In order for the Philippines to be self-sufficient in meeting the fry requirements of the milkfish industry, there is a need to maximize fry production through the satellite system by utilizing the existing vacant facilities of abandoned shrimp hatcheries. This system is estimated to produce ±50-100 fry M/year (Year 1), thereby filling up part of …
The project aims to develop and set-up satellite hatcheries in selected pilot sites of the country. To date, the Philippines has a number of complete milkfish hatcheries in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. However, fry supply is still not enough to supply the needs of milkfish grow out ponds, pens and cages, because a lot of …
The project sustains and further strengthens the IP-TBM operations of the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU) through the support of DOST-PCAARRD. It involves the following: Harnessing and further strengthening the capacities of PSAU – IPTBM through patent landscaping and mining; Discovering emerging technological trends on the selected ISP and recommend priority R&D programs through patent …
With the enormous opportunity in bangus fry requirement of the province and competitive advantage in terms of location, the ALT Hatchery and Aquaventures, in Panabo CIty aims to achieve higher production in succeeding years as it plans to increase the number of bangus broodstock and improve its technical capabilities through the assistance of DOST-PCAARRD and …

Aquaculture contributes significantly to the country’s food supply, employment and national income. However, the continuous use of surface waters as sink for domestic and industrial wastes introduces hazardous toxic elements in the aquatic environment. These toxic elements make their way in biological systems such as the country’s primary aquacultural produce. With consumers and regulatory bodies …
The program will utilize genome-based approaches to generate and develop genomics-enabled resources, tools, and technologies designed to improve milkfish aquaculture production. The program will focus on two key aspects: 1) Genetic improvement of broodstock through assessment and management of broodstock diversity, and generation of genomic resources for improvement of performance and production traits; 2) Improving …

DOST-PCAARRD improved the supply of milkfish fry for grow-out culture, through the establishment of additional core-satellite hatchery network. The core hatchery will sustain the satellite hatcheries to maintain a steady supply of quality milkfish fry and fingerlings in the country. This system is estimated to produce 100-150M fry/year, filling up part of the gap in …
The Philippine milkfish industry had expanded from traditional extensive culture in brackishwater ponds to semi-intensive and intensive culture systems including off-shore pens and net cages. These had resulted to the establishment of more private and government-owned milkfish hatcheries operating in the country. Despite the documented success of milkfish hatchery, there is still an existing shortage …

The project aimed to address the current problems of the Philippine Milkfish Industry such as declining supply of stocks from the wild, high mortality rate, and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through developing a novel dietary synbiotic product made from endogenous probiotics and under-utilized plant-based raw materials as prebiotic. Significant accomplishment of the project was …
The program titled, “Genetics for Sustainable Milkfish Aquaculture” is composed of the following projects: Project 1: Development of molecular markers for milkfish broodstock management Project 2: Genetic and morphological variations in hatchery and wild populations of milkfish Project 3: Cloning sequence analysis of lectin genes from Chanos chanos F. Project 4: Molecular identification and detection …
