Abstract
The field practice was conducted at RMaTDeC Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Region 1 at Barangay Lucap, Alaminos City, Pangasinan from June 13, 2016 to July 22, 2016, a total working days of training. The aim of the laboratory is to supply planting materials to fisherfolks in the mass production of seaweeds and also responsible for culture, propagation and conservation of seaweeds. the center also serves as gene bank of seaweeds which helps to rehabilitate destroyed stocks during natural calamities. e.g. typhoon and disease outbreak.
The activities involved in seaweeds laboratory are sterilization of materials sterilization of seawater , preparation for cleaning of seaweeds, weighing of seaweeds, putting of samples in culture dishes with media, coding/labeling, preparation of culture media (AMPEP), filtration of seawater, preparation of desired salinity levels and monitoring water quality parameters (DO and temperature).
The strengths of the farm are good security and location of the different facilities, while the weakness of the farm are power interruption, and limited number of equipment in measuring water quality parameters like DO meter and refractometer.
