    Excerpt
    To help lower the price of fish amidst volatile food prices across the country, an international aquaculture research center is coming up with a new fish feed formulation that is cost-efficient and eco-friendly. Using byproducts of ethanol production, rendered animal protein, and processed copra meal, a scientist at the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) formulated fish feed that performed better than commercially available feeds as proven in pond trials. The SEAFDEC/AQD-formulated diet is cheaper as it only costs about P28 per kilogram to produce, while the average cost of a commercial feed is about P34 to 36 per kilogram.
