  • Pangasinan aquaculture practices wow US students
    Visperas, Eva (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2019-02-06)
    Students of the University of Rhode Island arrived in Pangasinan on New Year’s eve for their 20-day study of the best aquaculture practices in various coastal areas of the province and got wowed. From going to the rivers, the 10 students led by their professor Michael Rice experienced demonstration and did hands-on sex determination/cannulation of milkfish breeders and feed preparation/enrichment at the Philippine Bangus Center, seining milkfish broodstock from a maturation pond at the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources center, all in this city. At the BFAR center, the students also had the opportunity to harvet bangus and saltwater tilapia from ponds.
  • Who killed the milkfish?
    Cardinoza, Gabriel (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2011-06-08)
    They're stubborn. These are the words of Nestor Domenden, regional director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) when asked why fishkills have been a recurring nightmare in Bolinao and Anda towns in western Pangasinan in the last 10 years. “They (milkfish growers) know where their fishing structures should be built, but they continued to disregard it,” Domenden says. A report from the office of the provincial agriculturist in Lingayen shows that 72 of the 75 fishkill-hit cages were built in the waters off Catubig Point in Barangay Tara up to Barangay Culang in Bolinao, while the rest, mostly bamboo pens, dotted the fishing area from Barangay Mal-ong to Barangay Awag and across the Kakiputan Channel to the island village of Siapar in Anda.
