To “intensely” address the problem on the shortage of quality seed material (propagules) and increase productivity and profitability within the seaweed sector, technical staff of the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources attended a 10-day training course at SEAFDEC/AQD.

With the need to promote and disseminate freshwater aquaculture technologies within the community, SEAFDEC/AQD initiated and has been conducting an international training course on “Community-Based Freshwater Aquaculture (CBFWA)” since 2007 with funding support from the Government of Japan – Trust Fund.
