On tilapia, Dominguez said that 90% of the country’s tilapia is still grown in traditional ponds that are extensive and low-yielding. Dominguez represents the Alsons Aquaculture Corporation, one of the top companies in the country producing processed milkfish and selling it to Filipino communities all over the world. Besides processing milkfish products, the company also works with small fish farmers in Mindanao to promote their growth and include them in the value chain of Sarangani Bay processed milkfish.Gur Ben Uri then proceeded to introduce Dagan Agricultural Automation’s developed Recirculation Aquaculture System .
Gur showed how Dagan was able to introduce their aquaculture systems to different regions in the world, such as China. A video demonstrated the large-scale construction of the company’s RAS operation in Fujian. From the video, Dagan’s RAS uses an aquaponic system where lettuce and herbs growing on water serves as a biological filter for the water provided to manmade fishponds, and in return, the water from the fishponds carry nutrients that would enrich the plants’ growth.
Beyond the extensive and intensive aquaculture systems, Levanon also shows the true benefit of RAS: high productivity, low water consumption, and not dependant on a marine location, meaning RAS is the future for land-based aquaculture.
