[아시아뉴스통신=조날드 타파난 기자] The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Region 3, Central Luzon is encouraging fish farmers to culture tilapia for a sustainable livelihood income and steady flow of fish supply.
BFAR regional director Wilfredo Cruz, a statement on Tuesday, asked the fish farmers to take opportunity of the free webinars that they will be conducting to have the necessary knowledge on how to culture the species and gain high yields. He said this is one of the interventions being undertaken by BFAR aside from the dispersal of the various fingerlings in the region to uplift the lives of the fisherfolk.
Cruz said the first webinar slated on September 2 is about how to culture and manage tilapia in grow-out ponds. The next webinar is on September 4 on organic tilapia farming in ponds.
