Abstract
The Monthly Municipal Fisheries Survey is a statistical inquiry on municipal fishing that is conducted on an every-other-day frequency. Contractual Data Collectors (CDCs) are hired to conduct the survey of fishing boats unloading at the sample fish landing center. Data are gathered through actual interviews of respondents during peak unloading time using a structured questionnaire prepared at the Central Office of the BAS. The target respondents are the fisherman, fishing boat operators, and any knowledgeable crew of the fishing boat.The general objective of the activity is to generate information on the monthly volume of fish catch by fishing ground, by fishing gear and by species at the provincial, regional and national levels. Collection of municipal fisheries data is a probability survey done in places called fish landing centers where fishing boats of three (3) gross tons and less unload and trade their catch. There are two (2) types of municipal fish landing centers, the traditional and those managed by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) and local government units (LGUs).
Monthly municipal fisheries survey differs from quarterly survey in terms of number of variables gathered during the survey. Major objective of both surveys is to generate volume and value of fish catch by species by province.
