FISHERY The city has a 22.5 kilometers coastline fronting a fishing ground called the Gingoog Bay. It covers an area of 33,750 hectares or 337.5 sq. kilometers. Known marine fish varieties caught are scad, mackerel, tune, flying fishes, siganid, grouper, grant, mullet, butterfly fish, and squids. Bangus, prawns, and crabs are raised in fishponds while carp and tilapia are raised in inland freshwater and ponds.
The problem is low average catch of the commercial and small-scale
fishermen. Marginal fishermen yield a total catch of 182.34 M.T. while
commercial fishermen yield a total catch of 284.25 M.T. Low production can
be attributed to the use of entirely hook, line and sinker method of
catching fish. Some have fishing nets but do not have motorized fishing
boats. This could be also coupled to siltations of riverbeds due to soil
erosion. Gingoog Bay is gifted with numerous creeks and rivers but could
be also detrimental if soil erosion will not be controlled or minimized.
Water pollution is not of great concern yet in the city. |
