Bachelor of Science in Fishery Education in 1978 in PSU B inmaley, took his M a s t e r o f B u s i n e s s Admin i s t rat ion degree major in Management in Araullo Lyceum University in Cabanatuan City, Master of Agriculture degree major in Fisheries Science in 1982 in Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences in Texas A & M University, Doctorate d e g r e e i n R u r a l Development major in O r g a n i z a t i o n & Management, and Doctor of Fisheries Technology d e g r e e m a j o r i n Aquaculture in 2005 at the I lo i lo State Col lege of Fisheries. A c c o r d i n g t o Rosario, it was his father who introduced and inspired him to the world of sheries when his father was then the Regional Director of BFAR Region 1. Presently, Rosario is the Center Chief of the Bureau of Fisheries and A q u a t i c R e s o u r c e s - N a t i o n a l I n t e g r a t e d F i s h e r i e s T e c h n o l o g y Development Center (BFAR-NIFTDC) in Dagupan City, which is the most equipped

a n d o n e o f t h e m e n t Program (PBDP). The Philippines has been importing close to a bil l ion bangus fry from Taiwan and Indonesia, to sustain bangus farming. In a c c o r d a n c e t o t h e program, he initiated the establishment of the rst central bangus hatchery in the Center in 1999 for BFAR, with a capacity to produce 200M eggs and 50M fry per y e a r . H e w a s a b l e t o supplement the Center's meager budget from BFAR to build a PhP 35 million bangus facility and operate the hatchery by successfully getting nancial support from the Department of Science and Technology and from former Speaker Jose C. De Venecia, Jr. To e x p a n d t h e P B D P , h e c o n d u c t e d n a t i o n a l t r a i n i n g s o n b a n g u s hatchery beginning 2003 c a t e r i n g t o b o t h government and private sectors. In the same year, he established 16 complete m u n i c i p a l s a t e l l i t e hatcheries from Regions 1 to 9. The hatcheries are owned by BFAR, LGUs and the private sector. The eggs

produced by the Center were distributed to most of the munic ipal satel l i te bangus hatcheries, while those with enough budget were closely assisted in the eng ineer ing des ign of hatchery , t ranspor t o f b r e e d e r s a n d i n t h e hatchery activit ies. This p r o j e c t o f R o s a r i o o n bangus paved the way to t h e d e v e l o p m e n t o f simplied procedures in producing bangus fry in the Philippines. T h e i n t e r e s t o f Rosario in aquaculture has led to the development of breeding technique to propagate dojo or weather loach, a high value eel-like sh that thrives in the cold mountain r ivers of the Cordilleras which has been vanishing in the Philippines. Presently, dojo fry are being distributed by BFAR-NIFTDC to the local government of Sagada. T h i s s h w h i c h w a s introduced in the Philippines during World War II is a high value sh in Korea and Japan. Some of the sh h a t c h e r i e s t h a t w e r e developed in BFAR-NIFTDC include seabass, freshwater

prawn, catsh, molobicus saline tilapia, seacucumber and aquarium shes. In the last 15 years, Rosario was able to expand the operation of NIFTDC from the original three hectares to 35 hectares.

He devotes much of h i s t i m e v i s i t i n g a n d
