The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada has approved a $423,600 grant for the SEAFDEC aquaculture department to implement Phase III of the milkfish research project, starting April 1. Phase III, which covers a period of three years, will concentrate on retirement of bangus breeding techniques developed since 1975. It involves research in milkfish fry production, nutrition and feed development, fisheries and ecology, pond culture and management, pathology, aquaculture economics as well as training and extension programs.
