Sandfish, profitable sea cucumbers, also supply bioremediation
Sandfish, a high-value sea cucumber, supports the aquaculture of other fish species by cleaning up waste on the bottoms of ponds or sea cages.

On-site diagnostic kit identifies WSSV in shrimp
Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a highly specific technique that can amplify DNA in isothermal conditions. The kit can amplify the target gene of the pathogen using a single temperature and give results in one hour.
Responsibility
Low-volume, high-density culture system effective with pompano in Philippines
A low-volume, high-density culture technology developed through the Soy-In-Aquaculture Program helped show farmers that extruded floating feeds can be used in the cage culture of high-value marine fish.
Responsibility
Cooperative compliance in the Philippines
Compliance with E.U. food laws was beneficial to aquaculture in the Philippines, but increased costs also initially created inequities for small farmers.
Innovation & Investment
Philippines farmers apply ASA-IM high-density technology to raise marine fish
The Soy-In-Aquaculture project in the Philippines has introduced low-volume, high-density cage culture production methodology for use with high-value marine species. The technology was developed to maximize farmers’ profits, improve productivity, reduce feed-conversion ratios and limit environmental degradation.

Philippine studies support moderate feeding in tilapia
Authors carried out a series of experiments at and around Central Luzon State University designed to determine optimal feeding strategies for tilapia.
Intelligence
Tropical abalone culture in Philippines
The relatively short culture period and an established export market for tropical abalone make it a strong aquaculture candidate.
