Scientists of the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department have a new challenge – to perk up shrimp farming and boost the industry which has been a “risky” business for decades. “The many constraints and problems besetting the industry for years, have made the industry so,” said Dan Baliao, SEAFDEC/AQD chief. “We are launching our banner program ‘Oplan Balik Sugpo’ to revive the shrimp industry in the Philippines,” Baliao added.
