Excerpt

The Department of Science and Technology Region VI (DOST VI) in partnership with the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center – Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC-AQD) conducted the virtual forum presenting the topics on culture of milkfish, shrimp, and mangrove crab, reviving the seed production of the native catfish, and the nursery and grow-out culture of pompano. SEAFDEC AQD catfish expert, Mr. Rosenio Pagador presented the study on Reviving the Native Catfish. The farming of native catfish gained more interest from among the 206 participants. Mr. Pagador shared the information regarding the construction of the freshwater hatchery which includes the culture of native catfish as there is still no available native catfish fry. Other resource persons who shared their knowledge include Dr. Fe Dolores Estepa on Mangrove Crab Culture, Mr. Victor Emmanuel Estilo on Milkfish, and Shrimp Culture, Ms. Ma. Irene Legaspi on Pompano Nursery and Grow-out Culture, and Mr. Rosenio Pagador on Reviving the Native Catfish.
