Milkfish, the second top aquaculture species produced in the country, has a swelling demand, hence the need to increase its production. Addressing this concern, the manual Development and Management of Milkfish Broodstock tackles broodstock management. The manual provides developed and refined techniques for collection and transport of spawned eggs and larvae, as well as larval rearing. It also describes the necessary facilities for maintaining milkfish broodstock. Published by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) and funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD), the manual guides stakeholders and operators who are interested in setting up breeding facilities for milkfish.
