Synopsis (short abstract) During The period from June 1966 to December 1968 a new framework for fisheries statistics was initiated. In setting up this system it was found that that the raising factor of 4 presently used as base for the commercial catch statistics should be replaced by regional factors. The number of families engaged in municipal fishing was estimated 353,710 utilizing 263,912 boats of which 49,592 are powered. Preliminary estimates of total municipal landings in Region I and Region III (excluding Palawan ) resulted in 20,900 tons and 137,400 tons respectively. The area survey of fishponds revealed that privately owned ponds had been underestimated by some 35,000 hectares while Governement-leased ponds were over estimated by 8,000 hectares. Since 1963 the number of duck farms decreased from 4324 to 3796 while the number of ducks kept increased from 536,690 to 734,445. The fish catch in Laguna de Bay showed a sharp decline during the period, while shrimp catches in the Lake increased materially. This report has been prepared as a working document of the FAO/UNDP - SF Deep Sea Fishing Development Project in the Philippines. It is not an official report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations nor of the United Nations Development Programme.

Fish marketing advice formed an important part of the activities of a project undertaken by the Government of the Philippines with assistance from the United Nations Special Fund 1 and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The work started under the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance in 1965/66 and was completed under the Special Fund in 1967–69. A survey of fish marketing and distribution practices in the Philippines was conducted, and recommendations made conce rning wholesale markets, landing facilities, fish auctions, transport and distribution and certain aspects of fish processing. Two harbours, Navotas and Dalahican, were suggested for immediate consideration for the construction of fishing ports. Pending decisions on further fishing harbours, increased use should be made of existing inter-island shipping ports. Wholesale and retail prices of fish at the Navotas market and Manila markets were obtained for an 11 month period in 1968/69, and the d istribution of fish from Navotas to other provinces is reported on. 1 The United Nations Special Fund and the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance were merged to form the United Nations Development Programme on 1 January 1966. The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to the following organization and individuals who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities:
