AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION (2018)
 Capture fisheries
 Production declined from 2010 – 2017, despite increased fishing effort
(number of vessels, CPUE)1,2,
 Not accompanied by decline in value
 Depleted, overexploited status due to overfishing and habitat
degradation3
 Aquaculture
 Steady increase from 2008 – 2010, decline from 2011 – 2018 (14%
reduction from peak 2010 volumes)
 No decline in value
 Post-harvest losses reduce the value of fisheries & products 4
 Capture: Discarding by-catch, processing catch into low-value products
(eg fishmeal)
 Improper handling, Inconsistent quality, poor safety standards, lack of
infrastructure
Status of Philippine fisheries
9
1Briones 2007, 2BFAR Fisheries Profile, 3Go et al 2015, Stobutski 2006, 4Espejo-Hermes 2004
 Declines in catch biomass, species diversity
 Reported shifts in community structure
 Low income of most fishers
Features of Philippine Fisheries (FAO Fisheries Profile, DA-BFAR)
 Depleted fishery resources
 Degraded coastal environments and critical habitats
 Unmet potential of aquaculture and commercial fishing grounds
 Improper post-harvest practices, inefficient marketing lead to losses
or reduced value
 Inequitable distribution of benefits
 Inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral resource-use conflicts
 Inadequate systems and structures for fisheries management
Philippine fisheries are mostly unsustainable
10Stobutski et al. 2006, Muallil et al. 2014, Silvestre et al. 2003, San Diego and Fisher 2014,
Anticamara and Go 2015
1. Expanded exploitation of oceanic waters outside the Phil EEZ
 Bilateral access agreements for fishing (PNG, Indonesia)
2. Expansion of aquaculture production
 Brood stock quality and supply
 Disease control, diagnostics
 Development of more efficient production methods
3. Improve post-harvest and value-added product industry
4. Expanding bioprospecting activities: discovery of high-value
products with pharmaceutical, industrial, nutraceutical applications,
through to commercialization and marketing
These are on top of initiating measures for sustainable
management of capture fisheries
Strategies to improve fisheries production and
utilization of resources
11
Philippine example: Sea cucumbers

culture technologies to sustain
and enhance income of sea
cucumber fishers and growers

• Develop product standards
• Resource assessment
• Genetic stock delineation
Research into biology to improve:

 Key strategies for maximizing utilization of FMGRs:
 Sustainable management of capture fisheries
 Develop/Enhance aquaculture production
 Develop value-adding post-harvest technologies and systems
 Open up additional income/market streams: bioprospecting for natural
product discovery
 Considering the state of capture fisheries, aquaculture may have the
most potential to augment fisheries production in the medium-term;
 Fisheries management (capture and culture) should be anchored on
environmentally-sound practices, considering biodiversity (including
genetic) conservation so that genetic resources remain intact for
future efforts at further development.

Editor's Notes

  • #12: Require considerable investments in R&D, technology transfer, capacity building
  • #16: Marine biogeographic regions as minimum management units What about ecological management units?
  • #20: Marine biogeographic regions as minimum management units What about ecological management units?
  • #21: Preliminary studies- Extraction of crude saponins and structural elucidation by MS. MS data suggests ~ 10-15 saponins ( with unique molecular weights) - Saponins in s. horrens appear to be novel ( as reported MW weight is not same as those reported in literature for holothurians) Clade specific saponin production
