    Growth, mortality and recruitment pattern of the brown mussel, Modiolus metcalfei (Bivalvia: Mytilacea), in Panguil Bay, Southern Philippines
    Tumanda, Marcelino I.; Yap, Helen T.; McManus, Liana T.; Ingles, Jose A.; López, Mai G. (Elsevier BV, 1997-08)
    A stock assessment study of Modiolus metcalfei in Panguil Bay, Southern Philippines, was conducted to determine growth parameters of the species and the status of the fishery given the current harvesting efforts of this resource in the bay. Growth parameter estimates yielded mean K and Lα values of 2.04 year−1 and 62.50 mm, respectively. The recruitment pattern appeared to be unimodal, with the peak occurring during the months of May–July. Spat settlement ratios for May and July were 1.6 and 2.0 spat per live adult mussel, respectively. Settling spat showed preference to attach onto the shells and exposed byssal threads of live adult mussels. Catch curve analysis showed total mortality (Z) value of 7.64 year−1; fishing mortality (F) was 5.60 year−1. Exploitation rate was 73% of total mortality, and was attributed to intensive mussel gathering by local fishermen. Fishing mortality shows an over-exploited stock that necessitates some management intervention to maintain the sustainability of the fishery resource.

    Project backed by WB loan targets poor fisherfolk
    Aning, Jerome (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2022-11-25)
    Malacañang on Thursday said the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) had approved an P11.2-billion, seven-year project that seeks to lift 350,000 fisherfolk in 24 coastal provinces out of poverty while ensuring food security. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, who is also the Neda director general and vice chair, announced the approval of the Philippine Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) project that will mostly be funded by a loan from the World Bank (WB). The announcement came after President Marcos, who sits as Neda chair, held his first meeting with officials of the socioeconomic planning body led by Balisacan.

    P10 billion eyed for fisheries program
    (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2021-10-28)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Wednesday said it is in the final stage of getting the approval to implement the Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe) Project worth $200 million (P10 billion) funded by the World Bank (WB). In a statement, the DA said the FishCoRe project will benefit about 500,000 fisherfolk and stakeholders in the fisheries and aquaculture sector or the so-called blue economy. The seven-year project, which is the first WB-funded project to be implemented with the DA's Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), primarily aims to support the scaling-up and modernization of the Philippine capture fisheries and aquaculture industry. This will be done through the provision of technical support and innovation, access to modern and resilient fisheries infrastructure and post-harvest facilities, and promotion of efficient connectivity and product value addition, among other initiatives
