In the Philippines at present, milkfish farming in ponds includes a wide range of intensities, systems, and practices (Table 1). M any commercial farms now stock at rates of 10,000-30,000 fingerlings per hectare, encouraged by the improved market price of milkfish, the availability of good-quality feeds, and the need to recover from losses in shrimp farming. However, there is no information on how many farmers are engaged in which farming system, and in particular, the proportion now operating at semi-intensive to intensive levels. A new industry profile must be obtained to guide possible interventions. Economic analyses must be made of commercial farms at various farming intensities. It is well to remember that high-intensity farming involves not only higher stocking and feeding rates, but also higher levels of other farm inputs. Higher intensity milkfish farming may result in higher yields but not necessarily in higher profits.
