    Zamboanga stakes claim as RP’s top seaweed producer
    (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2008-03-23)
    In the face of declining seaweed harvests in the country’s traditional major seaweed production centers, the regional office of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Region IX has taken bold steps to intensify seaweed culture in the whole Zamboanga Peninsula. “The objectives,” says BFAR Region IX director Virgilio Alforque, “are to help stabilize seaweed supply in the country, enable seaweed processors to operate at higher capacity and, most importantly, make it possible for Zamboanga’s seaweed farmers to take advantage of prevailing high prices.” Fortunately, a new research by SEAFDEC researchers Anicia Hurtado and Renato Agbayani has shown that deep water (more than 10 meters deep) farming of the seaweeds Kappaphycus is possible and very profitable just like the other methods in shallower waters. This method in deeper waters is commonly called alul.

    Shrimp production to double in 5 yrs-DA
    Go, Marianne V. (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2008-07-10)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) is optimistic that domestic shrimp production will double in the next five years and that the Philippines will regain its status as one of the world's top exporters of shrimp. Agriculture Undersecretary Jesus Emmanuel Paras said the move by Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap last year to lift the ban on the importation and culture of Pacific white shrimp into the country has resulted in a speedy rebound by the country's shrimp industry. The importation and culture of Pacific white shrimp is strictly monitored by Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) together with the Southeast Asia Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC).
