The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources - Davao Region (Bfar-Davao) said there should still be enough fish production despite the yearly ban on fishing small pelagic fishes in Davao Gulf from June to August. “Most probably sa isda sa dagat maapektohan ta but it should be absorbed sa aquaculture nato (We might be affected regarding the number of fishes sourced from the sea by that ban, but the fish production will be backed by our aquaculture),” Raul Millena, Bfar-Davao regional director said in an interview.
