A lookat the fisheries production of region 02 would revealthat the aquaculture sector accounts for 24% ofthe 63,466 MT total fisheries production for 2009.Although, the total percentage is lower than theaquaculture chunk in the national level, an analysisof the trend would reveal an outstanding growthrate of 14.8% since 2001. Tilapia, by far, accountsfor the biggest chunk under aquaculture productionwith 74% and 26% (from aquaculture and municipalinland production) of the total fisheries productionin region 02.BFAR RO2 continues to disseminateaquaculture technologies not only to increaseproduction and maintain the upward trend, butmore so, to increase fish farmers income, lowertheir production cost in view of continued rise inthe price of inputs, and at the same time safeguardthe environment and make aquaculture operationsa sustainable venture.Demo projects are usually established atthe farmers’ level, in order to bring the technologyat the very doorsteps of the end users – the farmersthemselves. Farmer cooperators are chosen on thebasis of recommendation from the LGUs and uponevaluation by the agency. There are generally twotypes of demo projects, one is full-support andthe other is on counterparting scheme. Under fullsupport,the agency provides all the inputs such asfeeds, fingerlings, fertilizer and technical assistance.While on counterparting-scheme, the agencyprovides only technical support and fingerlings, thesedemos usually are targeted by the LGUs. It can besaid that the full support projects, being dole-out innature, are also means to jumpstart small fish cultureventures in the countryside.For 2009 the agency was able to establishseveral full-support demo projects as follows:Freshwater aquaculture technologies20 sites rice-tilapia cultureCagayan· Alcala (3)
