The continued richness of the ocean in Antique, especially in the town of Bugasong, is both satisfying and impressive. Recently, a large number of tuna fish were caught using purse seine fishing, an event that surprised and delighted the fishermen. They managed to catch a staggering 1.33 tons of tuna, a significant success that underscores the bountiful sea resources of Antique.
It’s worth noting that several months ago, we had the opportunity to feature an incredible catch in Antique. It was proudly announced that they caught over a ton of fish through traditional fishing methods. Now, in a similar fashion, the fishermen of Antique have once again achieved a successful catch of large tuna.
Antique is an island surrounded by the sea, and it shares its coastline with the neighboring province of Capiz, known as the seafood capital of the Philippines. The pristine waters around Antique and Capiz are home to various fish species, sustaining the livelihood and income of the local fishermen in the region.
The 1.33 tons of tuna fish caught is not just a victory in fishing but also a boost to Antique’s economy. It provides a primary source of income for the fishermen and their families. Each catch not only provides substantial earnings but also supplies fresh fish to the local community and beyond to different parts of the country.
Antique is not only rich in natural resources but also in culture and tradition. Fishing is not just a simple activity; it’s an integral part of the lives and identity of the people of Antique.
With each catch, Antique highlights the importance of unity and determination in fishing. Each tuna caught reflects the fishermen’s efforts to provide a better future for their families. It serves as an inspiration to all those who make a living from the sea and is proof that Antique is truly abundant in marine resources. Source
