Trends in cultivation management after the decline of prawn production in brackishwater aquaculture in the Philippines
Share
Abstract
A survey was conducted in Regions 1 (Ilocos), 3 (Central Luzon), 6 (Western Visayas) and 7 (Central Visayas) of the Philippines between 20 May and 25 July 2002. Questionnaires were distributed and interviews were performed during the study to establish the trends in cultivation management after the decline of prawn production in brackish water aquaculture. It was observed that the farm number in the four regions accounted for 67% of the total number of farms in the country.
