dc.descriptionPhilippine fisheries scientists have achieved a global first after a mackerel tuna, locally known as “tulingan,” successfully reproduced under fully captive conditions without the use of hormone injections, according to the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center-Aquaculture Department (Seafdec-AQD). The breakthrough was recorded at the Seafdec-AQD’s research facility in Tigbauan town, Iloilo, where “kawakawa” (Euthynnus affinis)—a species long considered nearly impossible to breed in captivity—spawned naturally inside an enclosed tank. In a statement on Jan. 16, Seafdec said the first spawning event was observed in July 2025, with repeated spawning occurring through September.en
