Seeing the tremendous potential in slipper lobster production, researchers at SEAFDEC/AQD embarked on the task of developing hatchery techniques in the Philippines.

In a world’s first, researchers successfully spawned the round scad Decapterus macrosoma in captivity at SEAFDEC/AQD in Tigbauan, Iloilo, marking a critical milestone towards farming the fish, locally known as galunggong.

Automated fish farming run by sensors, artificial intelligence, and powered by the internet and big data is seen to be the next frontier in sustainable production to meet the future demand for seafood.

World-class quality testing can now be enjoyed by fish farmers and researchers for their feeds and water samples at the Centralized Analytical Laboratory (CAL) of SEAFDEC/AQD in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
