Shrimp congress set in July
Excerpt
Scientific advances in shrimp culture technology and the establishment of diagnostic laboratories for shrimp diseases by the government provide hope that the Philippine shrimp industry can still recover after a series of setbacks brought about by devastating diseases and other environment-related problems during the past few years. To realize and hasten this recovery, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Philippine Shrimp Industry Association, Inc., are sponsoring a national congress to be held in Bacolod City on July 2-4, this year. BFAR Director Malcolm I. Sarmiento Jr. said that the three-day congress aims to formulate a comprehensive national shrimp industry recovery program geared towards sustainable development. He said that holding the shrimp congress is paramount as there exist now more intensified efforts pursued by all sectors – government, research institutions, academe, and industry players – to put the shrimp industry in order.
