A new book on the culture of grouper (lapu-lapu) is off the press. Funded by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the book, titled "Husbandry and Health Management of Grouper," was developed and published by the government-hosted Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD) based here. AQD, currently headed by Dr. Rolando R. Platon, chief, is one of the four technical departments of SEAFDEC, an intergovernment treaty organization founded in 1967 to promote fisheries development in Southeast Asia.
