Aquaculture has made up an increasingly large proportion of fisheries products produced in the Philippines, and there has been considerable research into improving aquacultural output. Philippine output in total makes up 1% of global aquaculture production, and the country is the fourth-largest producer of seaweed.
Aquaculture is carried out in fresh, brackish, and marine water. [9] Farms are generally placed in municipal areas, either on land or in coastal and nearshore areas. [27]: 1 Of the 913.40 MT of brackish aquaculture production in 2020, 93% was milkfish. [4]: 31 Of the 170,939.11 MT of freshwater fishpond production in 2020, 96% was tilapia.
In 2019, the Philippines produced 2.07% of global fisheries commodities (including fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants), the eighth largest amount in the world. This included a 1.01% share of non-plant aquaculture production (858.28 thousand metric tons), and a 4.19% share of global plant aquaculture production (1.50 million metric tons).
Municipal fisheries and aquaculture combined produced 73% of all catch from 2011 to 2020. [33] From 2012 to 2021 aquaculture was far more productive than municipal fisheries, whose productivity was in turn slightly higher than that of commercial fisheries. [6]: 27 In terms of value the difference was not as large.
Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater populations under controlled or semi-natural conditions and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish. [2] Aquaculture is also a practice used for restoring and rehabilitating marine and freshwater ecosystems.
