Another Taipei visit for BSL
CITY Mayor Benjamin S. Lim led city officials, key personnel of Dagupan and other coastal towns, and private fish farm owners on a visit to Taipei in Taiwan last Wednesday until Sunday, to study the successful fisheries and aquaculture program of that neighboring Asian country.
The study tour was organized in coordination with the Institute of Marine Resource Management of the National Taiwan Ocean University represented by director and professor Dr. Ching-Ta (Ted) Chuang.
Chuang has been to Dagupan City during the 2nd National Bangus Industry Congress where he lectured on minimizing the cost of bangus production based on Taiwan’s experience.
“Through this trip, we hope to learn new fishing technologies and programs that we could replicate in our respective localities to boost our aquaculture industry,” Lim said in a letter to Chuang.
Chuang noted that the fisheries and aquaculture sector has made a significant contribution to Taiwan’s economy.
“Our goal is to pursue further cooperation with the related industries and organizations both at home and abroad,” Chuang said.
According to City Agriculture Officer Emma Molina, Taiwan’s fishing technologies are more advanced than in the mainland.
The first leg of the proposed itinerary of the Dagupan team was in Kaohsiung where the group visited milkfish and tilapia farms and recreational fishing harbors even as they met with fishermen associations. The group proceeded the next day to the Pin Tung Fisheries Research Instutute, Grouper Farms and the Pintung Government.
The group will also visit the Fisheries Research Institute to learn more about tilapia, eel and aquaculture gene bank.
A tour of Taipei capped the visit of the group.
The rest of the delegates in the study tour are San Fabian Mayor Majamito Libunao, Jr.; Dasol Mayor Angelita Jimenez; Binmaley Councilor Leo Urmaza; Sangguniang Panlungsod members Alex de Venecia, Nicanor Aquino and Teofilo Guadiz III; Georgina Guadiz, wife of Councilor Guadiz; City Agriculture Officer Emma Molina; City Agriculture Office Technologist Felita Ugaban; Executive Assistant Emmanuel Bamba; fish farm owners Jessie Doria, Danilo de Sola, Barangay Captain Marcelino Fernandez, Antonio Caneng and Chi Wang Lim; and Alexander Romulo Siapno, an entrepreneur.
