    Where have our native fish gone?
    Yan, Gregg (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2021-08-18)
    According to the ASEAN Biodiversity Outlook 2, ASEAN member states have identified 112 invasive alien species affecting forests, agriculture and aquatic ecosystems. “Given that we have all these introduced species already being considered as economically important and are being used in aquaculture, it is imperative that we focus our research and technology development on the breeding, propagation and culture of our native species like ayungin, tawilis, maliputo, igat and native hito, both for conservation and sustainable aquaculture,” explains Dr. Ma. Rowena Eguia, a geneticist from SEAFDEC/AQD, an international body which promotes sustainable fisheries development in Southeast Asia. Best Alternatives, an NGO based in the Philippines and VB Consultancy, a research firm based in Europe, are working to highlight the dangers of farming invasive species. Instead of farming potentially invasive foreign fish, the two groups are working to convince governments and private institutions to farm native species instead.

    Pollution lang ang dolomite
    Valmonte, Ric (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2020-09-21)
    Nakakuha kamakailan ng mga patay na isda na tinatayang 10 kilo ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) sa tubig ng Manila Bay sa lugar malapit sa Baseco, Maynila. Nangyari ito sa gitna ng kontrobersiya hinggil sa ginagawa ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) na pagpapapaputi ng baybayin ng Manila Bay sa pamamagitan ng pagtatambak ng dinurog na dolomite malapit sa Baywalk, sa kahabaan ng Roxas Boulevard. Ayon kay DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, walang kaugnayan ang kanilang proyekto sa naganap na fish kill.
