Dagupan fish industry gets needed boost
July 24, 2010
DAGUPAN CITY, Pangasinan – The local agriculture office here distributed over 600,000 bangus fingerlings to hundreds of fisherfolk in two barangays of the city sorely affected by recent fish kills.
The fingerlings were distributed among over 55 fishpond owners in Barangays Salapingeo and Lomboy whose supposed bangus produce were ravaged by the recent fish kill.
The huge volume of bangus fry given to the fish pond owners is part of the commitment of the city government and the local agriculture office to help breathe life back into local fish ponds.
The local government will also distribute more bangus fry to more fisherfolk in the city in the coming days in order to revive the vibrance of the fishing industry which is the major source of livelihood of thousands of individuals considering that it is a coastal area.
Dagupan City is known for being the major source of the so-called Bonoan bangus which is widely sold in most parts of Northern and Central Luzon. (Dexter A. See)
