Three years after fishermen complained of dwindling catch, Tayabas Bay now hosts schools of fish through a fish cage culture project pushed by the Department of Agriculture (DA). To arrest the depletion of marketable fish, DA launched a project entitled "The Culture of High-Value Finfishes in Cages in Sariaya, Quezon" five months ago through the Community-based Participatory Action Research Project (CPAR) of the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR). As a result of the project, BAR director Dr. Nicomedes Eleazar said, fishermen are now harvesting highly marketable fish including red tilapia, bangus, and grouper continue to swarm in fish cages of Barangay Bignay II in Sariaya.
