The Philippine government aims to boost food production during COVID-19 by providing urban dwellers aquaponics kits that will allow them to raise fish and grow vegetables. The country’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has begun distributing 10 units of the aquaponics system to 10 beneficiaries in communities in the City of Naga, eight hours outside of the country’s capital of Manila, according to the Philippine Information Agency. Similar equipment were also delivered to Tuguegarao City, a municipality in the northeastern province of Cagayan.

Bluefin tuna are a viable commercial species that command great prices, such that wild populations are overexploited to supply the lucrative sushi and sashimi markets. The Pacific bluefin tuna population is now just about three per cent of what it was when records started (circa 1930). Now, one U.S. firm is developing solutions to bolster the bluefin supply and remove limitations for closed-cycle bluefin farming in North America.
