Abstract
RATIONALE
In carrying out its responsibility of generating statistics on volume and value of aquaculture production, the Fisheries Statistics Division (FSD) of the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) conducts probability and non-probability surveys. The Quarterly Aquaculture Surveys (QAqS) is the non-probability survey conducted on a regular basis. The survey design involves computing for the average percent change from the same quarter last year reported by the sample respondents and then applying the same to the provincial level same quarter last year estimate in order to derive the estimate for the current quarter. The samples are taken from 5 X 5 sampling design, i.e., five (5) sample operators from top five (5) producing municipalities. On the other hand, Aquaculture Production Survey (AqPS) generates the production estimates based on one-stage stratified sampling design. Unfortunately, this probability survey is not financially sustainable on a quarterly basis. It should be noted that estimates from the probability survey are intended as baseline data for computing the percent changes derived from non-probability survey. Although quarterly estimates are subjected to a series of data review and analysis before final estimates are released, it is imperative to determine the levels of production estimates through a periodic probability survey.
OBJECTIVES
Primarily, the Aquaculture Production Survey (AqPS) aims to generate statistics on volume and value of aquaculture production by province.
Specifically, it aims to gather information on:
a. Volume and value of production by species cultured, by aquafarm type and by environment,
b. area harvested; and
c. management and culture system of the aquafarm.
Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Units of Analysis
Aquafarm is the unit of analysis.
Scope
Notes
The survey form gathers information on the following:
AQUAFARM INFORMATION: Aquafarm area, aquafarm type, environment, management system and culture system
PRODUCTION INFORMATION: Species, quantity stocked, area harvested, production and price.
Coverage
Geographic Coverage
In 2009, AqPS was conducted in 40 provinces contributing to at least 90% of the total production of each aquafarm type.
Geographic Unit
The domain of the study is province.
Universe
The survey covered all aquafarm types.
