Overview
Abstract
The PSA through the FSD under the Economic Sector Statistics Service (ESSS) is responsible for the conduct of periodic surveys related to fisheries. The fisheries sector is composed of three (3) subsectors, namely; commercial fisheries, municipal fisheries and aquaculture. There are four (4) quarterly surveys that generate volume and value of production by species at the national, regional and provincial level. The statistics primarily serve as input to the compilation of performance of agriculture and national accounts. The data sets are also used for policy making and program implementation on fisheries.
Commercial fisheries is one of the fisheries subsectors. It covers fishing operations in marine waters beyond 15 kilometers from the shoreline by fishing boats with more than three (3) gross tons. The QCFS serves as the activity gathers that gathers information on volume and price of species unloaded in the landing center.
Data on commercial fisheries are collected in fish landing centers where fishermen unload and trade their catch.There are four (4) types of fish landing centers, namely: the traditional, private landing centers and those managed by Philippine Fish Development Authority (PFDA) and local government units (LGUs).
For the traditonal landing center, data are collected through personal interview of at least five (5) key informants knowledgeable on the fishing activites at the sample fish landing center. Key informants may be a fisherman, fishing boat operator, fish trader, fish broker, or barangay officials. Monthly volume and price of fish unloaded at the landing centers are gathered on the last week of the last month of the reference quarter. Statistical Researchers (SRs) are hired to conduct the actual interview of fishermen unloading at the sample landing centers.
Administrative data from LGU and privately-managed, and PFDA landing centers are collected by regular staff during the reference quarter.
