There is enough supply of milkfish despite the cold weather, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Ilocos has assured the public. Nestor Domenden, BFAR regional director, said milkfish growers have foreseen the effects of the weather and adjusted the harvest period. “Hindi masyadong palakain, di sila masyadong active, hindi masyado ang paglaki (They eat less, they are less active.They don’t grow much),” Domenden said of milkfish during cold weather.
