    17-year change in species composition of mixed seagrass beds around Santiago Island, Bolinao, the northwestern Philippines
    Tanaka, Yoshiyuki; Go, Gay Amabelle; Watanabe, Atsushi; Miyajima, Toshihiro; Nakaoka, Masahiro; Uy, Wilfredo H.; Nadaoka, Kazuo; Watanabe, Shuichi; Fortes, Miguel D. (Elsevier, 2014)
    Effects of fish culture can alter the adjacent ecosystems. This study compared seagrass species compositions in 2012 with those in 1995, when fish culture was less intensive compared to 2012 in the region. Observations were conducted at the same four sites around Santiago Island, Bolinao: (1) Silaqui Island, (2) Binaballian Loob, (3) Pislatan and (4) Santa Barbara, and by using the same methods as those of Bach et al. (1998). These sites were originally selected along a siltation gradient, ranging from Site 1, the most pristine, to Site 4, a heavily silted site. By 2012, fish culture had expanded around Sites 2, 3 and 4, where chlorophyll a (Chl a) was greater in 2012 than in 1995 by one order of magnitude. Enhalus acoroides and Cymodocea serrulata, which were recorded in 1995, were no longer present at Site 4, where both siltation and nutrient load are heavy.

    Agri Dept. cites Zambales firm's efforts in pompano production
    (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2024-01-23)
    In San Antonio, Zambales, a private firm is helping blaze the trail to increase local production of pompano, a delicious, high-value aquaculture alternative to milkfish. Government data showed that in 2022, local production of pompano (scientific name trichinous blochii), only reached 457 metric tons—less than 3 percent of total imports of 16,004 tons during the same year. Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., along with officials of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), visited Santeh Feeds Corp.’s Silaguin Bay Fish Farm.

    Batanes fish farmers will soon have their own local source of tilapia fingerlings as the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) and the local government inaugurated on April 4, 2024 the province’s first municipal tilapia hatchery in Barangay Raele in the island municipality of Itbayat. The facility, equipped with breeding, nursery, treatment and conditioning ponds and a water system vital for hatchery operation, is expected to produce 300,000 to 500,000 pieces of tilapia fingerlings annually.

    The next big thing: SEAFDEC renews push for pompano farming
    Armada, 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. Its market price is between P300 and P500 per kilogram, depending on size, which is usually between 250 to 500 grams. Pompano naturally inhabit coral reefs, but they also adapt well to being farmed in marine fish cages and brackishwater fishponds where they grow fast and readily take in formulated feeds.

    The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said it will train aquaculture farmers starting this week to build up milkfish and white shrimp output, with a target of 10,000 offshore fish cages within two years. Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol, the MinDA chairman, said the Fish Cage Development Program targets production of about 200,000 metric tons of milkfish a year, “which will infuse an estimated P26-B into Mindanao’s economy and provide thousands of jobs.”

    DA-BFAR project opens wider access to skills and knowledge in fish farming
    (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2021-02-08)
    Interested groups or individuals may now avail of the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources’ (DA-BFAR) collection of aquaculture technology as the agency made it more accessible during its virtual launching on Monday, February 8, 2021, in Quezon City. A component of the “Aqua Negosyo Para sa Pilipino” initiative of the DA-BFAR, the project emphasizes that the key to successful agribusiness, including aquaculture enterprise, is acquiring the right knowledge and technical skills. It also integrates the One DA approach to strategic communication, while hitting another of the agriculture department’s key initiative of jump-starting agribusiness and spurring entrepreneurial and economic development in the countryside through the establishment of Agro-Industrial Business Corridors (ABC).
