A detailed account is given of milkfish farming procedures generally practised in the Philippines. The following phases are identified: 1) collection and/or procurement of seed for fry phase; 2) fry rearing; 3) culture and production in grow-out ponds; 4) milkfish culture and production in freshwater fish pens. Harvesting and post-harvest handling are described. Problems and constraints of milkfish farming in the Philippines are also examined.
