Abstract
The NFRDI - Freshwater Fisheries Research and Development Center (FFRDC) in Taal, Batangas supports the Balik Sigla sa Ilog at Lawa (BASIL) program of BFAR through dispersal of fingerlings for the stock enhancement activities of BFAR regions. BASIL is a project launched by BFAR to restore the freshwater resources of the Philippines especially the seven major lakes and six major river basins in the country. This program aims to bring back the conditions of lakes and rivers to optimize their economic benefits, enhance fisheries towards sustainability to alleviate poverty in rural areas, and repopulate indigenous species in support of biodiversity conservation and food sufficiency.
