Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources recently conducted a study on how to multiply the population of ayungin, an omnivorous silver-colored fish endemic to the Philippines. BFAR said it conducted the study as a response to the declining population of the said species in Southern Luzon. The bureau’s National Inland Fisheries Technology Center in Tanay, Rizal began to do a study on the natural breeding of ayungin in fish pond.
