HIGHLIGHTS

Fisheries production decreased by 2.14 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Compared with the level in the same period in 2010, production in commercial fisheries was 13.61 percent lower. In municipal fisheries, production went down by 2.14 percent. On the other hand, aquaculture production expanded by 5.36 percent.

Commercial fisheries production at 319,715.99 metric tons during the second quarter of 2011 was

13.61 percent or 50,355.12 metric tons lower than last year’s record. Eleven (11) regions had production cuts while five (5) regions recorded production gains. The biggest drop in production was largely attributed to reduced unloadings of Indian sardines, especially, at the private landing centers in Zamboanga City where a big decrease of 42,612.36 metric tons was noted this quarter. The production cuts were, likewise, explained by lesser number of fishing days and trips due to rough seas and strong winds brought about by successive typhoons during the months of May and June. The decrease in production was also a result of the existing high seas closure imposed by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). Heavy unloading of commercial fish catch at 80,968.78 metric tons was observed in Zamboanga Peninsula, but, it was also here where the biggest decrease in output at 43,956.94 metric tons was reported. This was manifested by the stoppage of operations of some landing centers in the region. The bulk of commercial fish catch went to the traditional landing centers which recorded unloadings of 151,001.98 metric tons. Commercial fisheries accounted for about 24.95 percent of the total fisheries production in the second quarter of 2011 (Table 1).

Municipal fishermen unloaded 364,882.03 metric tons of fish catch this quarter or 7,977.81 metric tons

lower than last year’s level. Marine municipal fisheries shared 324,286.71 metric tons or 88.87 percent of the total output of the sector. On the other hand, inland municipal fisheries contributed 40,595.32 metric tons or 11.13 percent of the total output of the sector. Marine municipal fisheries production went down by 3.21 percent this quarter while inland municipal fisheries production increased by 7.30 percent. The decline in production of marine municipal fishermen was largely attributed to lesser fishing operations and fishing days due to rough seas brought about by the occurrence of typhoons that enhanced southwest monsoon. The increased prices of gasoline and other fishing materials were also mentioned. On the other hand, high water level paved the way to more fishing days which increased fish catch of sustenance fishermen. Regular seeding dispersals on bodies of water like rivers, lakes and Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP) as well as the existence of fish shelters and sanctuaries also boosted production from inland waters. Ten (10) regions recorded production cuts while seven (7) regions surpassed their last year’s production performance. Municipal fisheries contributed about 28.47 percent to the total fisheries production.

Aquaculture production increased by 5.36 percent or 30,343.49 metric tons this quarter compared to

the output of the same quarter last year. The production gain was largely attributed to the increased production of seaweed by 7.54 percent or 27,697.27 metric tons this quarter. Seaweed production in Zamboanga Sibugay went up by 61.61 percent or 11,831.08 metric tons this quarter. The usage and availability of quality planting materials encouraged seaweed farmers to expand their area planted. Less incidence of pests and diseases, likewise, prevailed in the province during the quarter. A bigger area harvested in San Vicente, Palawan and newly harvested area in Maribojoc, Bohol were reported. In Sulu, increased production was traced to the continuous implementation of proper care and management practices with the assistance from BFAR and LGU. About 66.16 percent of the total aquaculture production were seaweed and 33.84 percent were fins and shellfishes. Aquaculture accounted for 46.58 percent of the total fisheries production.

COMMERCIAL FISHERIES

Commercial fishing produced a total of 319,715.99 metric tons of fish during the second quarter of 2011. This was 13.61 percent or 50,355.12 metric tons lower than last year’s record of 370,071.11 metric tons. Zamboanga Peninsula accounted for the bulk of commercial fish unloaded during the reference period. The total volume unloaded was 80,968.78 metric tons of which 83.02 percent or 67,221.75 metric tons were recorded in Zamboanga City landing centers. It was further observed that 87.84 percent or 59,046.74 metric tons of fish catch in Zamboanga City were unloaded at private landing centers. Zamboanga Peninsula posted the biggest decrease in fish catch at 43,956.94 metric tons. The major factor behind the cutback was the reduced unloadings of Indian sardines, especially, at private landing centers in Zamboanga City where unloadings dipped by 42,612.36 metric tons from last year’s record of 92,971.89 metric tons. Owners of commercial fishing vessels sent their crew into the sea with the use of fish finder and when they found that there were lesser school of fish for Indian sardines, they were advised not to go on fishing in order to conserve fuel and gasoline. In Zamboanga Sibugay, one traditional landing center stopped operation. One private landing center and LGU-managed landing centers in the same province had not recorded any unloading during the quarter (Table 2).

Reduced production was noted in 10 other regions namely: Ilocos Region, Central Luzon,

CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, SOCCSKSARGEN and Caraga. The production decreases in most of these regions were largely attributed to lesser fishing trips due to increasing cost of fuel and gasoline and other operating expenses. The production shortfalls were, likewise, explained by lesser number of fishing days and trips due to rough seas and strong winds brought about by successive typhoons (Bebeng, Chedeng, Dodong, Egay and Falcon) during the months of May and June and early arrival of southwest monsoon (habagat). The decrease in production was also a result of the existing high seas closure imposed by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) to replenish stocks of the highly migratory tuna species.

On the other hand, five (5) regions came up with high production this quarter compared to the last year’s levels, namely: Cagayan Valley, National Capital Region, Bicol Region, Western Visayas and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The production gain in Cagayan Valley was traced to heavy unloading of acetes and anchovy species in major landing centers. This was due to good weather condition which favored fishing activities in the region. Some fishing vessels which were previously dry-docked for repair were back in operation this quarter.

Additional two (2) fishing companies (Nathan and Balt Bep) unloaded their fish catch at Iloilo Fish Port Complex this quarter.

Unloadings in Local Government Unit (LGU)-managed landing centers grew by 7.50 percent or 1,836.72 metric tons above last year’s level. Fish catch unloaded at private landing centers recorded the biggest decrease at 33.44 percent or 39,850.01 metric tons. The volume of fish catch unloaded at the ports managed by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) went down by 1.64 percent while fish catch unloaded at traditional landing centers dropped by 6.96 percent. However, traditional landing centers accounted for the bulk of commercial fish catch unloaded at 151,001.98 metric tons.

MUNICIPAL FISHERIES

Municipal fisheries production was cut by 7,977.81 metric tons. This was 2.14 percent lower than the production last year.

Of the total municipal fisheries production at

364,882.03 metric tons, 88.87 percent came from marine fisheries and 11.13 percent, from inland fisheries. Municipal fisheries contributed 28.47 percent to the total fisheries production. Compared to the same period last year, marine municipal fish production at 324,286.71 metric tons was 3.21 percent lower this year. On the other hand, inland fisheries production grew by 7.30 percent

The bulk of captured marine species were unloaded in MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas,

Eastern Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula. Fish landed in these five (5) regions contributed almost 65 percent to the total marine municipal fish production. However, the same regions failed to exceed their levels of production in the same quarter last year.

Out of 16 regions, 11 posted decreases in volume of fish catch in marine waters. Biggest losers were

Caraga (12.18 percent), CALABARZON (11.11 percent), ARMM (6.16 percent) and Central Visayas (5.70 percent). The regions that were able to surpass their last year’s production records were Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, National Capital Region and Davao Region with respective increments of 9.24 percent, 7.98 percent, 4.74 percent, 96.43 percent and 1.39 percent.

Palawan was the leading province in marine fisheries production in the second quarter of 2011 with

59,806.03 metric tons of unloadings. The other provinces with relatively big shares in volume of production were Iloilo with 13,673.25 metric tons, Zamboanga City with 13,450.07 metric tons, Capiz with 12,898.48 metric tons and Surigao del Norte with 11,611.75 metric tons. However, Palawan recorded the biggest reduction in the volume of fish unloaded at 2,600.63 metric tons. This was followed by Tawi-Tawi (1,815.97 metric tons), Surigao del Norte (1,726.73 metric tons) and Quezon (1,311.77 metric tons).

The different weather systems like Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), low pressure area (LPA),

tropical depressions or typhoons, such as Bebeng, Chedeng, Falcon and Egay, that occurred during the quarter had great impact on fisheries. Southwest monsoon, locally known as “hanging habagat” also restricted movements of fishermen. Lesser fishing trips were observed in affected areas due to flooding, strong winds, rough seas, high cost of fuel and material inputs for fishing. Fishermen who were unable to fish due to bad weather conditions opted to do crop farming chores to have alternative sources of income while others mended their fish nets and repaired their fishing boats. A marked decline in catch per day or per trip was observed during rainy days. Reduced fishing effort resulted in smaller volume of catch and smaller income.

Inland fishermen, on the other hand, benefitted from the heavy rains that filled the river, creeks,

swamps, lakes, damps and other inland bodies of water. Sufficient water level helped in the proliferation of species that thrived in these waterways. Fast-growing big-head carp and tilapia were caught in big volumes in the previous months. Snails and clams were also gathered in large quantities during the quarter due to steady demand from duck raisers and pond operators.

demand from duck raisers and pond operators.

The 7.30 percent gain in inland fisheries production for the quarter came from CALABARZON, ARMM, SOCCSKSARGEN, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon. Eighty five (85) percent of total inland fisheries production of 40,595.32 metric tons were recorded by provinces where major lakes, rivers, marshes, swamps, dams could be found like, Laguna Lake in Laguna and Rizal; Lake Lanao in Lanao del Sur; Buluan Lake in Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat; Liguasan Marsh in North Cotabato; Candaba Swamp in Pampanga and Cagayan River in Cagayan province.

Regions that suffered setbacks in inland fisheries production included Ilocos Region, Eastern Visayas,

Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao and Caraga. Decreases in fish catch in other provinces could be traced to unabated illegal activities like logging and mining that were harmful to the environment, particularly, to waterways that serve as habitat for fish and other aquatic products. Uncontrolled quarrying and unchecked dumping of garbage in river banks stunted growth of species. Pollution of rivers and other waterways was evident in the dwindling fish catch of households (Table 3).

AQUACULTURE

Aquaculture production at 597 thousand metric tons posted a 5.36 percent increase from its previous year’s level of 566 thousand metric tons. Higher production growth was observed in seaweed farms and brackishwater fishponds. On the other hand, production in freshwater fish cages, oyster farms and marine fish pens suffered setbacks (Table 4).

Seaweed production which comprised 66 percent of the total aquaculture production, went up by 7.54

percent. Zamboanga Peninsula and MIMAROPA dominated the gainers. More operators in Zamboanga Sibugay engaged in seaweed culture this year due to availability of planting materials and lesser incidence of ice-ice disease. Higher output in MIMAROPA was attributed to the increased area harvested in Palawan as a result of distribution of seaweed planting materials by the DA-BFAR-LGU.

Harvests from brackishwater fishponds improved by 4.58 percent and reached 94 thousand metric

tons during the quarter. It contributed 15.75 percent to total aquaculture production. Western Visayas provinces reported good farm management and availability of stocking materials. Moreover, brackishwater fishponds in the region benefitted from long dry season that enhanced growth of “lablab” as natural food of the cultured species. In Northern Mindanao, additional area of P. Vannamei was recorded. This was coupled with bigger and matured sizes of harvested milkfish in Lanao del Norte.

Output from freshwater fish cages, marine fish pens and oyster farms dropped by 8.83 percent, 17.66

percent and 16.72 percent, respectively. Considerable losses in tilapia and milkfish production in freshwater fish cages in Batangas were experienced because of massive fish kill in Taal Lake due to oxygen depletion as a result of overstocking. Similarly, milkfish harvests from marine fish pens were reduced because of fish kill in Anda and Bolinao, Pangasinan. Still in Pangasinan, oyster production was affected by the demolition of structures obstructing the water flow done by Task Force Kalikasan.

SELECTED AQUACULTURE SPECIES

MILKFISH

Milkfish production in the second quarter of 2011 was estimated at 93,119.09 metric tons or 2.14 percent higher than the last year’s level. Majority of aquaculture farms registered increases in milkfish production except those farms with high mortality rate (Table 5). Production in brackishwater fishponds increased by 4.74 percent. Among the reasons for this performance were increased stocking rate because of availability of fingerlings, abundant supply of natural food and better salinity of water which greatly favored the growth of species. Milkfish harvests from brackishwater fish pens posted a 10.11 percent growth during the period April to June 2011. In major producing provinces, production of milkfish improved because of enough supply of stocking materials and good feeding management. Fish pen operators in Aklan increased their stocking rates due to high demand for boneless milkfish in the market. On the other hand, estimated volume of milkfish harvests from brackishwater fish cages at 330.23 metric tons was below last year’s level by 3.96 percent. Despite the output gains from La Union and other provinces, the increase in production did not offset the losses in brackiswater fish cages owing to financial constraints in operations.

The volume of milkfish produced in freshwater fish pens rose by 2.54 percent. This increase was attributed to the restoration of fish pens in Rizal which was affected by typhoon Ondoy in 2009. It was also noted that bigger sizes of milkfish were harvested since there was abundant supply of natural food in Laguna Lake. On the contrary, Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao registered output decreases of 11.53 percent and 7.47 percent, respectively. This was traced to high water level and muddy water in Buluan Lake brought about by frequent rains in Sultan Kudarat. Early harvesting was done because of apprehension of overflowing of water from the pens.

Batangas was the major producing province of milkfish from freshwater fish cages. However, output was reduced by 29.95 percent. This was mainly attributed to the overstocked cages that caused depletion of oxygen in the water resulting in fish kills of the species along Taal Lake. Continuous dismantling of illegal fish cages to decongest the area was also reported. Harvests of milkfish from Pangasinan both from marine fish pens and fish cages went down by 26.51 percent. The output decline in Pangasinan was the effect of fish kills in the municipalities of Anda and Bolinao. Similarly, milkfish production in Samar went down by 31.80 percent because some cages stopped operation due to financial constraints. However, output gains were reported in Davao del Sur, Iloilo and Zambales because of better management practices on feeding and stocking.

TILAPIA

Tilapia production at 64,006.35 metric tons was 1.42 percent higher than the production in the same quarter last year. About 56 percent of the total tilapia production came from freshwater fishponds, 27 percent from freshwater fish cages nine (9) percent from brackishwater fishponds and eight (8) percent from freshwater fish pens (Table 6). Production in freshwater fishponds went up by 4.92 percent. The provinces that contributed to the increment were those from Central Luzon and Isabela. Pampanga came up with 3.01 percent increase as a result of good water condition. The 8.95 percent growth in production in Nueva Ecija was due to the quality fingerlings and favorable weather condition. In Tarlac, output grew by 14.02 percent because the in- fallow fishponds were back in operation. Isabela’s output rose by 88.17 percent because of additional area harvested. Some fishpond operations were resumed in the municipalities of Alicia, Echague, Ramon and in the cities of Cauayan and Santiago. On the contrary, Pangasinan recorded a 4.42 percent decrease in production as selective harvesting was done because of high water level.

Brackishwater fishpond production grew by 4.65 percent. All provinces culturing tilapia in brackishwater fishponds showed output growth except Bulacan. Luzon provinces reported weather conditions that were found beneficial to the growth of natural food. In addition, availability of fingerlings and enough water encouraged operators in these provinces to increase areas for tilapia culture. On the contrary, there was harvest reduction in Bulacan owing to the scarcity of tilapia fry during the quarter and high cost of inputs that discouraged operators.

Tilapia production in brackishwater fish pens and cages increased

by 23.56 percent. The 25.16 percent output increase in Cagayan was traced to the harvests from newly established and rehabilitated fish cages

destroyed by previous calamities as well as the availability of fingerlings. In Ilocos Norte, there was shifting from milkfish to tilapia culture and operators resorted to intensive feeding. The availability of fingerlings, better water parameter due to the presence of rainfall during the quarter and continuos dispersal of fingerlings from BFAR in Ilocos Sur helped in attaining the 11.65 percent output increase. In La Union, the production increase was due to good culture management coupled with good quality of stocks. Meanwhile, in Agusan del Norte, the growth was attained with the harvest of giant tilapia.

Harvests from small farm reservoirs (SFRs) rose by 156.48 percent. Provinces that produced tilapia from SFR’s were Quirino, Isabela, North Cotabato, Bohol and Cagayan. These provinces reported normal water level during the quarter and more areas were seeded and operators were able to harvest bigger sizes of tilapia. It was also reported that some low water level reservoirs were now in operation.

The volume of harvests in freshwater fish cages went down by 6.15 percent this quarter. Batangas,

Laguna, Camarines Sur and Albay showed downward trends in production. In Batangas, the decrease of 10.34 percent was the result of over-stocking and oxygen depletion resulting in fish kill. The reduction of 0.43 percent in Laguna was due to the deferred harvesting to give time for species to grow and reach the desired marketable sizes. The output decreases in Camarines Sur And Albay were attributed to the proliferation of water hyacinths in Lake Bato resulting in less oxygen that limited stocking. On the other hand, in South Cotabato, output grew by 3.89 percent and this was attributed to favorable weather conditions that encouraged increasing of stocks.

Production shortfall of 0.11 percent was noted in freshwater fish pens. Production cuts were recorded in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, Laguna and Davao del Norte. In Sultan Kudarat, lesser harvest was due to high water level and muddy water in Lutayan Lake because of frequent heavy rains. Over flowing of ponds and financial problems of farmers in Maguindanao were reported. Fish farmers in Laguna deferred their harvests because of small sizes of tilapia while some operators took time to clean their fish pens and did not

harvests because of small sizes of tilapia while some operators took time to clean their fish pens and did not replenish their stocks. The 70 percent drop in production in Davao del Norte was the result of dismantling of dilapidated and worn-out fish pens in the province. On the contrary, Rizal registered a 5.05 percent increase in production because of larger area harvested and abundant supply of natural foods which resulted in bigger sizes of harvests. Some fish pens that have been damaged by typhoon Ondoy last year were now restored and were operational.

TIGER PRAWN

The second quarter 2011 harvest of tiger prawn was estimated at 16,125.16 metric tons. This was 3.17 percent higher than last year’s level (Table 7). The increased production in Bulacan, Pampanga and Lanao del Norte boosted the total output during the period. In Bulacan and Pampanga, there was shifting from P. Vannamei and milkfish culture, while good feeding in Lanao del Norte was reported which resulted to bigger sizes harvested.

Meanwhile, the reduced production of tiger prawn in Zamboanga Sibugay

was attributed to the contraction in area used for milkfish culture, high mortality rate and dikes damaged by floods during the previous quarters not being repaired yet. In Misamis Occidental, the 5.16 percent decrease in production was due to the shifting of species cultured, from tiger prawn to milkfish.

MUD CRAB

Total production of mud crab for the second quarter of 2011 at 3,570.60 metric tons was 24.72 percent higher than the last year’s level. All the top five (5) producing provinces of mudcrab recorded increases because of the availability of good quality crablets stocked. Bigger sizes and matured crabs were harvested. Proper feeding and good maintenance were also reported from these areas that effected good growth and less mortality rate (Table 7).

CARP

Carp production during the second quarter of 2011 was estimated at 3,439.82 metric tons. It was 3.22 percent bigger than last year’s level. The combined production of carps from fish pens and fish cages grew by 4.09 percent. The abundance of natural food, as well as, the resumption of operations of repaired pens and cages in Rizal, the top producing province, pushed production up by 4.47 percent. Moreover, there was market demand for carps due to low supply of fish coming from Batangas and Pangasinan. Fish cages production in Metro Manila increased by 6.57 percent due to the early onset of rainfall which not only brought in sufficient natural food beneficial to carp growth, but, also prevented the setting in of “liya”, thus, carps harvested were of good quality. Production of carps from small farm reservoirs (SFRs) soared by 280.88 percent. The combined harvests of Cagayan and Bohol resulted in the 30.88 percent increase. However, it was the initial harvest of 0.40 metric tons in North Cotabato that contributed to the significant change in production of carp.

On the other hand, production in Laguna, a major pen and cage producer, decreased as some operators deferred their harvest due to fish kill “scare”. Also, some pen and cage units were not utilized to pave the way for cleaning. Freshwater fishponds production dropped by 24.10 percent as the top producer, Lanao del Norte, recorded an output decline of 47.56 percent. Frequent rainfall in the province prompted operators to reduce feed usage and area of operation. This also caused overflowing in some ponds that eventually led to murky water. On the contrary, Pampanga’s production increased due to good water condition in ponds and early harvest in anticipation of frequent rains. Tarlac and other fishpond producing provinces

in ponds and early harvest in anticipation of frequent rains. Tarlac and other fishpond producing provinces reported increments attributable to more natural entry carps harvested due to high water level in ponds this year compared to dry ponds last year (Table 7).

CATFISH

Total volume of catfish harvested during this quarter was 624.07 metric tons or 15.01 percent lower than in the same quarter of last year. Provinces that contributed to the production decrease were Compostela Valley with 54.14 percent and Nueva Ecija with 50 percent cut in production. In Compostela Valley, it was due to financial constraints because of high cost of feeds. In Nueva Ecija, it was attributed to selective harvesting practiced by some operators and decrease in area harvested. On the other hand, Bulacan produced 3.40 percent more because of quality fingerlings used and bigger sizes harvested. In Iloilo, a huge output increase of 15.38 percent was mainly attributed to sufficient water level. Harvests of catfish in Davao City increased by 12.59 percent due to high water level that allowed high stocking (Table 7).

Production of catfish from small farm reservoirs expanded from 1.07 metric tons in the same quarter of

2010 to 2.47 metric tons this quarter. The provinces of Isabela, Quirino, Cagayan, North Cotabato and Bohol contributed to this growth. It was reported that some operators from these provinces were back in operation since water level has normalized and fingerlings were available.

SEAWEED

Seaweed production was 394,922.72 metric tons. It posted another 7.54 percent gain this quarter. Zamboanga Sibugay registered a significant increase of 61.61 percent. The usage and availability of better quality planting materials encouraged farmers to expand their area planted and harvested mostly in the seaweed producing municipalities of the province. Total harvesting of their stocks was done in response to the demand and higher buying price offered by traders during the period. There was less incidence of diseases during the quarter. Moreover, bigger area harvested in San Vicente, Palawan and the newly harvested area in Maribojoc, Bohol were reported. In Sulu, the increase was attributed to the continuous implementation of proper care and management practices with the assistance from BFAR and LGU (Table 8).

However, a decline of 3.47 percent was recorded in Tawi-Tawi due to uncontrolled ice-ice disease

and infestation caused by siganid fry (predators) in the areas. It was reported that siganid fry stayed on seaweed farms and nibble the stems that subsequently damaged the plants.

OYSTER

Oyster production this quarter at 9,222.43 metric tons was down by 16.72 percent. Some oyster beds in Pangasinan were affected by the demolition of the Task Force Kalikasan and this pulled down oyster production by 50.00 percent (Table 8).

On the other hand, the rise in production in Bulacan, Negros Occidental, Capiz and Cavite was traced to good occurrence of quality spats and increase in area harvested. Less infestation during the period was noted and farmers were able to harvest fully-grown stock. In Bulacan, more oysters were harvested during the second quarter in response to high demand. Oysters produced in Negros Occidental was still on its peak harvest season in anticipation for Pana-ad sa Negros Festival in April.

MUSSEL

Mussels produced this quarter figured to 9,575 metric tons. This indicated a 10.17 percent expansion from last year’s level. Samar came up with 46.24 percent increase in production. Better local market demand and high price encouraged farmers to increase their area planted and harvested. Good water quality and availability of spats resulted in additional stakes in Cavite. Moreover, support from BFAR and LGU in promoting “hanging method” for mussel which they called environment friendly method, was practiced by some operators in Capiz. More harvests by farmers in Negros Occidental were done in time for Pana-ad sa Negros. Low production of mussel in Bataan was due to small sizes of mussel harvested as a result of unfavorable water condition while some operators stopped operation due to lack of capital (Table 8).

FISH PRICES

Average prices of the six (6) selected fish species generally increased from their 2010 same quarter levels. At the producer level, the biggest price increment of 12.15 percent was recorded by roundscad. Prices of frigate tuna and Indian mackerel were also higher than last year's quotations, by 6.91 percent and 4.28 percent, respectively. Price gains were registered by tiger prawn at 2.76 percent and milkfish by 0.77 percent. However, price of tilapia went down by 0.10 percent.

At the wholesale level, average price of roundscad soared by 21.17 percent. Prices of frigate tuna and

tilapia recorded gains corresponding to 15.97 percent and 12.16 percent. Wholesale prices of Indian mackerel and tiger prawn went up by 2.89 percent and 0.16 percent, respectively. However, that of milkfish declined by 2.89 percent.

At the retail markets, prices of these fish species, except milkfish, continued to move upward. Average

prices of roundscad and frigate tuna were 16.32 percent and 12.41 percent more than their 2010 records, respectively. Increases in the average prices of tilapia, Indian mackerel and tiger prawn corresponded to 6.22 percent, 5.60 percent and 3.89 percent rates.

Bigger producer-retail price margins of P54.84 for tiger prawn and P51.35 for Indian mackerel were

recorded during the second quarter of 2011. These amounted to P42.90 for roundscad and P40.15 for frigate tuna. In the case of milkfish it was P31.97. Tilapia had the narrowest margin at P28.51.
