30 Philippine Fisheries Profile 2021 OVERVIEW • Ten-year trend showed a decreasing trend in terms of production volume, with an average annual growth rate of -1.43%. • In 2021, aquaculture shared 52.88% of the total fisheries production volume, and 42.50% of the total fisheries production value. • For the last 10 years, BARMM was the top producing region in terms of volume while Region III was the top contributor in terms of value. • Seaweed was the top producing species among aquaculture species in 2021, contributing 31.63% share to the total fisheries production. • Out of the 2.25 million MT production of aquaculture in 2021, 2.20 million MT came from the production of the five (5) Priority commodities. Moreso, 62.69% of the total production was produced in A Mariculture Parks. QUA C U LTURE FISHERIES

Philippine Fisheries Profile 2021 31 AQUA C U LTURE FISHERIES A. 2012-2021 Aquaculture Volume and Value of Production The ten-year trend showed a continuous decline in the volume of production in aquaculture with slight recovery in 2018 and 2019. In 2021, a 3.30% decline in volume of production was observed compared to its level in 2020. On the other hand, at current prices, the value of production was generally increasing, wherein the 2021 value of fisheries produced was 12.40% higher than the 2020 record.

Philippine Fisheries Profile 2021 63 MUNICIPAL CAPTURE FISHERIES As presented in the graph, the municipal fisheries sub-sector experienced consistent decline in the volume of production from 2012 to 2018. There was a slight recovery during 2019 as the production volume registered 1.13 million MT. In 2021, the sub-sector’s volume of production recorded 1.13 million MT.

Contributing to this figure was the production from BARMM, with 165.20% increase in production compared to its production in 2020. The increase in production of other regions also contributed to the increase of total inland municipal production like Region III and MIMAROPA with 130.96% and 66.67% increase in production, respectively. On the other hand, Region IV-A, one of the major contributors to inland production, recorded a 46,142.06 MT, 23.43% lower than its production in 2020. Table 57.

The recorded value was 92.20% higher than the recorded average value of production in this sector for the last several years. The increase in value of production from this sector can be explained by the increase of value of production in BARMM, with 268.12% increase from its usual value of production for the past years. Value of production from Region III also contributed to the total value of production from this sector, with 21.40% share to the total value of production. Table 58.

Philippine Fisheries Profile 2021 79 Source: PSA retrieved as of 21 April 2022 During the reference year, BARMM dominated the inland municipal fisheries production, generating 68,896 MT volume of production, with a value of PhP 7.57 million at current prices. In terms of volume of production, this was followed by Region IV-A and III, having 22.5% and 16.2% share of the total municipal production, respectively. In terms of value, even though Region IV-A generated a high volume next to BARMM, it is only valued at PhP 1.1 million, much lower to the value generated by Regions III and XII, with PhP 3.7 million and PhP 1.2 million, respectively.
