The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is planning to distribute fish aggregating devices (FADs) to help fisherfolk maximize output without raising production costs. FADs “attract high-value fish species (and) also provide fishers with a precise fishing area, effectively cutting down production costs including fuel consumption,” the BFAR said. The BFAR said it hopes FADs will help ensure an ample supply of fish on the market and keep prices of fish stable.
