    A priority activity of the SCSP is to stimulate the development of aquaculture as an integrated part of the total development of fisheries. Based on its work to date, one of the major constraints found is the lack of practical, sound, workable, engineering practices to guide development. It is felt that all the expertise required exists in the region, but that it is unevenly distributed and not well known among the countries. This Workshop has provided a vehicle for the exchange of very usefu l engineering practices and further it has given valuable guidance to the Programme in its future activities to assist the region particularly in small-scale fisheries development. It has been carried out with close cooperation of SEAFDEC in providing its facilities and staff and as well as the lodging and living expenses of the participants while attending the Workshop. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assisted also in the organization and implementation. Close collab oration, support and participation was given by the private sector, through the Philippine Federation of Fishfarm Producers, Inc.

    The Philippines: report on the development of fishery statistics in the Philippines. Second interim report, June 1966 to December 1968 1968

    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.
