ATI Gives Glimpse on Potentials of Tilapia Farming

BFAR aquaculturist Corazon Dela Cruz during ATI's Free Seminar on Fish Production and Processing

DILIMAN, Quezon City—To impart proper and sustainable ways of fish farming and boost its industry, the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) led a free seminar on fish production and processing.

In this event, the potentials of tilapia farming were discussed. Known as the “aquatic chicken” because of its high protein content and lower market price, tilapia has become the second widely cultivated fish species in the country.
