VIRAC, Catanduanes- Catanduanes State Colleges (CSC) has received an amount of P1.5 million from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) for inland fishery development last week. | |||
The program aims to enhance the fish production as well as to develop a sustained livelihood through technology infusion in inland fisheries development to enhance food security and alleviate poverty. | |||
There are five proposed projects that will be located in the CSC campuses in Virac and Panganiban with extensions at Viga and Bagamanoc. | |||
One of the proposed projects is the Small Holder and Small Farmer Integrated Rice-Fish-Chicken-Gabi Farming System which shall involve 50 farmers and fishermen. | |||
Another is the small scale sustainable organic tilapia and growing of juvenile crabs with low-cost feeds in nylon nets which will be done at the CSC Fishpond in Palnab, Virac, Ctanaduanes Crab Center, CSC Panganiban and selected mangrove areas. | |||
The third proposed project is the genetically-improved tilapia and some endemic species in selected rivers and streams of Catanduanes which was proposed for the culture of fast-growing tilapia species and native freshwater fish such as “cabonbon.” | |||
Another is the “Tilapia Product Fortification, Packaging and Marketing,” which is intended to produce tilapia fish balls and siomai, ready to serve tilapia curry and other products. | |||
Lastly, there shall be “Training and Advocacy for Sustainable Aquatic Ecosystem” wherein participants must undergo a 54-hour course equivalent to a three-unit course proposed to be accredited either at Bachelor or Master’s Level at CSC or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. | |||
Moreover, BFAR shall closely monitor the implementation of the projects to ensure that it would benefit all stakeholders and contribute to poverty alleviation, food security and job generation. | |||
A total of 2,327 fishermen, farmers and local women will benefit from the projects. | |||
