    BFAR destroys infected white shrimps
    Visperas, Eva (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2005-04-12)
    About 1,100 pieces of imported white shrimps known as "Peneaus vannamei," costing $35 each, will be "destroyed" today, following a recommendation by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC) to Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Director Malcolm Sarmiento. The shrimps, which were imported from Hawaii and cultured at the BFAR office, were found infected with a disease. Several groups from the media and the SEAFDEC were invited to witness the destruction of the shrimps. But, Westly Rosario, the BFAR center chief here, belied reports that that the disease found in these breeders was the deadly Taura syndrome virus, a kind of prawn disease initially found among shrimps in the Ecuador river in 1992.

    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.
