as they are healthier and have less lesions. The BP2 fulfils SDG 2, 8 and 14 in improving food security, promoting sustainable agriculture, productive employment and conservation of marine environment for sustainable development. BP2 also won the Commonwealth Secretary General's Sustainability Award in 2021. We would like to thank MAHA, MARDI and FRI for all their efforts in supporting and believing in 3 Little Fish!
