2 1. The purpose of the study
This study was carried out by the Project of “Conservation of the Galapagos Marine Reserve in the Republic of Ecuador” between Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Galapagos National Park of the Republic of Ecuador (PNG). The purpose of the study is to clarify the distribution and consumption state of fisheries products in Santa Cruz Island in Galapagos, especially focused on the point of fin fishes landing at local port.
2. Outline of the study
2-1 Term of the study The study was carried out from December 18th to December 29th of year 2006 for 12 days.
2-2 Object of the study The object of the study is middlemen and retailers of fisheries products, fisheries cooperative (Cooperativa de Produccion Pesquera Artesanal de Galapagos: COPROPAG), and individual fishermen in Santa Cruz Island. Moreover, we collected data and literature from PNG, Ministry of Tourism and National Institute of Statistics and Census (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Censos: INEC).

3 3. Materials and Methods
3-1 Methods of the study The study was carried out through hearing and interview survey and studying the literatures concerned. Especially interview to middlemen and retailer of fish in Santa Cruz was indispensable to grasp a real distribution value and figure. Interview was conducted with all of 8 middlemen in the city in order to search the amount of local fish supply. However middlemen who supply fish to outer island or to abroad were exempted from interview. Instead of that, data of which PNG is possessed was utilized to search the exporting amount. Population data was derived form INEC homepage of year 1990 and 2001. Data on visitors’ number to the Galapagos Archipelagos was collected from PNG database and data on tourist background was done form the report of Ministry of Tourism.

6 4. Background of fish consumption in Santa Cruz Island
4-1 Population Data on present population in the Archipelagos was not available because National Census had not been carried out since last census in 2001. However it is understood in general that the population is increasing especially in Santa Cruz since the previous census had been conducted. The present 2006 population was estimated in this study through data on population in 1990 and 2001. The annual population growth rate between year 1990 and 2001 was calculated 7.1675 %. The estimated population of 2006 was drawn 16,097 persons in the City using a rate of 7.1675 % as follows.

4-3 Food service industry and Tourism sector
A) Scale of food service industry Total number of restaurant in Santa Cruz was searched 33 with a seating capacity of 1,059 visitors. Also the number of local hotel equipped with restaurant was 21 with the capacity of 934 visitors for meal. In short 54 restaurants with 1,993 seating capacity were counted in total.
B) Scale of tourism sector The number of tourist boat based in Puerto Ayora was 73 with an accommodation capacity of 1,717 persons. Although some boats are small scale on engine and accommodation capacity, all of boats have function of preparation for meal. Seven boats with large scale of capacity can accommodate more than 40 persons. It became apparent consequently that 700 persons could be accommodated by only these seven boats.

10 5. Results
5-1 Outline of fisheries products distribution state The distribution of fisheries products in Santa Cruz is classified basically into 4 parts, A) Production step by fishermen, B) Distribution step to internal island by middlemen or retailer, C) Consumption step by local residents and visitors and D) Distribution step from the island to the continental, Ecuador or abroad by middlemen. Each classification step is explained as follows.
A) Production step by fishermen Fishes are landed at the Pelican Bay located at northern part of Puerto Ayora or the Muelle Principal located at the southern part. Fishes are landed at the Pelican Bay mainly by 8 small fishing boats made of fiber with about 20 ft length and 75 – 100 hp outboard engine, and they are sold to middlemen or directly to local consumer. All kinds of marine products are landed at the Muelle Principal including fin fish, lobster, sea cucumber and others by small and middle size of boats with about 5 tons, which are equipped with inboard engine and small bridge, and they are sold only to middlemen.
B) Distribution step to internal island by middlemen or retailer Two classified middlemen were found in Santa Cruz. One is to sell fishes within internal island and another is to sell them in the continent. The former middleman to sell them exclusively in the island was counted 5 persons and retailer who had stop to sell them was counted 2. The latter middleman to sell them outside the island was counted 22. Each middleman in general has his own fish supplier of fisherman and buyer of restaurant or tourism boat with conventional manner.
C) Consumption step by local residents and visitors The consumption step was classified into resident consumption at home, food service industry of restaurant and hotel and tourism industry of tourist boat. Both of local resident and visitor take fishes definitely at restaurant and hotel.
D) Distribution step from the island to the continental, After distributing fish and shellfish from the island to the continental the destination of fishes are separated into internal Ecuadorian consumption and export to international market. In this study detailed information about both quantities could not
11 be obtained. The treated products can include fin fish, lobster and sea cucumber. COPROPAG started distributing fin fish in July of 2006 for Manta, central coastal city of Ecuador.
5-2 State of distribution and consumption for fin fish Distribution network of fin fish can be classified into three parts of A) Direct selling by fisherman to consumer, B) Internal distribution by middleman and retailer and C) Selling by middlemen and retailer outside island.
A) Direct selling by fisherman to consumer The direct selling is served mainly at the Pelican Bay and “Feria Libre” (Saturday free market). The information was obtained through interview to fishermen and staff of COPROPAG or observation by researcher. ‘Table-4’ shows the result of the estimated distributing amount in first category of route.
Table-4 Direct selling from fisherman to resident consumer
Result of interview Examination Estimation sell
amount of year
Pelican Bay 2,000lbs sold in a week. Only 8 boats 60kg of average catch of a operation time, 2,000lbs x 52weeks =
for used in the landing facility. And 8 if operation boats is 2.5 per day, 6days 104,000lbs
times landing in a month. (8boat X working in week. This result is appropriate = 47,216kg
8times = 64 total times of landing) by observation on the field.
Feria Libre 1,000lbs sold per a week. Estimated about 800lbs by observation on 600lbs X 52weeks =
(Saturday free the field. 31,200lbs market) But that day is before day of Christmas. = 14,165kg
So, the fish selling are much about 30 % or
more as usually, by JICA long term expert
observation.
In this study estimated 600lbs per week.
Total 61,381kg (Annual)

12 B) Internal distribution by middleman and retailer The distribution route of this category shows that middlemen and retailers buy fishes from fishermen in order to sell them to resident consumers, food industry of restaurants and hotels and tourism boats. Interview was conducted to all middlemen of 5 persons and all retailers of 2 stores in the study. ‘Table-5’ shows the estimated distributing amounts of second category of route.

13 C) Selling by middlemen and retailer outside island The middlemen in this category are entirely different from the previous ones. Because their business targets only market in the continental. Marine products for export are regulated to be inspected and registered by PNG on the occasion when exported from Galapagos. The registration data which PNG holds was convenient and used to this study. Therefore interview to the middlemen was not conducted except for COPRAPAG. The data of export by COPRAPAG was just the result of exporting amount from July of 2006 to January of 2007. ‘Table-6’ shows the estimated amount of export in this survey.

14 5-3 State of distribution for lobster and sea cucumber The data on distribution for lobster and sea cucumber was obtained from PNG database same as an amount of fin fish export. The middleman to deal in lobster counted 7 persons, and also the middleman to do in sea cucumber counted 2 persons in Santa Cruz in 2005. The amount of these exports is shown in Table-7 as bellow. Total amount of Lobster is included around 1.5 tons of slipper lobster. Sea Cucumber is expressed with dry weight.

5-4 Distribution of other fisheries products Other fish products such as slipper lobster, octopus, conch, rocksnail, chiton and shrimp (Penaeus sp.) are distributed at market in Santa Cruz though the amount of each species seemed a little except for shrimp. Since the study was targeted mainly on fin fish distribution, other fish products were not searched.
15 5-5 State of fin fish price Fish selling price by fishermen and fish buying and selling price by middlemen and retailers were searched in Santa Cruz Island. Since they did not always answer the fish price on our interview, the price was recorded only in case that an interviewee made the price public without reluctance. Table-8 shows the results of survey for the fish price. The data indicates the minimum and maximum price and the mean price.

17 The total estimated amount for distribution was 408 tons. Breakdown of the distributing amount was 108 tons of resident consumption, 48 tons of food industry (restaurants and hotels) and 134 tons of tourism sector (touring boat). In total 289 tons was estimated for consumption in internal island. Also, 408 tons included 119 tons of transporting fishes to the continental for domestic consumption or export. The proportion of 70 % in total distributing amount was consumed in internal island, that is indicating the 50 % was utilized in tourism sector and the 37 % was done only for local resident out of the 289 tons. In short tourism sector bears an important role in fish distribution system. The results are verified as bellow.
A) The distribution amount for resident consumption The distribution amount for resident consumption was led 108 tons. Annual fish consumption per capita in Santa Cruz resident was calculated 6.75 kg upon the ground that 108 tons was divided by 16,000 residents. National marine products consumption per capita was indicated 5.8 kg in Ecuador according to FAO data of year 2002, and 9.6 kg on an average in the Caribbean Countries. The result of this study seems approximate under the conditions.
B) The distribution amount for food industry (restaurants and hotels) The distribution amount for food industry was led 48 tons. The amount of estimated consumption was mentioned 40 ton in local restaurants and hotels on PNG Report, “Evaluacion de Las Pesquerias en La Reserva Marina de Galapagos, 2002”. Their estimation method is explained that the monthly average between 4,586 kg per month in first quarter and 2,188 kg per month in second quarter was multiplied by 12 months. Each figure was led similar consequently.
C) The distribution amount for tourism sector (touring boat) The distribution amount for tourism sector was led 134 tons. The number of visitors was consulted 122,453 persons in 2005. Moreover average weight of fish consumption per one visitor could be estimated 1.1 kg. Almost all of visitors appear to enjoy boat touring whether he/she plans one day trip or 2 – 8 days tour course. The tourist boat ordinarily prepares fish dish as lunch menu in one day trip. Since about 200 g fillet of fish is served per one dish, 400 g is calculated to be taken by a visitor as whole raw fish. Therefore, one visitor can be led eating fish at 2.75 times on an average on his/her Galapagos tour under the formula of 1.1 kg / 400 g. The indicated figure of 2.75
18 times for one visitor to take fish dish seems appropriate from observation of ordinary their tour style.
6-2 Economic impact of fin fish distribution in Santa Cruz Island The economic impact was examined as a tentative calculation by method that price of fish is multiplied by the distributing amount. The economic impact was estimated both on production base and distributor base. The price of fish was used at maximum price, minimum price and intermediate price on an average. (Table-10)
Table-10 Economic impact of annual fin fish distribution for internal island by estimation
For internal island Distribution amount Resident food industry Tourism consumption sector Total Price （kg） 108,124kg 47,688kg 133,612kg 289,424kg Minimum $2.82 $304,910 $134,480 $376,786 $816,176 Production base Middle $3.17 $342,753 $151,171 $423,550 $917,474 Maximum $3.52 $380,596 $167,862 $470,314 $1,018,772 Minimum $3.48 $376,272 $165,954 $464,970 $1,007,196 Distributor base Middle $3.94 $426,009 $187,891 $526,431 $1,140,331 Maximum $4.40 $475,746 $209,827 $587,893 $1,273,466
The results of estimation were $800,000 to $1,000,000 at production base and $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 at distributor base. Tourism sector revealed to have high economic impact.
6-3 Characteristic of fin fish distribution in Santa Cruz Island The characteristic of fin fish distribution in Santa Cruz Island is explained in Fig-5. The arrow indicates direction of distribution of fin fish and the numeral weight is estimated amount. Moreover, the economic impact in internal island is expressed by intermediate point of price.
A) The distributor has a top power of effect The amount of fish distribution by distributors of middlemen and retailers proved 265 tons, which occupied 65 % in total distribution amount of 408 tons in Santa Cruz Island. Moreover, in case of including distribution amount by COPRAPAG the rate jumps up to the 85 % (347 tons) of 408 tons.
19 B) Tourism sector is an important actor in fin fish distribution Tourism sector bears 134 tons of fish consumption, which represents 33 % of the total distributing amount of 408 tons. It has revealed apparent that fisheries sector in Santa Cruz Island cannot survive without tourism sector.
C) Exporting growth is an important factor for fisheries sector The distributing amount outside the island included domestic consumption or export shows 29 % in total distributing amount of 408 tons. COPRAPAG started exporting tuna in July of 2006. Exporting has a possibility to get more economic impact in the Archipelagos with a manner of appropriate marine resources management.
D) Collaboration of stalkfolders is essential for further advance The state of fin fish distribution and consumption in Santa Cruz Island consists of 3 main actors of A) Fishermen, B) Distributor and C) Tourism sector. These 3 actors have influence each other on their own livelihood and even on local economic development. Suppose one of actors collapses, local economy suffers naturally from another blow. That is problem not only in fisheries sector but in social economy for local residents. Vitality of fisheries sector with sound condition is required therefore for all of local people and also visitors. Realization of sustainable development of fisheries in The Archipelagos is ambition for The Project.

21 7. Assignments and recommendations for the future
A) The distribution amount of other marine products Other marine products such as slipper lobster, octopus, conch, rocksnail, chiton and so on, which are captured locally, are distributing at market in Santa Cruz Island. Especially slipper Lobster is one of the most important resources in Galapagos fisheries. These marine products were not searched in their distribution system in this study.
B) The distributing fin fish amount introduced from other islands of Galapagos Some middlemen certainly buy and introduce fish from other islands of Galapagos for consumption in Santa Cruz and for export. The introduced amount was not searched in this study. COPRAPAG started registering the handling data of buying and selling using a computer to make whole fish distribution clear from January 2007. The Project should keep in contact with the fisheries cooperative and get the data as soon as possible.
C) The distributing marine products amount introduced from main land of Ecuador Marine products which are introduced from the main land, such as shrimp (Penaeus sp.) are distributing in Santa Cruz. This distributing amount was not searched in this study.
D) Necessity of additional study The Project should implement an additional study in order to resolve the above assignments.
