These fish cage modules are\na part of the Magat Dam Aqua-Park Project of the Bureau Resources of\n& Aquatic Fisheries\/ Cordillera Administrative Region (BFAR-CAR). The project is composed of the cage modules and a\nfloating house. Out of the 10 cage modules, nine have been established to\nprovide areas for the fisherfolk to conduct their aquaculture activities\ntowards improving their nutritional status as well as increasing their income.\nIt is used for grow-out of tilapia and carp species. The fish cage modules are\nlocated within the Baligatan area of the reservoir. The fish cages are also\ndesigned to withstand typhoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the nine modules\nhas four cages, plus mooring\nsystem, and service boats. Each cage has been stocked with 2,500 fish fingerlings. The tenth module has six cages\nintended to be used as technology demonstration project of BFAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to\nensure the friendly nature of the operation, the alternate-day feeding strategy\nhas been recommended (skip feeding) which implies less feed provided and hence\nreduced possible pollution. In addition to the environmental safety of such\napproach, its economic feasibility has been reported.\n\nNote:\nMagat Dam, which was completed in 1982, is one of the largest dams in the\nPhilippines located in Ifugao. The Magat Dam and reservoir has a total water area\nof 4,500 hectares. By law, about 10% of the area can be used for aquaculture.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
