The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) joined the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources–National Freshwater Technology Center (BFAR-NFTC) in welcoming Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel, Jr. for a ceremonial crayfish stocking activity, today, January 15. Recognized as an emerging high-value aquaculture species, crayfish took center stage as Secretary Tiu Laurel, who arrived with key DA officials and foreign investors, underscored the government and private sector interest in advancing freshwater aquaculture innovation in the country. “We envision this program to contribute to our national production and supply the rising demand for crayfish especially in the tourist spots in the country like Bohol and Palawan, which eventually improves the livelihood of our fisherfolk,” said Sec. Tiu Laurel. Along with the BFAR Officials, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, CLSU President, and Dr. Karl Marx A. Quiazon, CLSU Freshwater Aquaculture Center Director, joined the event and took part in the launching of the project aimed to improve the production of the Australian Redclaw Crayfish. This initiative further strengthens CLSU’s potential in contributing to local and national development in the aquaculture sector by conducting field testing and the possible integration of rice-crayfish culture. Capping off the program, Sec. Tiu Laurel together with industry-partners proceeded with the stocking of crayfish in the pond witnessed by BFAR National Director Elizer Salilig, Region 3 Director Wilfredo M. Cruz, BFAR-NFTC Chief Dr. Ma. Jodecel C. Danting, and other DA-BFAR officials, staff, and CLSU faculty and staff researchers.
