CHAPTER 4: AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION
32 Chapter 4: Aquaculture Production Aquaculture production reached a volume of 2.35 million MT with an equivalent value of PhP 124.00 billion. It accounted for 54.15% of the total volume of fisheries production in 2022. Among the regions, BARMM remained as the top producer in terms of volume with 1.04 million MT or 44.36% share to the total aquaculture production. This can be attributed to the region’s significant volume of seaweed commodities, as it comprised 97.95% of the region’s aquaculture production, and 43.45% of the country’s total aquaculture production. BARMM was followed by Region III with 300,345.65 MT (12.78%), which mostly consisted of tilapia, sharing 48.61% to the region’s aquaculture production. Other regions with notable shares were MIMAROPA with 253,738.52 MT (10.80%), Region IX with 178,773.85 MT (7.61%), and Region I with 162,777.58 MT (6.93%). Region III registered the highest share in terms of value with 32.62%, amounting to PhP 40.45 billion. This can be attributed to the large production of tilapia, which accounted for 28.25% of the region’s aquaculture production value. This was followed by Region I with PhP 20.40 billion (16.45%), majority of which consisted of milkfish commodities with a value amounting to PhP 17.64 billion. BARMM, on the other hand, contributed a total value of PhP 11.57 billion or 9.33% share, which can be mostly associated with the significant value of production from seaweed commodities. Other regions with high aquaculture production value were Region VI with PhP 11.48 billion (9.26%), and Region IV-A with PhP 11.08 billion (8.93%). Table 16.

Chapter 4: Aquaculture Production 33 Figure 19. Volume and Value of Aquaculture Production, 2013-2022 The ten-year trend shows a stable volume of production in aquaculture from 2013 to 2015, which was not sustained in 2016 as production declined by about 147,247.86 MT. The sub-sector started to recover in 2017 towards 2019, as it reached its peak volume of 2.36 million MT, however, the production declined again from 2020 to 2021. In 2022, aquaculture production increased by 102,936.24 MT or 4.58% from the previous year. The value of production followed the same trend as that of volume, as it also decreased towards 2016 but recovered in the following years up to 2019. Despite the decrease in the volume of production in 2021, aquaculture production value was still able to increase by 12.40%, reaching the largest value in the ten-year period with PhP 128.56 billion. However, the value of production decreased again in the following year to PhP 124.00 billion despite the 4.58% increase in the volume of production.

Region XII registered the biggest share with PhP 28.21 billion or 13.93% of the capture fisheries total production value. This can be ascribed to the region’s substantial production of tuna which contributed 79.24% to the region’s total production value. Meanwhile, the PhP 25.04 billion or 12.36% share of Region IX can be attributed to the region’s significant production of sardines, which generated 23.81% share, equating to PhP 5.96 billion. Lastly, Region VI’s PhP 24.40 billion or 12.04% share, mostly came from tuna and squid, constituting 13.90% and 6.34% of the region’s total value of production, respectively. 54 Chapter 5: Capture Fisheries Production
Chapter 5: Capture Fisheries Production 55 Figure 27. Volume and Value of Capture Fisheries Production by Region, 2022 Region IX, along with Region XII and BARMM, emerged as the top performers in terms of volume of production in capture fisheries. Region XII ranked first in terms of production value, despite producing 67,750.86 MT less than Region IX. This can be linked to the substantial harvest of high-value fishes in the region which includes various tuna species. A similar trend is noticeable in Region VI, which ranked third in production value despite being fourth in production volume, surpassing BARMM in terms of production value. This can be attributed to the production of tuna and crab commodities in the region which are both of high value. Chapter 5: Capture Fisheries Production 55

Chapter 5: Capture Fisheries Production 57 Figure 28. Volume and Value of Capture Fisheries Production, 2013-2022 The capture fisheries experienced a downward trend in production volume during the first half of the ten-year period. Production then had a gradual increase in 2019 and 2020, which eventually declined towards 2021 and 2022, resulting in a reduction in production from 2.08 million MT in 2020 to 1.99 million MT in 2022. In spite of consecutive declines from 2021 to 2022, the sub-sector still managed to register a substantial value of PhP 202.56 billion in 2022. Furthermore, a general upward trajectory in production value was observed except in 2020 and 2016, where the sub-sector recorded the lowest value in the last ten years amounting to PhP 137.79 billion.

The overall reduction can be primarily attributed to the decreased in production from several regions, notably Region IV-A, MIMAROPA, Region V, Region VI, and NCR. The biggest decline was observed in Region IV-A where production volume dropped to 93,026.62 MT in 2022 from its 194,960.53 MT production in 2013. Table 26.

Volume of Production of Small Pelagic Species, Demersal Species, and Oceanic Tuna, 2018-2022 Small pelagic species shared 879,779.47 MT (44.23%) to the total capture fisheries production in 2022. Bali sardinella was the leading contributor in terms of production volume over the last five years, with the majority of these species mostly found in Region IX. It was then followed by roundscad, sharing 172,268.17 (19.58%) to the total production of small pelagic species. Big-eyed scad, squid and anchovies were also among the top produced small pelagic species in the country. Demersal species registered a total volume of 200,707.26 MT, or 10.09% of the total capture fisheries production. Among these species, threadfin bream shared the highest with 33,973.38 MT or 16.93% of demersal fish production, the first in the last five years where it was usually dominated by slipmouth. Blue crab, grouper, and siganid were also among the top produced demersal species in 2022. Lastly, among tuna species, skipjack remained to be the top contributor, sharing a substantial volume of 256,837.26 MT (12.91%) to the capture fisheries production or 54.04% of the total tuna production. It was usually followed by frigate tuna, but due to its decline of 10.42% in 2022, it was surpassed by yellowfin tuna by only 740 MT.

MUNICIPAL FISHERIES PRODUCTION
68 Municipal Fisheries Production Figure 30. Municipal Fisheries Volume of Production by Region, 2022 According to the 2022 Fisheries Situation Report released by the PSA, marine municipal fisheries sub-sector is second to aquaculture in terms of growth in production as it recorded 2.65% increase from its previous year’s output. Evidently, the above figure shows that the marine municipal sub-sector constituted the majority of the regions’ municipal production in 2022. BARMM, as the top producing region, was composed of 120,723.92 MT of marine municipal fisheries commodities and 65,440.61 MT of inland municipal fisheries commodities. Among the regions, only Region IV-A had a relatively higher volume ratio on inland-to-marine municipal production, constituting 35,047.27 MT or 52.37% of the region’s total municipal fisheries production.
Municipal Fisheries Production 69 Municipal capture fisheries recorded a total production volume of 1.13 million MT in 2022, as a result of the combined production from marine and inland fisheries sub-sectors. This production output was translated to a value amounting to PhP 127.63 billion. Notably, BARMM emerged as one of the top producers for both marine and inland fisheries sub-sector with a total volume of 186,164.53 MT or 16.53% of the sub-sector’s aggregate production, which translated to a value of PhP 16.39 billion — the highest value of production among the regions. Region IX came second to BARMM in terms of contribution to production as it registered a volume of 124,479.98 MT, majority or 99.04% of which was composed of marine municipal fisheries commodities. On the one hand, Region VI registered the second highest value of production, amounting to PhP 15.31 billion despite not having an outstanding volume of production. Table 32.

70 Municipal Fisheries Production Figure 31. Volume and Value of Municipal Fisheries Production, 2013-2022 For the last ten years, the volume of production shows a declining trend as it dropped from 1.26 million MT in 2013 to 1.11 million MT in 2018. A slight increase in the production was observed in 2019 as the volume posted 1.13 million MT indicating a similar production number as the year 2017. The sub-sector recorded its lowest production volume at 1.10 million MT in 2020, but recovered thereafter, to which production increased from 2021 to 2022. On the other hand, the value of production shows an inconsistent pattern as the value fluctuated from 2013 to 2020, but increased towards 2021 with its highest recorded value at PhP 127.63 billion in 2022.
Municipal Fisheries Production 71
72 Municipal Fisheries Production The ten-year trend underscores the decline in the total production of the municipal sub-sector, as its total registered volume decreased by 0.50% from its previous year’s output. The said decline can be attributed to the collective decrease in production from ten regions, with Region VII recording the largest decline of 42.61%, equivalent to 32,867.51 MT decrement. BARMM still registered the largest contribution with 186,164.53 MT and exhibited a consistent positive growth rate in production. Likewise, NCR and Region XI experienced a significant increase in the volume of production, recording a 175.63% and 146.08% growth respectively. Table 33.

76 Municipal Fisheries Production In the last two years, tuna remained to be the top produced commodity with 12.44% share to the sub-sector’s overall production or equivalent to a volume of 140,103.26 MT, amounting to a value of PhP 18.90 billion. Notably, the tuna production was 5.80% higher than its previous year’s registered volume of 132,423.08 MT. Majority of this production came from BARMM as it contributed 27,412.33 MT or 19.57% share to the sub-sector’s overall production of tuna. Next to tuna is the sardines commodities, which experienced a 15.11% decrease in the volume of production in 2022. According to the National Sardines Management Plan series of 2020, some of the identified issues contributing to the decline in production of sardines are the increasing juvenile catch, post-harvest losses during peak season, illegal fishing, among others. Aside from tuna and sardines, other commodities with significant contribution to the sub-sector’s aggregate volume of production were bigeyed scad (7.04%), tilapia (3.55%), and mackerel (5.34%) with a respective value of PhP 8.98 billion, PhP 4.52 billion and PhP 6.81 billion.
