The three-year, P10.9-million “Conservation and Aquaculture Research and Development Project for Glossogobius giuris (Biyang Puti) in Naujan Lake” has been given the green light to be implemented, the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) has bared.
“Due to its abundance and popularity as dried fish in the market, the indigenous fish is in danger of being overexploited. To address this, a project titled, “Conservation and Aquaculture Research and Development Project for Glossogobius giuris (Biyang Puti) in Naujan Lake” was recently approved for implementation,” the Council said in a statement.

The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) has announced the development of a technology which can be used as soil and water conditioner for tilapia aquaculture.
The DOST-PCAARRD said the so-called Zeolite-Silica Nanocomposite (ZNC) was developed by a research team from the Central Luzon State University (CLSU), led by Dr. Juvy J. Monserate.
“ZNC is a novel material synthesized and fully characterized at the Central Luzon State University (CLSU)-Nanotechnology R&D (Research and Development) Facility. It is effective in purifying intensified pond water due to its enhanced properties such as 262 m2 /g (surface area), smooth surface morphology, diameter size 38.26±8.32 nanometer, and amorphous,” it said in a statement.

The Philippine Council for Agriculture Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) announced that the development of new Gumamela (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and Hoya are “underway” as it launched two new breeding projects on the two ornamental plants. The first project focused on the development of new Hibiscus varieties through hybridization and embryo rescue. It was aimed at producing locally-adapted gumamela plants that can bloom well even under hot or tropical conditions, the DOST-PCAARRD said. “In the Philippines, there is a preference for imported or international varieties of Gumamela because of their large, multi-colored petals. However, these varieties do not bloom well in low and hot areas of the country,” it noted.
