    Excerpt
    In Asian countries including the Philippines, the culture of pompano has been conducted in open sea cages, brackishwater cages and in ponds. However, a few challenges, such as the high cost of production, still hamper the widespread farming of pompano. Experts at the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC/AQD) are literally working through the night to find ways to make pompano farming more profitable. Ma. Irene Legaspi, associate researcher at SEAFDEC/AQD, is investigating the advantages of lighting up pompano cages at night during the nursery phase.
