    Closed fishing season in Visayas seen creating 'artificial' shortages
    Ochave, Revin Mikhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2021-11-17)
    The three-month closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea is expected to cause an “artificial” shortage of fish with a knock-on effect on inflation, an organization of fishermen said. The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (PAMALAKAYA) said in a statement Tuesday that the closed fishing season in the Visayan Sea will depress supply and raise prices. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) closed fishing in the Visayan Sea on Nov. 15. It will run until Feb. 15. The fish species covered by the ban in those waters include sardines, herring, and mackerel.

    BFAR bans harvest of juvenile mangrove crabs, spiny lobsters
    Ochave, Revin Mikhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2020-04-27)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said it has banned the harvest of juvenile mangrove crabs and spiny lobsters to prevent overfishing and implemented a registration system for fishermen harvesting these resources. In two separate fisheries administrative orders, the BFAR sought to regulate the trade in the two species, and required members of this fishery, including growers and collectors, to be registered with and certified by their local governments. “The catching of their juveniles and fry are intended for aquaculture seed stock that will be cultured for grow-out and harvested for food. Others, at the very minimum, are harvested for research purposes,” BFAR Information Officer Nazario C. Briguera said in an e-mail.
