Quarterly Commercial Fisheries Survey

The Quarterly Commercial Fisheries Survey 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 on commercial fisheries are collected in fish landing centers where fishermen unload and trade their catch.There are two (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.
