BFAR: Aggressive transfer of aquaculture tech needed vs dwindling fish catch
Excerpt
To ensure fish supply sustainability in the country, the Philippine Technical and Administrative Committee (PTAC) members requested the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) to put all aquaculture research and development plans into fruition. “The Philippines’ aquaculture industry needs to improve aggressively and we wish for SEAFDEC/AQD to put plans into action,” Director Eduardo Gongona of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources said during the 27th PTAC Meeting in October in Makati City. The PTAC is tasked to coordinate between Seafdec and the Philippine Government as host and is comprised of representatives from relevant government agencies.
