Except for the Binangonan Freshwater Station (BFS) in Rizal,
study tours to AQD substations are coordinated from the Tigbauan
Main Station.
The Igang Marine Substation in Guimaras Island, which is about
an hour-and a half by boat from Iloilo City, is a natural
shelter for milkfish, seabass and grouper broodstock. It is the
site where AQD researchers completed the cycle of tiger shrimp
Penaeus monodon and milkfish Chanos chanos in 1975
and 1983, respectively.
You can see our demonstration brackishwater ponds in Dumangas,
located 40 km east of Iloilo City. The Dumangas Brackishwater
Station is a 16-ha pond area for research and technology
verification.
