Camarines Sur 4th Quarter 2016
Commercial and the Aquaculture subsectors contributed 33.65 percent and 22.33
percent respectively, during the same quarter in 2016.
COMMERCIAL FISHERIES PRODUCTION
Commercial fisheries in Camarines Sur
posted negative growth for the 4th Quarter of
2016 as compared with the same quarter in
2015. Total Commercial fisheries production
declined by 1,145.23 metric tons or 17.08
percent from 6,703.43 metric tons in 2015 to
only 5,558.20 metric tons in 2016
.
Based on the 4th quarter Fisheries Production Survey (FPS) the decrease in the
commercial fish production can attributed to the non-operation of many fishing
vessels due to the stricter implementation of the Republic Act No. 10654 which led to
apprehensions of unregistered fishing vessels, unlicensed crews, and encroachment
in municipal waters.
The major fish catch in the province during the 4th quarter of 2016 was Roundscad
(Galunggong) contributing 36.01 percent or 2,001.27 metric tons to the total
Commercial fish production. Completing the top six fish catch are Fimbriated
Sardines (Tu nsoy) which accounted for 27.8% of the total production, Achioves
(Dilis) 11 percent, Frigate Tuna (Tulingan) 7.75 percent, Indian Mackerel (Alumahan)
COMMERCIAL FISHERIES –

Marine Municipal Fisheries Production in Camarines Sur declined by 3.70 percent
from 6,820.77 metric tons in 4th quarter of 2015 to 6,567.90 metric tons in the same
quarter in 2016. The occurrence of tropical storms, northeast monsoon wind and
rains during the last part of 2016 limited the fishing operations and fishing trips
according to the respondents of the survey.
Among the marine fish species produced under the Marine Municipal Fisheries,
Anchovies (Dilis) accounted for 24.16 percent (1,586.96 metric tons). The other
dominant catch includes Indian Mackerel at 11.02 percent (724.04 metric tons),
Fimbriated Sardines at 8.62 percent (566.24 metric tons), Siganid at 7.63 percent
(500.92 metric tons), and Frigate Tuna at 5.66 percent (371.61 metric tons).
From a total production of 771.13 metric tons in the 4th quarter in 2015, Inland
Municipal Fisheries production dropped 8.82 percent to 703.09 metric tons in the
same period in 2016. Based on the survey the decline in production was due to the
noted shift of some fishermen to non-farming and farming activities, less fishing
effort, and reduced number of fishing days.
