  • Low 'bangus' price alarms Pangasinan fish growers
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2024-06-25)
    Reeling from the continuous tumbling prices of farmed “bangus,” fish cage operators in Pangasinan sought the intervention of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and other concerned agencies to prevent the province’s multimillion-peso aquaculture industry from crashing. During a dialogue between bangus industry stakeholders and government agencies on June 21 at the National Fisheries Development Center here, growers of bangus (milkfish) said prices started to drop last February and is now at P90 to P110 per kilo. Last May, bangus, considered the country’s national fish, was still being sold in Pangasinan markets from P120 to P200 a kilo.

  • BFAR assures enough supply of bangus amid Pangasinan fishkill
    (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2018-06-08)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in the Ilocos region has assured that there is an ample supply of milkfish (bangus) for the region and other regions, despite the recent fishkill in the towns of Anda and Bolinao. BFAR Regional Director Nestor Domenden, in an interview during a fisheries forum on Wednesday, revealed that less than 1 percent of the region's total production for the year was lost due the fishkill. Domenden said the region is self-sufficient in bangus production and can continue supplying the needs of other areas, including Metro Manila, as the region is 127 percent sufficiency.

    Lomibao, Willie; Cardinoza, Gabriel (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-04-29)
    A species of tilapia named after former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for being a smaller version of the ordinary tilapia is invading fishponds in Pangasinan province, prompting bangus (milkfish) growers to complain of losses. The species, known as tilapiang “Gloria” and also “molmol” locally, is depriving bangus of food in the ponds, according to Julie Perez, head of Malimgas-Aliguas Dagupan Vendors Federation, a group which includes bangus growers.
