Our existing cages is located in Lilo-an Southern Leyte. We have 4 fishcages and can hold up to 20,000 pcs of which has 5,000 / cage. Our parents ceased the operation ealier for the reason that, only then caretaker benefited the profit of the said business. We are not quiete sure as to how many months can the milkfish be harvested. They said it is only for 45 days. The fingerlings that they put in the cages are the small ones cos the size of those is only 1 inch at .80 each in php. We will be keeping in touch with you and will often visit this site for more updates also from other people's point of view. Likewise we visited the SEAFDEC website to search for training schedules on "HOW TO GROW MILKFISH" but currently, can't find one. Presently, me and my bestfriend Ryuji are here in Singapore but we plan to go home to take over the business of our parents. We really appreciated your help, your ideas and your advises. Thank you so much. Jill / Ryuji Sir Norman,

You can maintain your breeders there but larval rearing will have to be tank based. Perhaps, you want to grow milkfish instead in cages. If you want to attend an intensive course on the grow-out of milkfish, I guess the nearest place for you is the main station of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development center or SEAFDEC in Tigbauan, Ilolo. They are the pioneers and experts in milkfish aquaculture. you may go to their website to know how you can access them. 2. You may contact the website of BFAR to know where their existing mariculture parks are. I know there is one in the Samal Island in Davao, somewhere in the San Juanico Straight in Samar, Mauban Quezon, Casiguran Aurora and some other places. You may also put your cages in any open waters in the philippines, provided their respective local government will allow it. H Mr. Carl Martin:
