Fisheries output rises 2.64% in second quarter, aquaculture leads
Excerpt
Fisheries output rose 2.64% year-on-year to 1.13 million metric tons (MT) in the second quarter, the Philippine Statistics Authority said. In its Fisheries Quarterly Performance Report for the three months to June, the PSA said aquaculture farms and commercial offshore fishing operations posted increases in output, while municipal fishery output declined 2.46% to 295,640 MT due to bad weather, which discouraged fishermen from heading out. Of the total, marine fisheries accounted for 86.40% while the remainder was generated from inland fisheries.
