    Study Notes

    Global Aquaculture Production Overview

    • In 2020, global aquaculture production reached a record 122.6 million tonnes (live weight).
    • This includes 87.5 million tonnes of aquatic animals.
    • The economic value of aquaculture reached USD 281.5 billion, representing an increase of USD 18.5 billion since 2018.
    • Global aquaculture production experienced a 2.7% growth rate, the lowest in over 40 years.
    • Key producers in 2020 were Chile, China, and Norway.

    Breakdown of Key Aquaculture Production Components

    • Finfish farming accounts for 66% of global aquaculture production.
    • Finfish farming includes inland and coastal aquaculture.
    • Molluscs, primarily bivalves, represent another significant component.
    • Crustaceans, including crab, shrimp, and lobster, are another important sector.
    • Africa experienced mixed results, with declines in some areas and growth in others.

    Algae Cultivation

    • In 2020, algae cultivation increased by 1.4% to 35.1 million tonnes.
    • China and Japan experienced growth, while Southeast Asia and the Republic of Korea saw declines.

    Aquaculture's Contribution to Total Fisheries and Aquaculture Production

    • Lower-Middle-Income Countries' reliance on aquaculture increased from 14.7% to 46.2% between 1990 and 2020.
    • High-Income Countries doubled aquaculture production, but their share in total fisheries output is only 23% due to declining capture fisheries.
    • Low-Income Countries saw only a slight increase in aquaculture's share, rising from 3.7% in 1990 to 8% in 2020.

    Inland Aquaculture

    • Inland aquaculture production in 2020 totaled 54.4 million tonnes, representing 44.4% of global aquaculture production.
    • Inland aquaculture comprises 62.2% of total aquaculture production.
    • Finfish dominate inland aquaculture worldwide.
    • Common methods for inland aquaculture include earthen ponds, cage and pen culture.

    Philippine Fisheries Overview

    • The Philippines has a vast territorial water area of 2.2 million square kilometers, including the EEZ.
    • The fisheries sector contributes 1.2% to the country's GDP.
    • The Philippines ranks 8th globally in fisheries production volume.
    • Total production in 2018 reached 4.356 million metric tons (MT), valued at over Php 265 billion.
    • The fisheries sector provides employment for 1.6 million people.
    • Fisheries contribute over 50% of animal protein consumption in the Philippines.
    • Municipal and aquaculture sectors experienced a slight increase in production volume in 2019, followed by a dip in 2020, but remained above 2018 levels.
    • Commercial fisheries production saw consistent, albeit slight, growth between 2018 and 2020.
    • Despite higher production, the value of commercial fisheries production decreased in 2020 due to lower prices.

    Philippine Fisheries Foreign Trade Performance

    • The Philippines experienced a net surplus in fisheries trade in 2018.
    • Export value in 2020 fell to USD 606 million.
    • The Republic Act 8550 (Fisheries Code) governs the fishing industry in the Philippines.

    Philippine Fishing Industry: Sector Classification

    • The Philippine fishing industry is categorized into three sectors: commercial fishers, municipal fishers, and aquaculture.
    • Commercial fishers utilize passive or active gear beyond subsistence or sport purposes.
    • Municipal fishers operate within municipal waters using vessels smaller than 3 gross tons (GT) or without vessels.
    • Aquaculture includes both inland and coastal operations.

    Aquaculture Commodity Performance under CNFIDP 2016-2020

    • The national fisheries industry development plan (CNFIDP) set targets for various aquaculture commodities.
    • Tiger prawn production saw a decline, significantly affecting overall shrimp performance.
    • Pacific white shrimp production increased but was insufficient to offset the decline in tiger prawn production.

    CNFIDP Aquaculture Commodity Performance by Category:

    • Milkfish: Targets were met in 2016-2017 but fell short afterwards.
    • Tilapia: Production consistently fell below target.
    • Shrimp: Faced unmet targets due to a decline in tiger prawn production hindering overall growth.
    • Seaweeds: Targets consistently unmet since 2016.
    • Mussels: Met demand until 2018 but declined in 2019-2020, failing to meet targets.
    • Oysters: Production consistently below target until 2020, when a dramatic increase surpassed the set target.
    • Mudcrab: Consistently surpassed targets from 2016 to 2018. Production plateaued after 2018, remaining above target.

    Aquaculture in the CNFIDP (Comprehensive National Fisheries Industry Development Plan): Production Performance and Proposed Targets

    • Most aquaculture commodities failed to meet the targeted growth in 2016-2020, except for shellfish and mudcrab.
    • The 2021-2025 CNFIDP has adjusted targets based on performance, commodity maps, and current conditions.
    • Targets for tilapia, shrimp, and seaweed have been reduced due to prior underperformance.
    • The milkfish target has been increased by 2%.
    • The shellfish target has been increased by 2.5 times.
    • The mudcrab target has been increased by 5 times.
