The training combined lectures with intensive hands-on laboratory exercises covering fish necropsy, bacterial isolation and purification, biochemical testing, DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE), and the interpretation of molecular diagnostic results for the detection of 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 spp., one of the major bacterial pathogens affecting tilapia production. By equipping participants with practical skills in disease detection and diagnosis, the program supports the adoption of science-based technologies that contribute to healthier aquaculture systems and improved fish production. Through their participation, Ms. Taka and Mr. Delloro, Jr. further strengthen the college's commitment to advancing fisheries biotechnology, research, extension, and innovation in support of a sustainable and resilient aquaculture industry.

🌊 💬𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 𝐌𝐒𝐔𝐍 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 ♻🐟

As part of its extension program, the MSUN College of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, through its Clean Ocean Extension Project, sat down with local vendors from Brgy. Linangkayan, Poblacion, and Maputi in Naawan for a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on reducing single-use plastics, moderated by Assoc. Prof. Mariefe Quiñones under the project "Clean Ocean Action: Strengthening Vendor Engagement for Sustainable Packaging Practices."

Joined by the Barangay Kagawad on Environment, meat, fish, and vegetable sellers, carenderia owners, sari-sari store and mini-grocery operators, and hardware store owners opened up about their daily habits and worked together to find real, doable ways to cut back on plastic waste.

Together, they worked to bridge the gap between everyday habits and sustainable practices, finding real, actionable ways to cut down on single-use plastics, a step that reflects the College's and MSUN's continuing commitment to community-driven environmental change through its extension programs. 💙
