The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), which is under the Department of Agriculture (DA), will establish 300 fish cages in every region of the country to boost fish production and attain food sustainability. This was bared by BFAR Assistant Director for Technical Services Drusila Esther Bayate in a press briefing during the culminating program of the Visayan Sea seaborne operations held at Culasi Port in Roxas City on Monday. Mariculture is a specialized branch of aquaculture involving the cultivation of marine organisms for food and other products in the open ocean, an enclosed section of the ocean, or in tanks, ponds or raceways that are filled with seawater.
