Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, averages, weighted mean, and ROI analysis to determine the profitability.

starting 1990. Most of the aquaculture enterprises were single proprietorship and financed through personal savings with some augmentation from barrowings. Before stocking, line nets are installed at water gates and sometimes fishponds were treated with organic pesticides before stocking. Mono- cultured bangus yielded the highest volume of harvest. In terms of net income and return on investment (ROI), polyculture of Bangus- Tilapia- Kapiged was the highest.
