- The next big thing: SEAFDEC renews push for pompano farmingArmada, Nyra; Dianala, Rex Delsar (Panay News, Inc., 2022-09-27)A delectable fish that needs no seasoning, no need for scaling, has few bones, fits perfectly on a pan, and whose mild and sweet flavor suits almost any recipe. It’s no wonder that the pompano is called by some to be the “world’s most edible fish.” This silvery fish, with a pearly white meat when cooked, is known as “apahan” or “dawis lawin” in the Philippines.

- Downtrend in capture fisheries makes aquaculture lucrative(Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2019-05-03)Aquaculture production is increasing and in fact started to surpass capture fisheries in 2014.
