|| To strengthen evidence-based fisheries management and support the development of appropriate harvest strategies, fisheries data from Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) 6 and 9 were consolidated, reviewed, and analyzed through a series of workshops conducted by DA-NFRDI, through its Capture Fisheries Research and Development Division.

The workshops, organized through the National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP) and the FISHCRRM 1.1 component of FISHCORE Project, brought together project leaders, assistant project leaders, and data analysts from the different regions comprising the two FMAs. The activities aimed to improve the analysis of fisheries data for priority species and generate information that can guide fisheries management decisions.

For FMA 6, member regions convened in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, on July 21–24, while FMA 9 conducted data consolidation workshop in Surigao del Norte on August 25–28.

|| Five students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) completed their 250-hour internship at the Integrated Research Laboratory Division (IRLD) of DA-NFRDI under the second cycle of the Students’ Training Support (STrainS) program.

The interns formally concluded their training during a culmination program held on September 2, 2026, in Quezon City, where they presented their accomplishment reports and shared their experiences and key learnings throughout the internship.

Two of the interns, Rhenian Claire Gariando and Sean Andrei Oden, both BS Biology students, were assigned at the Microbiology Section, while Karl Erasquin, Justine Carl Morales, and Aiko Tanaka, BS Chemistry students, were assigned at the Chemistry Section.

𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔 𝗠𝗼!

This September, we celebrate the 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 (MANA Mo), a time to recognize the Philippines’ rich maritime heritage and deepen our appreciation of the seas and aquatic resources that sustain our nation.

In celebration, DA-NFRDI has lined up a series of activities to engage the public, raise awareness, and spark meaningful conversations on our country’s maritime and archipelagic concerns.

Anchored on this year’s theme, “𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻, 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮-𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗮𝗻,” we are reminded that protecting our maritime rights goes hand in hand with caring for our seas and responsibly managing our aquatic resources.

Let’s celebrate our seas—and do our part to protect them!

MANA Mo is observed pursuant to Proclamation No. 316, s. 2017, which recognizes several maritime-related activities, including International Coastal Clean-up Day, National Maritime Day, and Fish Conservation Week.

|| Metagenomics allows scientists to study the vast communities of microorganisms in water, sediments, and aquatic animals by analyzing their genetic material directly from environmental samples. For DA-NFRDI molecular biologist, Dr. Minerva Fatimae Ventolero, Career Scientist I, this technology offers valuable insights into microbial diversity, ecosystem health, disease-causing organisms, nutrient cycling, and antibiotic resistance, areas that conventional laboratory methods may not fully capture.

In fisheries and aquaculture, metagenomics can help detect potential pathogens early, monitor environmental conditions, and identify beneficial microbes that may improve fish health and survival. While the technology remains costly and technically demanding in the Philippines, greater investment in sequencing, bioinformatics, training, and research collaboration could make it an increasingly important tool for building healthier aquatic ecosystems and a more resilient fisheries sector.

|| To equip milkfish farmers and fisheries stakeholders with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively apply improved production practices, DA-NFRDI, through the Brackishwater Fisheries Research and Development Center (BFRDC), conducted a training on grow-out culture in brackishwater ponds on August 24–27, 2026, in Pacita, Lala, Lanao del Norte.

The training, conducted under the Aquabiz School-Technology Incubation (ABS-TBI) program, sought to strengthen the technical and entrepreneurial capacities of incubatees and participants to adopt improved, science-based packages of technology (POTs) for milkfish farming, while promoting sustainable aquaculture practices and livelihood opportunities.

Sharing from BFAR Philippines

DA-BFAR completed the first batch of its 10-day National Aquatic Wildlife Enforcement Officer (AWEO) Training Program on August 10-21, 2026, in Quezon Province, marking a major step in strengthening the agency’s capacity to conserve, protect, regulate, and enforce laws on aquatic wildlife.

The training brought together regional representatives, technical and institutional partners, and BFAR Central and Regional Office officials, including representatives from the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), Philippine Aquatic Red List Committee (PARLC), Legal, Adjudication, Regulatory and Enforcement Division, and Fisheries Inspection and Quarantine Division.
