Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Bulan Fish Port Complex (PFDA-BFPC) has celebrated a record-breaking spike after not only doubling but tripling its weekly unloading volume regardless of the recent devastation of Typhoon Bising in the country. 

Based on a special reportorial monitoring report compiled by PFDA - Operations Services Department and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), PFDA-BFPC has registered 1696.98 metric tons (MT) during the April 22-28 period, a 311-percent increase from last week’s 412.59 MT unloading volume. 

Notwithstanding the previous onslaught of the strong typhoon, PFDA-BFPC managed to surpass its January and February unloading volume and is attempting to come closer to its record in March.

Sardines are the fish species with the highest volume equivalent to 1673.1 MT. Also, making it into the top five common species with the highest availability record for the week are tilapia, bangus, dilis, and galunggong. 

In the coming months, PFDA-BFPC is optimistic in maintaining this upward trend and continuously providing its consumers with quality and sufficient fish products.
