Aquaculture facilities worth P23M completed in Iloilo

Hatcheries and broodstock tanks involving the investment of P23 million have been completed this year in Iloilo to help fish producers seed their farms, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said. The facilities are located within the Tigbauan Main Station of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC). They have been in development since 2019. The project is part of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources’ Bangus Fry Sufficiency Program to serve as a prototype for other hatchery ventures elsewhere.
