Milkfish breeders in Eastern Visayas are reaping the benefits of climate-proofing technologies as they raised production by 500 percent in the past six years, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources office in Region 8 said on Friday. BFAR-8 said bangus production in the region increased from 400 metric tons in 2016 to 2,000 metric tons in October 2022. "Fisheries production in Mariculture parks continues to thrive in Eastern Visayas despite the economical and climate change challenges faced by the fish cage operators," the agency said.
