The Batangas State University Apolinario R. Apacible School of Fisheries (Filipino: Pambansang Pamantasan ng Batangas Apolinario R. Apacible Paaralan ng Pangisdaan), or simply ARASOF, is a state university located in Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines. It is one of the two satellite campuses of Batangas State University, the other being Jose P. Laurel Polytechnic College.[1]
It started as a branch of the Philippine Institute of Fisheries Technology by the virtue of Republic Act No. 685 on 9 May 1952. Five years later, it was renamed as Batangas School of Fisheries. It was renamed again as Apolinario R. Apacible School of Fisheries on 30 August 1975 through the Presidential Decree No. 787. Finally on 25 February 2000, the school was integrated to Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology (present Batangas State University) as its satellite campus.[1][5][6][7]
