Excerpt

The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center-Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) continues to expand its research complex in Tigbauan, Iloilo with the construction of three new aquaculture facilities including a feed mill, hatcheries, and grow-out tanks. Funded with PHP 26,800,000, largely from the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office 6, the new medium-scale feed mill plant is set to produce 500 kilograms of cost-efficient feed per hour, translating to an annual output of 1,560 tons.
