#UsapangAgrikultura | Tiniyak ng Department of Agriculture - National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI) na nananatiling stable ang supply ng isdang Maliputo.

Ayon kay DA-NFRDI Science Research Specialist II Janet Baral, dumarami na ang mga mangingisda na gustong mag-alaga ng Maliputo dahil tumataas ang demand nito sa merkado.

Dagdag pa ng eksperto na patuloy ang kanilang isinagawang pag-aaral at pag-aalaga sa nasabing isda upang mapanatiling masigla ang industriya ng Maliputo sa buong bansa.

Binigyang-diin pa ni Baral na nais nila na maging buong taon ang pangingitlog ng Maliputo katulad ng Tilapia at Bangus.

Bukas ang kanilang opisina sa publiko na nais pag-aralan ang Maliputo Breeding.

Sa ngayon, naglalaro sa P450 - P1,000 kada kilo ang presyo nito sa merkado. | via Christopher Tirambulo
