To ensure food security and rural development, AQD conducts extensive research on over 20 commercially important species, including milkfish, shrimp, and tilapia, at specialized stations located in Tigbauan, Dumangas, Igang, and Binangonan. The department provides essential technical services, including disease diagnosis, analytical testing, and hatchery seedstock, while actively transferring science-based technologies through short-term training courses, internships, and a global digital repository. By focusing on key priorities like fry sufficiency and cost-efficient feed development, AQD continues to provide leadership in strengthening stakeholder capacities and advancing sustainable aquatic resource management across Southeast Asia. 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6624 Catfish culture This brochure introduces the essential practices in catfish hatchery, nursery, and grow-out culture, focusing on the African catfish <i>Clarias gariepinus</i>, a hardy and fast-growing species suited for small-scale and commercial aquaculture. It summarizes key steps in broodstock preparation, hormone-induced breeding, egg fertilization, larval rearing, pond management, feeding, and stocking techniques. The guide also outlines proper grow-out procedures and harvest considerations, and includes a brief financial analysis showing that catfish culture can be profitable even at backyard scale. 2025-11-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6615 Fish Health Laboratory Services Updated version with revised prices effective August 2025. 2025-08-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10862/6616 Analytical Services Updated version with revised prices effective August 2025. 2025-08-01T00:00:00Z
