    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.
