    Heated tanks lead to productive milkfish spawning in cold months
    (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2021-02-27)
    A premier fisheries research center in the country is promoting a simple technology to address the perennial shortage of milkfish fry that continues to hound fish farmers in the Philippines during the colder months of the year. The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD), a research center based in Iloilo, revealed that the facility succeeded in inducing milkfish breeders to spawn using thermal manipulation and is sharing this technology with fish farmers. “The shortage of milkfish seeds is more pron1ounced in the Philippines between November to February when the weather becomes too cold for breeders to lay eggs,” said SEAFDEC chief Dan Baliao, who further underscored that “thermal manipulation is necessary to help milkfish hatcheries stay productive during the four-month off-season by ensuring a continuous supply of seed.”

    Int’l body accused of economic sabotage for listing Tawilis as endangered species
    Miraflor, Madelaine B. (Manila Bulletin, 2019-02-06)
    Switzerland-based International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has been accused of economic sabotage for listing Sardinella Tawilis, the only freshwater sardine in the world, as an endangered species, stakeholders said. The United Stakeholders of Taal Lake, which includes fishermen, vendors, restaurant owners and residents of communities surrounding Taal Lake, has “strongly condemned” the IUCN’s report in a position paper. IUCN said in its report that Tawilis, which is endemic to Taal Lake, has become endangered “due to overexploitation, pollution, and predation with introduced fishes, resulting in continuing declines in habitat quality and number of mature individuals”.
