PFDA-NFPC continues unhampered delivery of service. Despite suffering a blow from the severe weather conditions brought by Typhoon Bising, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Navotas Fish Port Complex continues to provide its stakeholders with adequate fish supply.

Despite suffering a blow from the severe weather conditions brought by Typhoon Bising, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Navotas Fish Port Complex continues to provide its stakeholders with adequate fish supply.

Based on a special monitoring report developed through a joint effort between PFDA - Operations Services Department (OSD) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), PFDA-NFPC delivered 3,088.10 metric tons (MT) of fish supply to all its consumers during the April 22-28 period, a slight drop from last week’s 3.5K unloading volume. 

The record shows that galunggong (fresh) maintains its position as the number one fish species with the highest availability of supply at 1,370.88 MT, followed by milkfish (627.72 MT), sardines (341.08 MT), tilapia (214.60 MT), and dalagang-bukid (131.96 MT).

This quarter, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is expecting two to three tropical storms to enter the Philippine territory. With this, PFDA-NFPC is working its way to a stronger and more improved fish port that will deliver sufficient fish supply to all its clients and stakeholders in the succeeding weeks.
