| dc.description | A government-backed aquaculture initiative has delivered a strong harvest in Iloilo, with the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) reporting a combined yield of 1.56 metric tons of tilapia and 450 kilograms of giant freshwater prawns — underscoring the viability of polyculture systems in boosting fishery productivity and farmer incomes. The partial harvest conducted on April 8, 2026 in Barangay Nanga, Pototan highlights what experts describe as a scalable model for sustainable aquaculture, as authorities push to strengthen food security and rural livelihoods through innovation. The project, dubbed “Grow-out Polyculture of Nile Tilapia and Giant Freshwater Prawn,” utilizes a system that allows both species to be raised simultaneously in a single pond, maximizing space and improving production efficiency. | en |
