Following the successful implementation of closed season on sardines, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Wednesday said it now is studying the implementation of fishing ban for round scad, or commonly known as galunggong.

In a statement, BFAR Director Asis Perez said they are inspired to extend the fishing closed season for galunggong because of success of the Visayan Sea and Zamboanga sardines closed season, which were both implemented last year and was lifted March this year.
