Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center – Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC AQD) packages and builds science-based ready-for-handover operational businesses for new and re-focusing entrepreneurs. Facilities are constructed on client site and made operational through on-the-job training for technicians and employees of our clients.
ABOT AquaNegosyo was conceived in September 2006 in a Business Concept Forum organized by Department of Science & Technology (DOST) Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE) Philippine Emerging Start-Ups Open (PESO).
The ABOT AquaNegosyo mainly uses a fusion of technology and business management strategies. The SEAFDEC/AQD aquaculture technologies are the main product lines packaged and delivered to entrepreneurs for the latter’s purchase and consumption.
For hatchery and nursery, the technology packages are abalone, mudcrab, multi-species marine fishes (grouper, milkfish, snapper, seabass), native catfish, tilapia and bighead carp, freshwater prawn, and tiger shrimp.
Grow-out has the same species list, with the addition of green water culture and seaweed farming.
By signing for the ABOT AquaNegosyo, the client- entrepreneur adopts the SEAFDEC/AQD technologies that become a key component of his/her business. ABOT AquaNegosyo enables SEAFDEC/AQD to generate additional income to augment its resources to support staff remunerations and benefits, and its operations, while performing its mandate of disseminating aquaculture information and technologies to its stakeholders and the public.

I am the Chairman of the RAFOFA MULTI-PURPOSE COOPERATIVE, a coop of brackishwater fishpond operators at Ragay, Camarines Sur engaged in prawn and crab production, the latter is the LGU entry in the OTOP Program. We want to be assisted on current technologies in crab culture that might be able to increase our productivity as well financial assistance that may be available from your end. Information on current status of crab hatchery and nursery technologies is of great importance to our coop.
