The Department of Agriculture (DA) has intensified the requirements for importing certain fish products including pompano to prevent their sale in wet markets. The action was made after lawmakers urged the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to focus its efforts against smugglers and importers who are diverting fish products to the wet market in violation of existing regulations.
