An award-winning technology for algae harvesting is now available in the Philippines, boosting efforts to reduce the cost of producing fish fry in hatcheries through the use of algal paste. An Evodos dynamic settler unit, using spiral plate technology which won a gold award for outstanding algae harvesting performance technologyin 2015, was recently acquired by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) here. Such technology is the first in the Philippines and the third in Asia after Hong Kong and Viet Nam.
