RP starts pilot aquaculture support system program
Share
Abstract
The Philippines has set into motion an aquaculture industry development support scheme, jointly undertaken by 4 institutions. The project model provides for two components: a macro component which covers the island of Panay, and a micro or village level component concerned with milkfish, crustacean (including sugpo, or tiger prawn), and mollusc production. Details of the proposed infrastructure, technology, field implementation and management are given.
