    French, Lilibeth A. (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2017-08-07)
    Guimaras’ fisheries production continued to rise in the past three years, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) – Guimaras Office. PSA-Guimaras attributed the continuous upward trend in the province’s fisheries production to municipal fishing which influenced two-third of the total fishery production. Municipal fishing which refers to fishing within municipal waters using fishing vessels of three gross tons or less, or fishing not requiring the use of fishing vessels, gained 22.2 percent and continued to move up by 1.5 percent in 2016 in the province.

    BFAR-6 to spend P10M for fingerling dispersal project
    (Panay News, Inc., 2017-01-05)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will spend around P10 million for its free fingerling dispersal project in Western Visayas this year. In an interview Tuesday, BFAR-6 director Remia A. Apari said the fingerling dispersal is their contribution to achieve the mandate of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to provide affordable and available food on the table of every Filipino. Tilapia fingerlings will be released to coastal and upland areas and are expected to benefit some 100 fisher folks. Initially, “hito” or catfish juveniles will be provided to some 60 to 60 fisherfolk. The fingerlings will come with the corresponding feeds requirement, which will also be provided free, she said.
