"After several successful demonstrations runs in the Visayas, Mindanao and now here in Luzo, we believe that environment-friendly prawn technology can be applicable or adaptable to other sites", he said.
However, "success is not enough", say BFAR Director Malcolm Sarmiento adding "this technology should be adopted by the people.
