The <strong>Bureau</strong> has increased its fi ngerlings<br />
production <strong>and</strong> dispersal / distribution vis-à-vis<br />
its target for the year, as enabled by good weather<br />
condition <strong>and</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> water. The bureau<br />
overshot its goal on tilapia fi ngerlings – the top<br />
species being produced <strong>and</strong> dispersed by the <strong>of</strong>fi ce,<br />
by almost 15%. Production <strong>and</strong> dispersal for the<br />
other species likewise increased (Table 1).<br />
The above production, which came from BFAR<br />
RO2 fi sh farms, were distributed to 93 municipalities,<br />
3 city governments, 5 provinces, 2,230 fi sh farmers<br />
including backyard fi shpond operators; dispersed<br />
to communal bodies <strong>of</strong> water such as small water<br />
impounding projects (SWIPs) small farm reservoirs<br />
(SFRs); <strong>and</strong> allocated as stock for techno-demos,<br />
KALAHI projects <strong>and</strong> as rehabilitation assistance<br />
for calamity – stricken fi sherfolk.<br />
The BFAR National Freshwater <strong>Fisheries</strong><br />
DA Sec. Proceso Alcala (fourth from<br />
left) <strong>and</strong> Dr. Melchor Tayamen, BFAR<br />
<strong>and</strong> LGU <strong>of</strong>fi cials lead the dispersal <strong>of</strong><br />
tilapia fi ngerlings in Nueva Vizcaya<br />
during his visit in the province.<br />
Technology Center, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija augmented<br />
the regional production by providing 9.153 M<br />
improved-GET EXCEL, 0.062 M common carp, <strong>and</strong><br />
ornamental fi shes. The <strong>of</strong>fi ce likewise purchased<br />
African hito fi ngerlings, P. vannamei post larvae<br />
from private suppliers, for its various projects.<br />
All these seed inputs were provided by the<br />
agency to recipient, free <strong>of</strong> charge. Modes <strong>of</strong><br />
allocation or distribution were either under the<br />
regular dispersal program <strong>of</strong> the agency, as typhoon<br />
or calamity rehabilitation assistance, or inputs for<br />
demos. The fi rst two modes are coursed thru the<br />
LGU, who then determine the fi nal recipients. In<br />
addition, walk-in clients (backyard operators) are<br />
given free fi ngerlings outright with maximum <strong>of</strong><br />
1,000 pieces per recipient. Special requests, mostly<br />
from fi sherfolk associations or groups, are also<br />
granted by the agency.<br />
