Excerpt

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources here in Northern Mindanao said there is just enough fish supply in the region, most of which is highly dependent on the supply from Zamboanga peninsula. BFAR regional Director Teoduro Bacolod Jr. in a media briefing Tuesday afternoon, said the region is not dependent on the catch of fisherfolk from the region. “We have supply from other regions like Zamboanga and General Santos, with support from catch in the region,” Bacolod said. Data from the National Economic Development Authority in Region 10 showed the region produced 32,719.34 metric tons of fish in the first quarter of 2018, a 2.4-percent drop in production compared to the first quarter of 2017.
