Euryhaline fish: A profit-making culture species for freshwater fish farmers /
Frederick Muyot
There have been multiple instances where local fish farmers from the freshwater aquaculture sector approached the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), inquiring, “Do you have any suggestions for new cultured species for freshwater ponds and cages?” Typically, both agencies would recommend tilapia, milkfish, ulang, carp, and catfish as excellent freshwater species. However, fish farmers often express concerns on high feed costs and low net returns associated with these species.
