This study was conducted specifically to determine the: (1) profile of the
respondents and the fishery industry; (2) industry practices and problems along
production, marketing, human resources, finance, and support services; (3) strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the fishery industry; and (4) recommend a
development plan for the fishery industry in the municipality of Bacnotan, La Union. The
data were gathered through personal interview with the aid of a questionnaire from one
hundred twenty (120) registered fishermen drawn from the seven (7) barangays of
Bacnotan, La Union. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS), the Chi-Square test, frequency counts, percentage, range, mean, and
ranks.
Findings revealed that the majority (83%) of the respondents were male and had
an average age of 51 to 60 years old. Fishermen identify high capital requirements, high
input costs, lack of transportation, lack of equipment for fishing, low buyer-set prices,
and losses due to natural calamities as major issues. In marketing, the setting of prices
by the market was identified as a problem. There was no transportation available from
storage to market, and family members had poor orientation to fishing due to lack of
human resources. Limited capital is one of the financial issues faced by fishermen. In
support and services, lack of financial support and technical support from LGU were
identified as problems. The relationship between mode of payment and sex, fish
recordkeeping and sex, as well as practice in recordkeeping and educational attainment,
have significant relationships.
