The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources led send-off activities Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Majini Pier of the Naval Station Romulo M. Espaldon in Calarian, Zamboanga City to signal the start of the closed fishing season at the Zamboanga Peninsula. From Dec. 1 to March 1, fishing personnel, mostly from big sardine and canning factories, are prohibited from catching “tamban” or sardines to enhance propagation of the species.
