- Bulk-buying of sardines mulledRomero, Maria (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2022-09-19)Cannery owners are mulling bulk-buying sardines from municipal fishers to sustain their livelihood and keep the cheap prices of the canned goods, a social product that has helped keep Filipino families afloat, especially during disasters and calamities. At a press conference on Monday, Francisco Buencamino, executive director of the Sardines Canners Association of the Philippines, said his group would need the support of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to support the proposed initiative. “We want to discuss this matter with the BFAR but they are not responsive to our letters. I would love the privilege of having discussions with them. We need to directly agree to craft an agreement, which will also help us avert any crisis,” Buencamino told reporters.
- El Niño seen dampening seaweed, crab productionConserva, Louine Hope (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2015-10-06)Production of seaweed and mud crabs is expected to decrease due to the higher temperatures brought about by the prevailing El Niño. Production of seaweed and mud crabs is expected to decrease due to the higher temperatures brought about by the prevailing El Niño. Officials of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) said both seaweed and mud crabs cannot thrive in water temperatures higher than 32 degrees centigrade. “Normal temperature is about 30 degrees centigrade, but right now it has increased to 32. Longer exposure to higher temperature would be damaging (for seaweed),” said Maria Rovilla J. Luhan, SEAFDEC associate scientist and head of the Farming Systems and Ecology Section.
