Fishpond owners brace for drought
Excerpt
Six fishpond barangays here received 64,020 milkfish fingerlings from the Bureau of Fishery and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to augment the expected losses of fishpond operators due to the projected summer dry months. Villagers here already saw the signs of ponds drying up even before the dry season is officially declared by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa). The City Agriculture Office earlier reported having done rehabilitative measures for 120 hectares of fishponds in the city. These ponds, located in barangays Lingsat, Dalumpinas Este, Carlatan, Bangcusay and San Vicente, were sowed with milkfish, native tilapia and shrimps
