Production and delivery of aquaculture seeds remain uninterrupted at the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) based in Tigbauan, Iloilo despite the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed in Iloilo and surrounding provinces. To date, SEAFDEC reports that they continued to deliver milkfish fry to six different fish farms in Iloilo, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental during the ECQ period. Deliveries to Guimaras were received at Parola and Ortiz wharves while a delivery to Negros Occidental was received at the Dumangas port. Crablets of alimango (crabs) were also delivered on two occasions to Capiz which were received at the Iloilo-Capiz border, while another shipment is already scheduled by the end of April.
