A research breakthrough achieved by aquaculture scientists may help revive the moribund shrimp industry. The feat was chalked up by the government-hosted, Tigbauan, Iloilo-based Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (Seafdec AQD) at its brackishwater station here. Through a technique that Seafdec AQD has developed, it initially harvested 4.465 tons of giant tiger shrimps in 139 days in a 0.876 hectare pond in this town.
