As an archipelago, the Philippines is considered to have one of the highest per capita fish consumption in the world. Fish has always been an integral part of the traditional diet for Filipinos, as cited in a study by Dr. Rolando Platon, former chief of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD). In the country, the fisheries sector is classified into capture fisheries and aquaculture, where capture fisheries is subdivided into municipal, commercial, and inland fisheries.
