‎Milkfish production has faced stagnation over the past decade, with low survival in nursery systems and the occurrence of Vibriosis disease caused by 𝙑𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙮𝙞 being some of the challenges.
‎
‎This master’s thesis explores the use of yeast with anti-𝙑𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙤 activity to improve milkfish growth and disease resistance during nursery culture.

Blood cockles are filter feeders, they take in whatever the water around them carries, including bacteria that no longer respond to antibiotics. What does that mean for a shellfish that lands on Capiznon tables every day?

Join us as Ma. Clarissa Ines-Tamon presents "Antimicrobial Resistance and Whole Genome Sequencing of Bacterial Isolates Recovered from Blood Cockles (𝘛𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢) from Roxas City, Capiz," under the guidance of Dr. Sharon N. Nuñal.

🗓 August 24, 2026 (Monday) | 10:00 AM
📍 Umali Hall, FC Conference Room

Can a saline-tolerant female SpiN breeder maintains its reproductive performance at higher salinities?

FABLE Hub invites you to the Thesis Public Seminar of one of our FABLE Hubbers —Mr. Junelou B. Hinautan where you'll discover the reproductive potential of saline-tolerant tilapia female breeders under freshwater and brackish water conditions.

This study investigates the reproductive capability of UPV SpiN® tilapia hybrid female breeders under freshwater and brackish water conditions. Through assessments of fecundity, egg quality, ovarian development, and fry production, the study provides insights for climate-resilient aquaculture, hatchery innovation, and ecological safety.

🗓️ When: June 9 (Tuesday) | 2:00 PM
📍 Where: FC Conference, Umali Hall, CFOS-UPV

We look forward to your attendance and participation in this academic discussion.

From egg to life—ever wondered how the transformation unfolds? 🐟

FABLE Hub invites you to the Thesis Public Seminar of one of our FABLE Hubbers —Mr. Dennis A. P**n, where you'll discover the fascinating journey of fish development from its earliest stages of life.

This study explores how an artificial incubation system can support the development of UPV SpiN tilapia hybrid eggs under varying salinity conditions, contributing to the sustainable fry production and addressing the limited supply of freshwater sources.

🗓️ When: June 9 (Tuesday) | 1:00 PM
📍 Where: FC Conference, Umali Hall, CFOS-UPV

Your presence and insights during the open forum will be highly appreciated.

“When we understand the fishery, we are able to support the fishers.”

📢 Dissertation Public Presentation

The UPV Fisheries and Otolith Research and Analytics Laboratory invites everyone to the dissertation public presentation of Mr. El Andro Aguada Obar, PhD in Fisheries candidate, on his dissertation entitled:

“Studies on the Troll Line Fisheries in Antique Province, Philippines”

This dissertation presents an integrated assessment of small-scale troll line fisheries in Antique Province, highlighting fisher livelihoods, fishing operations, lure innovations, catch efficiency, economic performance, and governance gaps in support of more sustainable and science-informed fisheries management.

📅 Date: June 9, 2026 | Tuesday
📍 Venue: IA Conference Room, Umali Hall, CFOS, UP Visayas

Your presence and support will be highly appreciated as we celebrate research that advances fisheries science and champions the role of small-scale fishers in sustainable ocean stewardship.
