The College of Fisheries and Allied Sciences (CFAS) proudly announces that our entry, CRABFortune (KASAGana), has been awarded a 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 by the Tokyo Global Innovation Challenge (TGIC) — an international competition supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Japan Finance Corporation, Deloitte Tohmatsu and a consortium of universities across Japan. This year’s edition has been extremely competitive with 200 participating teams from 40 countries.

The CRABFortune (KASAGana) team is composed of: Regie Pancho (Bachelor of Science in Fisheries), Cobbie Tangente (BSIT – Drafting Technology), and Pamela Burias (Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management ). The team was guided by their dedicated mentors, Mr. Ryan B. Catulin (CFAS Alumni Batch 2025) and Mr. Marco Mahilum (CFAS Alumni Batch 2025). Dr. Cheryl B. Jela, Chairperson and Dr. Leovigildo Rey S. Alaban, Dean also guided the team.

Fresh from winning Grand Winner of the AVAMOS Blue Nation Innovation Challenge – Storytelling, our team pushed forward and submitted an online pitch video to the Tokyo Global Innovation Challenge on November 15, 2025, at the Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB), Japan. Although the team did not advance to the final round, TGIC commended CRABFortune for its excellent structure, high-quality presentation, creativity, and passion—qualities that made the project stand out among global entries. TGIC also expressed their intention to feature our team’s work on the official TGIC website.

This recognition marks a remarkable milestone for CFAS and the University as we actively pursue our vision of internationalization and elevate the culture of research, innovation, and global competitiveness among Fisheries Students.

The team would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the key officials of the Northern Iloilo State University for continuously supporting the college’s mission and vision, as well as continuing to champion the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries program.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to TGIC for this honor, and to our dedicated advisers for their unwavering guidance and support.

With pride and gratitude, CFAS celebrates this achievement.

Padayon, 𝗖𝗙𝗔𝗦!

Fisheries students of Northern Iloilo State University- College of Fisheries and Allied Sciences, proudly presented their research at the 8th International Conference on Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (ICFAS 2025) held on November 17–19, 2025 at Grand Xing Hotel Iloilo City.
This year’s conference, themed “Fisheries at the Forefront: Ensuring Food Safety, Security, and Sustainability,” gathered leading scientists, researchers, industry experts, and policymakers committed to advancing the future of fisheries and aquatic sciences.

The study of Mr. Berano provides updated data about the biology and fisheries of S. gibbosa. These data offers useful information that can support more reliable stock assessment and sustainable management policies in the Visayan Sea.

Presentor: Noilyn Baat
Co authors: Kaye Marie Bataga, Shaira Marie Montero, Cheryl Jela, Leovigildo Rey Alaban
The study of Noilyn Baat reports for the first time the occurrence of an additional species of Gafrarium,a commercially important bivalves. It contributes to molluscan diversity and can support community-level resource management and help maintain sustainable harvesting practices.
Their participation reflects NISU CFAS’s strong commitment to advancing research that supports sustainable fisheries management and strengthens the scientific foundation for coastal resource conservation.
We commend our student-researchers for their dedication and for contributing meaningful insights to the aquatic sciences community. Their work demonstrates how student-led studies can inform broader national efforts toward food security, responsible fishing practices, and long-term stewardship of aquatic resources.
Congratulations to our student-researchers for representing NISU with excellence and dedication.
