Aquaculture makes up a substantial proportion of the overall output of Philippine fisheries. It has a long history in the archipelago, with wild-caught milkfish being farmed in tidally-fed fish ponds for centuries. Modern aquaculture is carried out in freshwater, brackish water, and seawater throughout the country through a variety of methods.
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).
[4]: 38 In 2018, Philippine aquaculture produced 826.01 thousand MT of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, worth $1.89 billion, the 11th largest national production in the world accounting for 1.01% of global production. [4]: 9 The aquaculture sector made up 41.82% of the value of Philippine fisheries in 2020.
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.
In the Philippines, shrimp aquaculture is responsible for the destruction of thousands of acres of mangrove fields which serve as nurseries and living habitats for many marine organisms. Benthic habitats are being depleted due to the high amount of organic waste produced by the fish which settles below their pens(4).
