- Fish prices likely to go down in coming weeks - BFAR(Panay News, Inc., 2024-02-04)Fish prices are likely to go down in the coming weeks following the lifting of the closed fishing season for round scad (galungggong) in Northern Palawan, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). BFAR said it expects that this will result in a boost in supply for round scad in the local market. “‘Pag maraming klase ng isda na mapagpipilian sa palengke, marami ang supply, it would actually boil down to reduced price,” said BFAR chief public information officer Nazzer Briguera.

- Record fish unloading in major portsMiraflor, Madelaine B. (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2021-03-26)The implementation of stricter two-week quarantine measures in the Greater Manila Area has not affected supply of fish with the Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) reported of record high weekly fish unloading from March 16 to 23 period. The National Capital Region and nearby provinces are still under the general community quarantine (GCQ) status, but the government has reimposed stricter quarantine protocols from March 22 up to April 4 on due to surging COVID-19 cases in these areas. PFDA recorded the unloading of 5,533.76 metric tons (MT) of fish supply for consumers in the National Capital Region (NCR) and several areas in Central and South Luzon.
- PH seas running out of fish, says BFAR execSotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2015-11-07)More than a hundred fishermen, mostly from Pangasinan province, were out in the West Philippine Sea when Typhoon “Lando” (international name: Koppu) lashed Central and northern Luzon late last month. The sea was calm when the fishermen sailed. But the typhoon unleashed violent winds that wrecked their motorized fishing boats. The fishermen drifted for days in the open sea until they were rescued. The risks taken by fishermen were an indication of how Philippine seas are running out of fish, said Asis Perez, director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), during the national summit on participatory governance toward sustainable fisheries held last week in Pasay City.
