PHL-PSA-QIFS-2020-v1
The Quarterly Inland Fisheries Survey (QIFS) is a survey on volume and price of fish, by species caught by households engaged in inland fishing. The general objective of QIFS is to generate information on quarterly volume and value of fish catch by species at the provincial, regional and national levels.
Inland municipal fishing include the catching of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and all other aquatic animals and plants in inland waters like lakes, rivers, dams, marshes, swamps, irrigation canals, creeks, etc. using simple gears and fishing boats. Some of which are non-motorized with a capacity of three (3) gross tons or less, or fishing not requiring the use of fishing boats.
Data on monthly volume and value of catch by species by households for the quarter are gathered during the survey using QIFS Form 1. The survey is implemented by the staff of the Provincial Statistical Office (PSOs) of the PSA. Respondents are any member of the household who are involved in inland fishing, may either be full-time or part-time fishermen.
Despite the meager contribution of inland fisheries to the total fisheries output, fisheries statistics would not be complete without the estimates from this sub-sector. The number of households dependent on fish catch from inland bodies of water could not be ignored. Some of the fish catch of inland fishing households is usually intended for home consumption.

Sampling
As part of improvement in the generation fisheries statistics, the FSD-ESSS adopted the new survey designs for its fisheries surveys. The redesigned QIFS implements a new sampling design using the 2012 Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (CAF) as the sampling frame which replaced the old Listing of Inland Fishing Households. This frame was used to draw sample inland fishing households for the survey.
The redesigned QIFS uses a two-stage sampling design with barangay serving as the primary sampling unit (PSU) and inland fishing household as the secondary sampling unit (SSU).
Sample barangays (PSUs) are selected using probability proportional to size (PPS) with sampling rate of 10 percent. The number of inland fishing households is used as the size measure. While sample inland fishing households (SSUs) are selected using simple random sampling (SRS) for each sample barangay. The inland fishing household size is 10 per barangay. For a sample barangay which has less than 10 inland fishing households, all households are taken as samples.
For 2020, a total of 1,365 households were sampled out of 82,755 inland fishing households listed nationwide.

Response rate for quarterly survey of inland fisheries is 100%.
A factor derived from the number of total households over the sample households is used to estimate monthly production of inland fisheries in the province . This factor varies from one province to another.

Face-to-face [f2f]
The Regional Director (RD) is responsible for the regional level monitoring and supervision of the survey operations of the Provincial Statistical Offices (PSOs).
The Provincial Statistics Officer (PSO) is the over-all supervisor in the province. As field supervisor, the PSO should ensure accuracy of data collection, completeness of the accomplished survey forms. As part of the PSO's tasks is the conduct of spot-checking and back-checking on the work of SRs who act as data collectors for this activity.

QIFS Form 1 is a one-page English language questionnaire used in gathering information on the monthly quantity and price per kilogram by species of fish catch of the sample households during the reference quarter.
One questionnaire per sample household is used in the conduct of the interview. Names of household head and respondent, as well as the relationship of the respondent to the household head are included in the survey form. The same questionnaire is used every quarter. The same data structure is required in every quarter.
The survey form was provided as a technical document.

Data Processing
Manual editing of questionnaires at the provincial level is needed before the electronic data processing of survey returns.
Steps in data editing include the following:
a) Completeness of data items in the questionnaire
b) Correctness of unit of measurement used
c) Coding and encoding
d) Expansion factor used
Before the results are summarized, another series of consistency and completeness check is made during electronic data processing.

Data Appraisal
The accomplished QIFS forms serve as inputs for internal checks of the survey data. Units of measurement used for volume and price are reviewed. Levels of estimates are compared with those of the same quarter last year. Change in production is assessed if it reflects the real inland fisheries situation in the province. Some parameters used in the validation of inland fisheries are the number of households, productivity of sources of catch, fingerlings dispersal program of the BFAR.
To ensure the quality of data, the generated outputs had to undergo data review and validation. Data review involves internal checks of the data collected, consistency and completeness check of data items and detection and correction of identified errors. Data validation, on the other hand, ensures that the estimates generated are truly reflective of the current fisheries situation. It involves thorough analysis of the generated estimates with auxiliary information.
Data review was undertaken in three (3) levels: provincial, regional and national levels which are identified as Provincial Data Review (PDR), Regional Data Review (RDR) and National Data Review (NDR), respectively.
