The Seminar, conducted with the participation of many experienced fisheries experts from SEAFDEC countries and other Southeast Asian countries, was made a great success by the active exchange of constructive expert opinions and views which offered a promising prospect for the future fisheries development in the whole Southeast Asian waters. The high evaluations given to the Seminar were manifested in the enthusiastic desire evinced by all countries and organizations concerned for early publication of its outcome which, however, has been postponed regrettably to date by reason of various restraints. It therefore gives me a great pleasure to present herewith the proceedings of the Seminar compiled and published by Japan International Cooperation Agency in compliance with the request of the Secretariat of SEAFDEC. Availing myself of this opportunity, I wish to express my deep gratitude to all organizations and individuals for the valuable assistance in the compilation of the proceedings, with my ardent hope that the proceedings will be found useful by the competent fisheries authorities and organizations in their search and endeavours at the consolidated development of fishing industry. Shinsaku Hogen President Japan International Cooperation Agency February 1, 1977 FORWARD For some considerable time the countries bordering the South China Sea have been aware of the need for more detailed knowledge of the fisheries resources of the South China Sea. At the Fourteenth Session of the Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council (IPFC), 1970, it was recommended that the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) or some other regional body organize a technical seminar on matters pertaining to the South China Sea and make available to the IPFC the results arising from such efforts. With the approval of the Council of SEAFDEC at its Fifth Meeting, 1972, the Technical Seminar on South China Sea Fisheries Resources was convened by the Center in Bangkok from 21 to 25 May 1973. In a joint effort, the technical aspects of the Seminar was arranged by the Marine Fisheries Research Department of the Center while the organization of the Seminar was carried out by the Secretariat. It was gratifying to note that the Seminar was very successful with active participation of participants from countries bordering the South China Sea. The Publication of the Seminar Proceedings, which has been delayed for two years by the limitation of funds, is now made possible by a generous contribution from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). On behalf of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to JICA for their assistance and sincerely hope that the knowledge gained from this important Seminar will be useful for future fishery development planning and for the management of the fisheries resources and fisheries of the countries in the region. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Secretariat, the Training Department and the Marine Fisheries Research Department, particularly Drs. S. Shindo and O. Suzuki and Mrs. Francesca Sreesangkom for their efforts in compiling the texts of the Proceedings. Thanks are also due to Mr. Pisit Ngam-ngod of the Marine Fisheries Laboratory, Department of Fisheries, Bangkok, for his preparation of the text figures.

  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.

  • An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3'
    An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3' A. Cabanbanb) E. Capulic) R. Froesec) and D. Pauly1" Abstract An annotated list of the flatfish of the Philippines was assembled, covering 108 species (vs. 74 in the entire North Atlantic), and thus highlighting this country's feature of being at the center of the world's marine biodiversity. More than 80 recent references relating to Philippine flatfish are assembled. Various biological inferences are drawn from the small sizes typical of Philippine (and tropical) flatfish, and pertinent to the "systems dynamics of flatfish". This was facilitated by the FishBase CD-ROM, which documents all data presented here, and which was used to generate the graphs supporting these biological inferences. a) For presentation at the Third International Symposium on Flatfish Ecology, 2-8 November 1996, Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, The Netherlands.

Then, the attributes of these objects can be used for various classificatory and/or interpretive schemes; for example, the table of elements in chemistry or evolutionary trees in biology. Fisheries science is no different; here the object of study is a fishery, the interaction between species and certain gears, deployed at certain times in certain places.

GUIDE TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF FISHING GEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES By AGUSTIN F. UMALI, Ichthyologist Illustrations by Silas G. Duran RESEARCH REPORT 17 Fish and Wildlife Service, Albert M. Day, Director United States Department of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 40 cents ABSTRACT One of the serious handicaps in the administration and manage­ ment of the fisheries of the Philippines has been the lack of standardized nomenclature for fishing gear. This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.
