Fisheries science conference convening in Clark this month – BusinessWorld Online
FISHERIES RESEARCHERS are convening later this month in Clark to present findings that will make fishing more sustainable and financially more rewarding to industry participants, conference organizers said.
The 11th Fisheries Scientific Conference (Fish SciCon) will take place at the Royce Hotel in Clark on Sept. 24-25, featuring presentations by the host organization, the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) and other researchers.
The NFRDI program includes presentations on oyster, mangrove crab, milkfish, tilapia in brackish water, and tilapia in fresh water, as well as programs like the Knowledge Products Repository and the National Stock Assessment Program.
Resource persons will also discuss capture fisheries, aquaculture, postharvest operations, and biotechnology, organizers said.
Scholars of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources will also present their research at a competition during the conference. — Andre Christopher H. Alampay
