The establishment of a hatchery for blue swimming crabs at the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) campus in Concepcion, Iloilo is seen to increase the marine species’ production. Provincial Agriculturist Ildefonso Toledo on Monday said it will be the first hatchery of its kind in Iloilo and is expected to produce one million crablets in a cycle. During its session on June 8, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved the request of Provincial Administrator Raul Banias to authorize the provincial government to sign a memorandum of understanding with NIPSC for the establishment of the facility.
