  • The next big thing: SEAFDEC renews push for pompano farming
    Armada, Nyra; Dianala, Rex Delsar (Panay News, Inc., 2022-09-27)
    A delectable fish that needs no seasoning, no need for scaling, has few bones, fits perfectly on a pan, and whose mild and sweet flavor suits almost any recipe. It’s no wonder that the pompano is called by some to be the “world’s most edible fish.” This silvery fish, with a pearly white meat when cooked, is known as “apahan” or “dawis lawin” in the Philippines. Its market price is between P300 and P500 per kilogram, depending on size, which is usually between 250 to 500 grams. Pompano naturally inhabit coral reefs, but they also adapt well to being farmed in marine fish cages and brackishwater fishponds where they grow fast and readily take in formulated feeds.

  • Conservation urged to save native catfish
    Dianala, Rex Delsar (Panay News, Inc., 2020-08-29)
    The bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus), one of two native catfish species, was once a popular meal and is found in lakes, ponds, and rice fields across the Philippines. Based on studies and anecdotal reports, it is now found only in Cagayan, Quezon, Palawan, Agusan del Sur, and Liguasan Marsh. The native catfish industry has been neglected in favor of the African catfish. “Most of our farmers are growing African catfish,” said Rosenio Pagador, an information specialist of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) based in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
