Overstocking of fish in cages caused the fish kill in Taal and Pangasinan. This was the gist of the report made by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on the loss of 700 metric tons (MT) of tilapia in Taal and between 50 MT and 70 MT of milkfish in Bolinao and Anda Towns of Pangasinan. Newly appointed BFAR national director Asis Perez said consumers should not really worry about the scarcity of fish in the National Capital Region (NCR), saying the lost fish account for only 0.015 percent to the total production, which is 5.6 million MT.
