MYSTERIOUS MILKFISH: INCREASING YIELD THROUGH
RESEARCH
FIS148 Video
For centuries, Asians have gathered milkfish fry from the ocean and raised them in ponds. About 100,000 tons of this tasty species of fish is harvested each year in the Philippines alone. Yet its life cycle in the wild remains a mystery. This program documents how researchers have succeeded in breeding milkfish in captivity. It shows how their gradually increasing knowledge of the species is leading to greater productivity in the milkfish industry. Also available in French and Spanish. 27 minutes.
