students comes to visit a Baranggay in Bay,
Laguna led by their Professor DR. Querijero. This

MARINE ZOOLOGY PROF IN UPLB SHARES TIPS AND

SECRETS IN AQUA CULTURE.
Last August 21, 2012 Wednesday, UPLB Aquaculture Professor Doctor
Blesshe L. Querijero invites her four students in Zoology 185 to come
visit a Baranggay in Bay, Laguna. In here the class was able to see
firsthand the techniques used by Kuya Henry Ignacio. Kuya Henry was
the one who catches the Tilapia fingerlings in the morning and makes
sure that the Tilapia Breeders will be able to eat its feeds in the morning
and afternoon.
As you can see in the picture Kuya Henry has this big circular blue
net which he uses to catch the fingerlings. He circles the edges of the
pond as it is where the Tilapia brooders releases their fingerlings. And
while that is happening, Prof. Querijero gives lecture on her students
tackling about the
management of the breeders
to the marketing of the
fingerlings to the way how to
choose a good quality feeds
and how to find joy and
passion to this kind of job.
Through this, the students
learned that their professor
genuinely wants her students
to find joy and interest in
Aqua culture!
