    BFAR wants to revive native fish species via breeding technology
    (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2022-09-15)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said it is revitalizing indigenous freshwater species to increase the output of the fisheries subsector through aquaculture. BFAR, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture, noted that freshwater species are an essential component of inland waters and contribute significantly to the environment’s biodiversity. “These fishes, however, are among the inland water resources that have experienced a fast decline due to several factors, such as overfishing, declining water quality, siltation, and illegal fishing,” BFAR said in a statement.
