    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 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.
