Excerpt
Fishing of three different fish species in the Visayan Sea has resumed. Since March 15, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) lifted the four-month ban on sardine, mackerel and herring fishing. BFAR-6 regional director Drucila Esther Bayate said the catching and selling of said three fish species are allowed again. She said the annual fishing ban that began in November, 1989 was implemented to curb the declining population of the three different fish species.
