Production in Bangsamoro, Metro Manila, and the Davao Region went against the overall trend, increasing during this time.

Commercial fishing occurs throughout the country, targeting both large and small pelagic species, especially tuna and sardines, as well as demersal species.
That year saw marine fish cage use become large enough to be recorded, and combined production reached 43,000 million tons in 1997. [12] A 1982 study by the government and the FAO suggested the country had 9,145 hectares (22,600 acres) of potential oyster farming areas and 4,925 hectares (12,170 acres) that would be conducive to mussel farming ...
