Municipal and Commercial Fisheries Presented by: Aries Paul Padron Overview of the Philippine Fisheries What is Fisheries? • Refers to all activities relating to the act or business of fishing, culturing, preserving, processing, marketing, developing, conserving and managing aquatic resources and the fishery area including the privilege to fish or take aquatic resources thereof (RA 8550). • The application of scientific knowledge concerning fish populations to the problems of obtaining optimum production of fishery products, whether stated in tons of factory material or in hours of angling pressure (Everhart et al., 1975). Fishery Resources • 2,200,000 km2 territorial water (including EEZ) • 28 marine mammals • 5 marine turtles • 18,000 km coastline • 19 species of seagrasses • 27,000 sq. km. of coral reef • 1,082 species of seaweeds • 3,212 fish species (731 • 2,645 marine are commercially • important)251 brackishwate r • 46 species of • 500 mangroves hard • 550 corals • 50 soft • 348 • 2,000 reef fishes freshwater • 168 sharks and rays • 648 molluss Sub-Sectors of Philippine Fisheries • Aquaculture operations involving all forms of raising and culturing fish and other fishery species in fresh, brackish and marine water areas. • Municipal marine fisheries - operate within municipal waters (15 km from the coastline) using fishing vessels of three (3) gross tons or less, or fishing not requiring the use fishing vessels. • of Commercial marine fisheries - operate beyond municip the waters using fishing vessels more than three al gross tons. • Small-scale (3.1 GT - 20 GT ) • Medium-scale (20.1 GT – 150 GT) • Large-scale (>150 GT) Global Contribution • The Philippines ranked 8th in terms of fish and aquatic products production globally. fish, total crustaceans, • The production ofmollusks, 4.41 million constituted 2.07% of the etc.,of MT production of 213.65 million MT world’s (FAO, 2021). • The country in terms 11th aquaculturewith 858.28 thousandMT ranked of or 1.01% share of 85.34 million MT • (FAO, The 2021). Philippines is also the world’s largest producer of aquatic 4th primarily with 1.50 plants, seaweeds, million MT or 4.19% of the total world production of 35.82 million MT (FAO, 2021). Global Contribution • The Philippines ranked 11 in terms of marine annual catch with a contribution of 1.89 million tons or 1.89% of the world’s catch. Economic Contribution • Contributes 12.70% to the total GVA at current prices. • Ranked 3rd among the agricultural industry groups following Agricultural crops and Livestock which contributed 48.68% and 13.71% at current prices. • Capture fishing is the top fishery activity, covering 50.03% of all registered fisherfolks.

Is well- marked indentation whose penetration is in such proportion to the width of the mouth as to contain land-locked waters and constitute more than a mere curvature of the coast. An indentation shall not, however, be regarded as bay unless its area is as large as, or larger than, that of the semi-cycle whose diameter is a line drawn across the mouth of that indentation Gulfs Gulf - larger than a bay arm of sea or ocean enclosed by large amounts of land Channels and Passages Channel - a waterway that passes between two land masses, connecting two bodies of water and permitting the passage of boats or larger vessels. Passage - a narrow navigable channel, especially one through reefs or islands and sometimes called a pass. Strai ts Strait - a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water. Major Lakes Lake - an inland body of water, an expanded part of a river, a reservoir formed by a dam, or a lake basin formerly covered by water. Issues Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) • Bays, gulfs, lakes or any other fishery areas which may be delineated for fishery resource management purposes. • Under FAO 263, the Philippine Waters is delineated into 12 FMAs, based on considerations of stocks distribution, structure of fisheries and administrative divisions. Closed Fishing Season o Close fishing season in various areas d annually are implemented as a marine conservation measure to allow fish stocks to replenish and recover, ensuring the abundance of such species in the area.
