    No fish shortage: Western Visayas 125% fish sufficient - BFAR
    (Panay News, Inc., 2023-06-08)
    The campaign against illegal fishing is paying off. Western Visayas is “more than 100 percent sufficient” in fish, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The region’s fish sufficiency is at 125 percent, Regional Director Remia Aparri told Panay News. She cited local government units (LGUs), partner government agencies, fisherfolk and other stakeholders for supporting BFAR’s campaign against illegal fishing and the annual three-month closed season observed in the Visayan Sea (November to February) to give fishes time to spawn, repopulate and grow.

    Rice and fish
    Chanco, Boo (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-11-16)
    There was this story of a school girl whose baon every school day was a cup of rice sprinkled with patis or fish sauce. That was all her parents could afford, the story on social media said. The basic Filipino diet is rice and fish. Fish and fish products provide the bulk of protein for more than half of all Filipinos when they eat. Galunggong or scad was the poor man’s fish when I was growing up. But today, the poor can no longer afford galunggong. It is now imported.

    The country’s total fish production grew 0.9 percent to 1.01 million metric tons (MMT) in the first quarter of 2019 compared to year-ago output, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said. The figure, however, was significantly lower than the 2-percent growth forecast set by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA). In its latest Fisheries Situation Report, PSA said growth was seen in commercial fisheries and municipal fisheries subsectors while a decline was noted in aquaculture.

    Aquaculture touted as food security measure
    Conserva, Louine Hope (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2015-10-05)
    Developing more aquatic farms for the cultivation of fish and water plants could provide a boost to food security while curbing illegal fishing, said officials at the ongoing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings on Food Security and Blue Economy. Dr. Felix G. Ayson, chief of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center-Aquaculture Department based in Tigbuan, Iloilo said the region will have to increase aquaculture production to keep up with future demand. “My projection is that for us to provide food for the population, we need to increase our aquaculture production by 30% within 25 years,” Mr. Ayson said in a news conference.
