Milkfish farming in the Philippines has a long history and great importance, being widely regarded as the way to domestic food security. But the industry has faced new challenges in the past decade, with the advent of many other farmed aquatic species, mostly cash crops and “export winners,” and with the increased pressure to intensify production in brackishwater ponds and in marine pens and cages. There are no up-to-date government statistics on the area and production of marine pens and cages, but industry insiders estimate a yearly production of about 25,000 mt of sea-grown milkfish in 1996- 1998, mostly from Pangasinan, but also from Quezon, Davao, Cebu, Bohol, Panay, Samar, and Negros.
