CHAPTER I
Introduction
Fish selling is one of the main jobs in the Philippines as it is an archipelago. In the
province of Batangas, the Municipality of San Juan is one example of a popular fish market.
Additionally, tourists frequently go there. However, the researchers discovered that even while
visitors continued to arrive, fish sales in Sitio Burol, Nagsaulay, San Juan, Batangas decreased.
(Bacay, 2019)
According to Alapan (2016), with a total production of 3.1 million tons of fish and other
aquatic creatures in 2014, the Philippines was one of the world’s top producers of fish.
Mindanao, in particular Surigao Del Sur, where fishing is a major source of income, is one of the
locations of the nation with an island-dwelling population numbering in the hundreds. The fact
that a number of intervening factors influence and restrict access to fishing, however, seems to
provide a serious problem for fishermen themselves. Ultimately, the price demand of fish being
workers or fishermen can be challenging for seafood dealers. In terms of obtaining government
identity cards as fish workers, they lag considerably behind fishermen and fish growers. While
collecting fish from the wholesale fish depots and fish landing centres, the fish merchants
encounter chaos and poor management every day. Mistakes are frequently made when bidding
at auction. The elderly and female fish dealers find it extremely challenging to participate fairly in
the auction due to jostling and pushing. Always taking advantage of the helpless and vulnerable
fish vendors are the wealthy and powerful. Naturally, the worst sufferers are the female fish
merchants.
In addition, according to Kolkata (2018), to move the fish from fish depots, seaside fish
landing centers, or other fish production centers to the fish markets or towns, fish merchants
need transportation. By bus, pick-up truck, motorcycle, rickshaw van, bicycle or even on their
heads, fish vendors transport the catch. Due to transportation and budgetary limitations, fish
vendors, particularly female fish vendors, endure extremely challenging circumstances. The
majority of those who receive government-provided bicycles, motorcycles, or cold boxes are
supporters of the reigning political parties, many of whom do not even come from fishing towns.
The experiences of fish vendors before the development of fish ports were
environmental issues. Fish dealers often confronted many difficulties and had unusual
and expanding market accessibility for vendors, fish ports were developed with the intention of
Back when the fish port wasn’t yet developed, the situation for fish dealers wasn’t
good. There was a lot of mud, unpleasant smells, and trash everywhere. Additionally, because
there were not enough spaces for each vendor, their goods were frequently stolen. Due to the
lack of available space, many sellers broke the fish ports’ laws and started putting up stalls on
the road. They would interfere with the truck routes, causing delays for oncoming traffic.
Additionally, their fish products have occasionally been seized for breaking the law. Back then,
Newly Developed Fish Port has a good or positive and bad or negative effects on fish
vendors. The positive effects of having a newly develop port is to have an opportunity to do
international trade, allowing for the import and export of goods. It can boost and improve the
services of ports. Having a newly develop port enhances connectivity with other places
for them to make their market easier And also, to be familiar with the strategies that they using
to have a better selling. And lastly, the researchers aims to know the changes of having a new

The fishing industry is one of the major drivers of coastal economies and has a
substantial impact on the local economy in terms of the economy, politics, society, and the
environment. The flow of goods between producers and consumers is made easier by a variety
of various sectors and agencies, which are all involved in the fishery sector of a region's
economy. The relationship between the fishing industry and the economy can be represented
as a flow that involves several stages, as follows: the primary fishing industry produces a variety
of fish products; market intermediaries facilitate the movement of this production among
households; processing industries, or forward-linked industries; and export; fishermen; and
forward-linked industries draw input from manufacturing and service industries, or backward-
as well as access to water territory islands that lead to the growing of the fishing industry. It is
followed by position of Indonesia that became third largest in fish production, after China and
Peru. Despite the relatively stable trend in total marine captures, catches of major species have
undergone marked variations over the years, as well as fluctuations in the catches among the
top producing countries – notably Indonesia, whose marine catches increased from less than 4
million tonnes in the early 2000s to over 6.7 million tonnes in 2018. Although improvements in
the country's data collection and reporting partially account for the increase. When global
catches are declining, the fisheries sector in Indonesia was recorded in a steady increase
institutions like the World Bank and the United Nations. This is demonstrated by an increase in
international conferences with an ocean focus that, in the past, have prioritized conservation as
the main topic but now highlight a focus on the "Blue Economy"
Moreover, Tolley et.al (2015) stated that the consolidation and corporatization of
fishing companies that occur when managers use individual transferable quotas (ITQs) have
been widely documented in fisheries around the world . The broad consensus among neoliberal
economists is that these predictable impacts are preferable as a first step in correcting the
shortcomings of fisheries management. It has been argued for a number of decades that
making access to fishing a private property right will lead to people who are permitted such
access safeguarding “their property” through better resource management. Even while
individual fisheries ITQs were created in the Netherlands, Iceland, and Canada in the 1970s,
New Zealand was the first country to embrace them as a national strategy.

fish stocks within biologicallv sustainable levels has decreased since the 1970s and is only
starting to recover now. IUU fishing is estimated at 15% of total catches, representing a value of
numerous sources of income. The sustainable livelihood framework proposed by Chamber and

Fias (2019) in her study “Research study for fish vendors, Study Guides, Projects,
Research for Biology “ stated that fish vendors encounter problems in their day-to-day
experience. The first category of problems concerns the low demand for fish. Aside from the
season, element of sales operation, other events like typhoons affect the demand for fish. Sea
calamities inhibit buyers from buying, resulting in low demand, supply glut, and saddling
vendors with the problem of leftovers. The general rise and slump in the supply of fish affect
them. When supply is high, they are forced to lower the price and when the supply is low,
vendors compete for the scarce supply and buyers are naturally turned oft given the few
choices. ‘The second problem is the inherent moral hazard of selling on credit, because buyers
may default on payment. The third one is lack of capital that constrains their operational
flexibility. The fourth is the incurring of losses brought about by several interconnected reasons.
Fifth is the health hazard of their job: the schedule Is extremely demanding and as a
consequence. Sixth, followed by the lack of physical assistance and the poor condition of the
building. Other problems are the rent, tough selling season, house rental, relocation, association
dues and tire. The vendors however, have learned to live with these problems, and through
Agustin (2019) on his study about “ The Participation of fish vendors in policy
formulation and implementation in Tacloban City wet market” stated that the City of Tacloban is
the largest City and Regional Center of the Eastern Visayas Region of the Philippines. It is also
the capital city of Leyte. It is known of its historical places and various products seen in the city.
There are abundant supplies of food in the market like fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. Fish
vending is a natural activity in any wet market. The success of the vendors lies in keeping their
“suki” (a friend or loyal customer) from coming back. Customers prefer the friendly and
approachable vendors according to their choice to whom they will to buy. There are secrets
where a fish vendor can have many loyal clients. One maybe by offering good quality of fish,
and proper fish handling, and better pricing . As an organization, participation of fish vendors in
the market policy formulation and implementation would help empower them. It makes impact in
terms of income, services delivered to customers, supplying the need both the vendors and the
consumers, and providing good condition of fish sold. Participation is done by way of attending
meetings, making suggestions on matters concerning market issues and abiding ordinance as
way of discipline. It is our common knowledge that fish vendors are recognized by the City
In the market itself, vendors face other kind of problem. Fish vending spaces are either not
recognized or just do not exist. Vendors are often harassed unto paying “local taxes” in order to
continue vending fish on city pavements and other areas perceived as encroaches on public
spaces. They are constantly harassed and threatened with eviction by the police and civic
authorities while 99 units of tampered weighing scales were destroyed by Tacloban City
