The Department of Agriculture–Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources on Thursday said that mitigating measures are in place to ensure enough fish supply as the country braces for the onset of El Niño.
Escoto said El Niño may be favorable to archipelagic species such as tuna and sardines because these organisms prefer warmer temperatures. The El Niño phenomenon is characterized by the abnormal warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean and below-normal rainfall.
“The DA-BFAR is encouraging fisherfolk to have good aquaculture practices like having the appropriate stock or number of fingerlings in their cages so they won’t lack oxygen, thus lessening the probability of fish kill occurrence,” he said.
