BFAR, SEAFDEC conduct mobile training for fishfarmers

Abstract

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of the Philippines and SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department are proposing to undertake a mobile training program for fishermen and fish farm operators in the Philippines to be implemented immediately and covering an initial 5-year period. The program seeks to accelerate the training, in situ, of subsistence fishermen and small fish farm operators on appropriate aquaculture technologies; set up strategic demonstration projects in various regions of the country; and contribute to the national effort of increasing food production.
