The primary objectives of our PSTC project were to determine the feasibility of culturing scat in brackishwater ponds, and to develop standardized techniques for its propagation. To achieve these objectives, we conducted experiments designed to 1) establish suitable pond growout strategies for scat, taking advantage, if possible, of the highly developed technology already widely used throughout the Philippines for culturing milkfish, and 2) develop reliable methodologies to induce gonadal maturation and spawning of captive male and female scat.
