    Fisheries expert bucks BFAR conversion into staff bureau
    (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2006-09-10)
    The fisheries sector will once again join the non-performing assets of the government if the Department of Agriculture will include the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in its rationalization or "rat" plan, according to Wilfredo Yap, an aquaculture technical consultant of ADB-assisted aquaculture development technical assistance project. Yap, a former FAO expert and research head of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center or SEAFDEC, said that from 1987 to 1998 the average annual growth rate of aquaculture by volume of production dropped to only 5.4 percent, from 13.3 percent during the previous 10-year period (1977 to 1986) and capture fisheries to only one percent from the previous 2.8 percent. "The rationalization plan is supposed to eliminate duplication of functions inherent in the present commodity approach of the DA organization. In reality, fisheries cannot and should not be considered a mere commodity like rice, corn, coconut and sugarcane," he pointed out.

    Milkfish fry sufficiency program in full swing
    (Panay News, Inc., 2018-12-08)
    Due to the declining supply of wild-caught fry and insufficiency of hatchery-bred fry from local hatcheries, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center’s (SEAFDEC) Aquaculture Department (AQD) acquired additional 78 milkfish broodstocks to support the government “Bangus Fry Sufficiency Program.” The recent acquisition of the milkfish broodstock will augment the more than 300 being maintained in Tigbauan main station and Igang Marine Station. To date, the AQD has produced and dispersed 16 million hatchery-bred excluding the 380,000 fry produced in newly-built hatchery in Sagnay, Camarines Sur.

    Solving major aquaculture woes sought
    (Panay News, Inc., 2018-10-06)
    The aquaculture industry faces three major constraints – lack of fry supply, high cost of feeds and skilled manpower. Upon identifying these constraints, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) and concerned government agencies have since sought ways to address them. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) through its Bangus Fry Sufficiency Program has worked on this.
