Excerpt

The prolonged dry spell is delaying the stocking of pawn and shrimp fries, but this is not expected to dampen business prospects, an industry leader said during a recent forum here. Stocking may take place in May and the harvest will be moved to October-December instead of August and September, Philippine Shrimp Industry, Inc. President Roberto A. Gatuslao said. Mr. Gatuslao, who also heads the Negros Prawn Producers Marketing Cooperative as chairman, was optimistic that the delay will not affect the industry's prospects this year.
