The delegates were ushered to the informative exhibits featuring aquaculture commodities and the research and information dissemination activities of SEAFDEC/AQD. They also visited the Integrated Fish Broodstock and Hatchery Complex and FishWorld. To make the delegates’ visit more gratifying, they were served Ilonggo native delicacies.
