Title
Quarterly Inland Fisheries Survey 2020

Study Type
Agricultural Survey
Series Information
Early publications of Fisheries Statistics of the Philippines integrated the estimates of inland fisheries in the total municipal fish production. This is because, according to the Fisheries Law, the Municipal Fisheries include the fisheries in inland waters as well as those fisheries in marine waters, as long as fishing is operated with a fishing boat of not more than three (3) tons gross or no boat.

When the mandate of collecting fisheries data was transferred from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to the former Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) in 1987, annual estimates of fish catch from inland fishing households were based on time-series data published by BFAR.

In1997, the listing of all households engaged in inland fishing was conducted for the first time by BAS. It also implemented the regular conduct of quarterly survey of inland fisheries in the succeeding years using the sampling frame developed in 1997. Data on volume and value of fish catch from inland fisheries were generated from quarterly surveys of households engaged in inland fishing.

At present, the time series data on quarterly volume and value of inland fisheries by province are now being maintained by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) through the Fisheries Statistics Division (FSD) under the Economic Sector Statistics Service (ESSS).

Overview
Abstract
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.
