Abstract

In the 1.5 km coast of Buyu-an, Tigbauan, Iloilo where SEAFDEC is located, more than 20 backyard hatcheries operated during the shrimp boom years in the '80s. Some of SEAFDEC's research aides, technicians, and managers even resigned just so they can manage their own hatcheries. The popularity of the business also attracted Sherlito “Rock” Balacanta, a hardworking SEAFDEC employee and dedicated family man. Although a research technician, he would often join in overtime jobs in other offices. Rock extensively discussed his plans of putting up a hatchery, asking officemate friends about the business. He made his first actual run when a friend gave him some discarded nauplii. From these, Rock produced 200,000 fry in two 2-ton tanks lent to him by another friend.
