    No fish shortage: Western Visayas 125% fish sufficient - BFAR
    (Panay News, Inc., 2023-06-08)
    The campaign against illegal fishing is paying off. Western Visayas is “more than 100 percent sufficient” in fish, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). The region’s fish sufficiency is at 125 percent, Regional Director Remia Aparri told Panay News. She cited local government units (LGUs), partner government agencies, fisherfolk and other stakeholders for supporting BFAR’s campaign against illegal fishing and the annual three-month closed season observed in the Visayan Sea (November to February) to give fishes time to spawn, repopulate and grow.

    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.

    Rice and fish
    Chanco, Boo (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-11-16)
    There was this story of a school girl whose baon every school day was a cup of rice sprinkled with patis or fish sauce. That was all her parents could afford, the story on social media said. The basic Filipino diet is rice and fish. Fish and fish products provide the bulk of protein for more than half of all Filipinos when they eat. Galunggong or scad was the poor man’s fish when I was growing up. But today, the poor can no longer afford galunggong. It is now imported.
