A team of researchers from the Institute of Aquaculture, College of Fisheries and Ocean Science, UP Visayas (UPV-CFOS) has developed a seaweed-based dietary supplement that improves the profitability and sustainability of cultured aquatic animals.

The study led by Prof. Rex Ferdinand M. Traifalgar, CFOS-IA director and an expert in nutritional immunology, found that the eubiotic feed supplement developed from seaweed significantly improved the feed conversion efficiency (FCE), growth performance, and gut health of farmed aquatic species such as tilapia, white shrimp, and milkfish.

The University of the Philippines will allow 100% face-to-face classes in all its undergraduate courses in the second semester of the current academic year, AY 2022-2023. This is complementary to the university’s adoption of hybrid and blended learning to equip students for the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and achieve educational resilience in a volatile and rapidly changing world.

The UPLB Environmental Stewardship Committee and UPLB Housing Office of OVCCA collaborated on this effort as part of UPLB’s campaign for proper waste management among university housing beneficiaries, personnel, and nearby communities. 

Almost a ton of e-wastes included computers, television monitors, mobile phones, compact disks, ink cartridges, wired items, household batteries, and other electronic accessories.
