The livelihood programs of a number of coastal as well as landlocked towns in the Visayas are now being boosted by aquaculture technologies being transferred to their fishfarming sector. Such technologies include raising mudcrab (alimango) in mangrove, producing grouper (lapu-lapu) and catfish in ponds, rearing hybrid tilapia in net cages, growing hatchery-reared bangus fry, and culturing oysters and mussel (tahong) in rafts.
