Farmer Makes Money from Pangasius
He realized this when he recently harvested 1,076 kilos of Pangasius from his three fishponds with an aggregate area of 406 square meters. His stock reached an average weight of 950 grams at harvest. In fact, some of it even weighed 1.5 kilograms (kg).
With this bountiful harvest, Cesario is thankful to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and Nueva Vizcaya Office of the Provincial Agriculturist for having awarded him this project, which is a technology verification on the optimal stocking density of Pangasius. This project, says Provincial Agriculturist Felipe Panganiban during the recent Harvest Field Day, is one way to attain higher fish sufficiency level for Nueva Ecija, which is a landlocked province.
