dc.descriptionFarming tilapia is profitable. Raising giant freshwater prawn or “ulang” is, too. But what happens when you grow them together? They don’t just share a pond, but they multiply profits. In Barangay Nanga, Pototan, Iloilo, a project led by SEAFDEC/AQD recently harvested 2.9 tons of tilapia and 167 kilograms of giant freshwater prawn on September 30, demonstrating how pairing the two species can mean higher yield and better income for local farmers. The initiative used a polyculture system, where complementary aquaculture species are grown in the same compartments at the same time to maximize space and yield.en
