Dr. Joebert Toledo, formerly the director of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development CenterAquaculture Department (Seafdec-AQD) in Iloilo, is working on developing an alternative to the fishmeal and fish oil from Peru for aquafeed. He is working with Feedmix, a company based in Bulacan that is engaged in breeding fish and fish processing, and his task includes seeking plant-based alternatives with up to 40 percent protein content. Virgilio Marzo, an aquaculturist who trained at the University of the Philippines College of Fisheries (UPCF), Taiwan, Germany and Saudi Arabia, is also collaborating with fishpond owners to develop aquafeed that has balanced Omega 3 and Omega 6 content and crude protein higher than international standards.
