    USAID to help NegOcc fishery industry
    (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2019-01-09)
    The fishery industry of Negros Occidental is seen to get a boost through the partnership of the academe and the business sector with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Frank Carbon, chief executive officer of Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MBCCI), said Monday the possible collaboration will cover the seas in the southern part of the province facing Hinoba-an, Sipalay City, and Cauayan, which are abundant in high-value fish products, such as tuna. Blue swimming crabs are also found in the Visayan Sea, particularly the areas from Talisay City to Escalante City in Negros Occidental, he added.

    3-month fishing ban on Visayan Sea ends in Feb.
    (Panay News, Inc., 2019-01-05)
    The closed season in the Visayan Sea for sardines, herrings and mackerels that started on Nov. 15, 2018 would end next month. “Prohibiting fishers from catching them will increase the population of these species. It is really for fishers so they can have increased catch and increased income,” said Regional Director Remia Aparri of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The closed season will run until Feb. 15, stated BFAR’s Fisheries Administrative Order 167-3.
