    Excerpt
    The provincial government will put up a crab hatchery worth P5-million in Concepcion town this year to help conserve and restore the population of the kasag or blue swimming crabs. In partnership with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), the crab hatchery will be built at the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC). Kasag fishery is a significant subsector of the crustacean fishery, according to BFAR. But blue swimming crab catch is steadily declining in volume and crab size due to the serious depletion of the breeding stock of crabs.
