BFAR is transferring nine hatcheries across three provinces.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) of the United States Department of Agriculture recently completed the building of nine multi-species hatcheries and aquaculture facilities.

According to a DA-BFAR study released on Friday, twenty-one more are under development and will be completed in the first half of 2022.

Under 22 Republic Acts passed during the 16th, 17th, and 18th Congresses, 37 multi-species hatcheries and aquaculture facilities must be built across the country.

The hatcheries have been given a budget of PHP635 million.

Multi-species marine hatcheries in Perez, Quezon, and Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Lanao del Norte, both set to open in December 2021; and seven mangrove crab seed banks, nurseries, and grow-out production farms in Catanduanes’ Baras, Viga, Panganiban, Bagamanoc, San Andres, Caramoran, and Pandan.

Agriculture Secretary William Dar has stated that hatcheries are one of the government’s top priorities in terms of food security.

The Legislated Hatcheries Program of the DA-BFAR is also constantly working to meet criteria for aquaculture seed stocks and reduce reliance on imported fry.

It also intends to broaden the range of cultivable species, encourages species diversification, and provide a location for fisheries extension activities.

Three mangrove crab seed banks, nurseries, and grow-out production farms are being built in Catanduanes; nine multi-species marine hatcheries are being built in Quezon, Albay, Cebu, Surigao del Norte, and Surigao del Sur; two multi-species freshwater hatcheries are being built in Agusan del Norte and Lanao del Norte (with research center), and one multi-species marine nursery is being built-in

In Eastern Visayas, seven Provincial Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Training, Development, and Product Centers are also being built.
