The government will implement a three-month closed season for galunggong (roundscad) in Northeastern Palawan starting Nov. 15 to protect the population of the species. Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said the National Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council has approved the implementation of the no-harvest-season following a thorough study on the migration and spawning habits of the species. “The closed season for commercial fishing vessels aims to conserve marine resources and to secure the spawning period of pelagic fish in the area and to continuously implement measures to address illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing,” Alcala said.
