Abstract
Commercial fisheries is one of the three (3) sectors of fisheries, the others being Municipal fisheries and Aquaculture. Data on commercial fisheries are collected in fish landing centers where fishermen unload and trade their catch. There are three (3) types of commercial fish landing centers, namely: the traditional, those managed by Philippine Fish Development Authority (PFDA) and Local Government Units (LGUs) and those privately-owned landing centers.
The two types of survey conducted in traditional commercial fish landing centers are the monthly or probability survey, and the quarterly or non-probability survey.
For monthly surveys, Contractual Data Collectors (CDCs) are hired to do the actual interview of fishermen unloading at the sample fish landing centers. In the absence of adequate funds intended for the payment of wages for CDCs, quarterly surveys are conducted by the regular staff in the Provincial Operations Centers (POCs).
The general objective of the survey is to generate information on the quarterly volume and value of fish unloadings by species at the provincial, regional and national levels.
The Quarterly Commercial Fisheries Survey (Traditional Landing Centers) is a survey on volume and price of fish unloaded at sample commercial fish landing centers by fishing boats with gross tonnage of more than three (3) tons. Data are collected through personal interview of at least three (3) 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 official.
Data on 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.
