Six trainees complete pond/cage culture course

pond&cage culture trainees “I am really happy,” says Mr. Pelson Moses of the Federated States of Micronesia upon completing the March 8-25 training course on Cage/pond culture of selected aquaculture species at AQD. He was happy because of the knowledge imparted by the AQD mentors and the skills gained by him and his five co-trainees from China, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Philippines.

The course included extensive lectures and practical sessions on biology and ecology of marine fish and crustaceans, feed processing, health management, value-addition business planning, pond preparation, cage design and construction.

On the other hand, Mr. Nasruddin Ali Alameen, the trainee from Saudi Arabia, noted that in his company, 75% of the hundreds of employees are Filipinos, of which 90% passed through or were trained by AQD. He said he intends to send more people from his company to be trained by AQD.
