MAPPING AND MANAGING LUZON IN CAPTURE FISHERIES  Luzon island is divided into eight (8) regions ▪ Region I (Ilocos Region), ▪ Region II (Cagayan Valley), ▪ Region III (Central Luzon), ▪ Region IV‑A (CALABARZON), ▪ MIMAROPA Region, ▪ Region V (Bicol Region), ▪ Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), ▪ National Capital Region (NCR)  What is Capture Fishiries? Capture fisheries refer to the practice of catching wild fish and other aquatic organisms from natural water bodies like oceans, rivers, lakes, and estuaries. This can be done through various methods such as fishing nets, traps, or fishing lines. IMPORTANCE IN CAPTURE FISHIRIES IN THE PHILIPPINES FOOD SECURITY ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION LIVELIHOOD CULTURAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE BIODIVERSIT AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES CHALLENGES IN CAPTURE FISHIRIES OVERFISHING CLIMATE CHAGE ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING HABITAT DEGREDATION WEAK ENFORCEMENT OF FISHIRIES REGULATIONS THE FISHIRIES OF REGION 1 Major Fishing Gears, Fishing Grounds, and Major Catches REGION 1 ILOCOS NORTE ILOCOS SUR LAUNION PANGASINAN  major fishing ground Lingayen Gulf West Philippine Sea ( Coastal are of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte) Tayabas bay ( Quezon near the boarder of Region 1)  MAJOR SPECIES CAUGHT IN REGION 1 Milk fish Yellowfin tuna Tilapia Cavalla  MAJOR FISHING METHOD Gillnet - a netting wall hanging in the water column typically made of monofilament or multifilament nylon.

Hook and Line Fishing – This includes simple handline fishing as well as multiple-hook longlining, often used for catching larger fish species like tuna and grouper. It’s widely practiced by small-scale fishermen.  REGION V bicol region ▪ Albay, ▪ Camarines Norte, ▪ Camarines Sur ▪ Catanduanes, ▪ Masbate ▪ Sorsogon MAJOR FISHING GROUND ▪ lagonoy Gulf ▪ Asid Gulf ▪ Burias Pass ▪ Ticao Pass  MAJOR SPECIES CAUGHT Sardines Mackerel Tuna Roundscad MAJOR FISHING METHOD Purse seine - a long wall netting framed with float line and lead line, typically made from steel wire or rope Ring Net – Similar to the purse seine, the ring net is used to capture pelagic fish (fish that live in the open sea, like tuna and sardines) by encircling them with a smaller net and pulling it tight..

This controlled environment allows for efficient fish farming and easy management. Fish Pen Culture – Similar to cage culture but larger and more open, fish pens are often set up in shallow areas of reservoirs and lakes to farm Gillnet species - a netting likehanging wall tilapia and carp. in the w ater column typically made of monofilament or multifilament nylon. National Capital Region (NCR) Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Quezon City, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig, Makati, Manila, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa MAJOR FISHING GROUND ▪ Manila Bay ▪ Laguna de Bay ▪ Pasig River MAJOR SPECIES CAUGHT Mudfish Carp Catfish Tilapia Milkfish  MAJOR FISHING METHOD Gillnet - a netting wall hanging in the w ater column typically made of monofilament or multifilament nylon. Handline Fishing – A simple method using a fishing line and hook. It is often employed for small-scale fishing in Manila Bay and Pasig River, especially for catching fish like bangus (milkfish), tilapia, and other small species. Fish Trapping – This method is used in some areas along Laguna de Bay and smaller rivers, where traps or baskets are set to catch fish like tilapia and catfish. These traps are typically placed in shallow waters or along riverbanks.
