"Failures are ingredients to success." This quote holds true for the Shrimp School of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources- National Integrated Fisheries Technology and Development Center(BFAR-NIFTDC) in Dagupan City, which has bounced back from a big flop earlier this year. The two ponds or shrimp compartments, measuring 1200 square meters each, were hit by the White Spot Syndrome, a shrimp disease that devastated the school's first attempt to cultivate the Penaeus vannamei (P. vannamei) species (white shrimp), says Rosario.
