Excerpt

The right to the science-based technologies in raising fish developed by the research center the government supports. The right to demand technical assistance in aquaculture. The right to be trained by world-class experts in fish culture. The right to be informed. These are basically what Filipinos get for their stake in the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), a regional treaty organization whose Aquaculture Department (AQD) is based in the coastal town of Tigbauan, Iloilo. SEAFDEC/AQD is mandated to conduct aquaculture research-and-development, and has been in existence since 1973.
