A multi-species marine fish hatchery inaugurated recently in Bais City, Negros Oriental, is claiming to be the first of its kind in Asia. It uses the environment-friendly energy of the sun and employs a simple, low-cost method of fry/fingerlings production. Jointly implemented by the Central Visayas Polytechnic College (CVPC) and Bais City government, the technology involves rearing fish larvae in net cages with solar-powered underwater lamps.
