84 Marine Municipal Fisheries Production Under the marine municipal fisheries, species such as tuna, sardines, big-eyed scad, mackerel and squid significantly contributed to the total increment of marine municipal fisheries production. Tuna topped the commodity ranking with 140,103.26 MT or 14.73% share to the sub-sector’s total volume of production, equating to a value of PhP 18.90 billion or 14.81% share. This production output was 5.80% higher than its previous year’s production of 132,423.08 MT. It was then followed by sardines, one of the top produced commodities next to tuna, exhibiting 104,234.43 MT, despite a negative 15.11% growth in production. Other commodities with significant contribution to sub-sector’s total production includes, big-eyed scad with 76,693.27 MT (8.07%), mackerel with 49,085.92 MT (5.16%), squid with 48,243.03 MT (5.07%), among others.

Out of the 175,351.56 MT produced in inland municipal fisheries, 52,126.25 (29.73%) were tilapia, 21,643.26 (12.34%) were mudfish, and 21,321.13 (12.61%) were snail. In terms of value, tilapia was still the highest contributor, with a value amounting to PhP 4.53 billion or 30.32% of the total value of inland municipal fisheries commodities. This was followed by mudfish with PhP 2.88 billion, and catfish with PhP 1.26 billion. Table 41.

Commercial Fisheries Production 95 Figure 35. Volume and Value of Commercial Fisheries Production, 2013-2022 The commercial fisheries production exhibited fluctuations in the past ten years in terms of volume and value. Volume of production has a fluctuating trend from 2013 to 2022 period with an average growth rate of negative 1.76%. The recorded volume from 2013 to 2016 consistently exceeded 1.00 million MT in production, which gradually decreased towards 2019. A sudden increase in production was recorded in 2020, which was not sustained in the following years as the production recorded its lowest volume of 0.86 million MT in 2022. Consistent with the sub-sector performance in terms of volume, higher values of production were also observed during the 2013 to 2015 period compared to the succeeding years until 2021. However, value of production had a notable spike in 2022 reaching PhP 74.93 billion.

This can be associated with the favorable locations of the regions which are conducive for commercial fishing. Region XII has been consistently a major contributor to overall production in the sub-sector, posting an average share of 26.29% to the annual commercial fisheries production. In addition, the said region also recorded the largest production volume among regions in 2022, equivalent to 234,026.98 MT. This was followed by Region IX with 225,113.96 MT and BARMM with 92,352.88 MT. Table 43.

Tuna, with the biggest share of 38.86% in terms of volume, is mainly caught from Region XII which houses General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines. Most of the tuna species caught in the country is composed of bigeye tuna, eastern little tuna, frigate tuna, skipjack, and yellowfin tuna. In 2022, an incremental growth in tuna production volume was observed, posting a growth rate of 1.59%, sharing almost half, or 47.27% of the sub-sector’s value of production. Sardines, composed of bali sardinella (tamban), fimbriated sardines (tunsoy), and round herring (tulis), contributed the second largest share of 26.89%. Sardines production mainly comes from Region IX where the country’s sardine capital, Zamboanga City, is located. In 2022, sardines production experienced a contraction leading to a 6.86% decline in production volume. Despite the decrease, sardines production still managed to contribute 10.33% to the commercial sub-sector value of production. Roundscad, with a 15.42% share to the sub-sector production volume, also declined in 2022 posting a negative 3.44% growth rate. Although it ranked third among the top caught species, roundscad contributed the second-largest portion in terms of value, accounting for 16.79% of the sub-sector’s total production value. Other top fish commodities in the commercial sub-sector were big-eyed scad, mackerel, anchovies, squid, slipmouth, caesio, and crevalle.
