SEAFDEC/AQD Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center | Aquaculture Department

SEAFDEC/AQD advocates skip-feeding for tilapia as a good fish cage management as this cuts feed cost by half. This is the result of the collaborative 2006-2009 study among AQD, Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), and Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).

SEAFDEC/AQD ironed out the list of studies, proponents and activities for 2012 and a broad plan for 2013-2016 that will address the goals of its five thematic R&D programs. This was done 15-26 August at AQD’s main station in Iloilo, Philippines.

On 22 August, the 5-day course on Freshwater prawn hatchery and grow-out will start. Venue is AQD’s Binangonan Freshwater Station in Rizal, Philippines; training fee, Php 6000 or USD 500 per person. Email mreguia@seafdec.org.ph
