Philippines Fish Farmers Symposium
by Remedios Bolivar
s
part of the celebration of the 25th founding anniversary of the
College of Fisheries, the PD/A CRSP sponsored a fish farmers symposium
on 27 June 2001 at the Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC) Conference
Hall, Central Luzon State University, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
The primary objective was to disseminate information on how farmers
can improve pond management practices. A farmers forum was held
to provide an opportunity for farmers to share their experiences,
problems, and other concerns in tilapia farming. The symposium was
attended by about 140 fish farmers, students, and research staff
from various agencies, including FAC researchers.
Certificates of attendance were awarded to the participants
at the Fish Farmers Symposium. Shown in the photo are (L-R)
Prof. Rodora Bartolome, Dr. Remedios Bolivar (CRSP Philippines
Project PI), and Dr. Ruben Sevilleja (FAC Director)
The symposium highlighted pond management. Five lectures were presented
by members of the faculty of the College of Fisheries and the FAC:
• Dr. Tereso A. Abella, Dean of the College of Fisheries, presented
an overview of the Philippine freshwater tilapia aquaculture industry;
• Dr. Remedios B. Bolivar, the PD/A CRSP host country principal
investigator, presented tilapia feeding strategies tested under
the CRSP Philippines Project;
• Dr. Arsenia G. Cagauan, Chief of the Research Division, FAC,
talked about water quality management in tilapia grow-out production;
• Prof. Apolinario V. Yambot discussed topics on fish health
management; and
• Dr. Ruben Sevilleja, Director of FAC, gave a lecture on cost
benefit of tilapia pond production.
The CRSP Philippines Project operates in collaboration with Florida
International University, with Chris Brown serving as the US Principal
Investigator.
