    Vulnerability drivers for small pelagics and milkfish aquaculture value chain determined through online participatory approach
    Macusi, Edison D.; Geronimo, Rollan C.; Santos, Mudjekeewis D. (Elsevier, 2021-11)
    Climate change impacts on the fisheries can be short-term or long-term, making them highly vulnerable. Fishers' vulnerability encompasses several factors and includes, among others, their sensitivity, exposure to the elements, and their adaptive capacity. The main aim of this study was to help develop a vulnerability assessment tool that can be applied in the various nodes of the fisheries and aquaculture value chains with a long-term view of enhancing the resilience of the fisheries and helping increase the adaptive capacity of the fishing communities. A participatory technique using online workshops was conducted together with various stakeholders (N = 214) who gave insights and suggested indicators that drive climate change impacts and vulnerability. Based on the online workshops conducted, the common hazards/drivers were increasing temperature, typhoons, flooding (sea-level rise), and the recent pandemic, which consequently destroy coral reef ecosystems, affect fisheries yield, increases fish mortality, damage boats, fishing gears, pens, cages, pond dikes, erode beach properties, and devastate houses. In association with these impacts, mobility, travel, processing, and logistic operations are severely reduced. In the human dimension, the fishers and fish farmers are directly affected in terms of income loss, destroyed fishing gears, nutritional deficiencies and health impacts, less fishing operations, early or reduced harvest yield, and low market value of products. In the adaptation options, the infrastructure, social, economic, awareness/knowledge, and relevant governance/policy dimensions are needed to address and help mitigate various climate change impacts.

    BFAR Administrative Circular No. 251: Series of 2014. Traceability system for fish and fishery products.
    (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 2014-05-16)
    This Circular, consisting of 12 sections and two Annexes, establishes the traceability system for wild-caught and farmed fish and other aquatic products. It covers the following business operations: a) Wild-caught (fishing boats or vessels; landing at ports, buying stations and auction markets; pre-processing, cold storage and processing plants; transporters and dry warehouses; and, traders, shippers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers). Aquaculture (fish feeding producers; hatcheries and breeders; wild fry suppliers; nurseries; aquaculture/growing farms; buying station/auction market; live fish transporters; pre-processing and processing plants; transporters, cold stores and dry warehouses; traders, shippers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers). This Circular shall apply to all Fishery and Aquatic Business Operators (FABOs) directly or indirectly involved in the production and processing of fishery and aquatic products for export, provided, that the Department, through subsequent regulations, shall coordinate with other regulatory agencies and the Local Government Unit (LGUs) in the application of this Circular for Fisheries and Aquaculture products intended for domestic consumption.
