Abstract
The flying fish fishery in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Philippines, serves as a valuable source of livelihood for the local community. This study used both survey methods through face-to-face interviews with the respondents (N=37) and actual catch sampling to assess the socio-demographic profile of the fishers, the fishery, and the utilization of the commonly landed flying fish species in the locality. The survey results showed that the flying fish fishers in Guiuan were male-dominated, showing no participation of women in the capture segment of the fishery. The average number of members of a flying fish fishing household was 5. The majority (68%) of the fishers earned <PHP 5,000.00. All fishers (100%) used surface gillnet made from monofilament netting with an 8.5 cm mesh size in targeting flying fish. The catch rates generally showed a monthly variation as affected by the fishing season of the species. The surface gillnet catch was composed of 8 valuable flying fish species, including: 1) intermediate flying fish Cheilopogon intermedius (60%), 2) manyspotted flying fish Cheilopogon spilopterus (10%), 3) stained flying fish Cheilopogon spilonotopterus (8.7%), 4) Sutton’s flying fish Cheilopogon suttoni (0.4%), 5) margined flying fish Cheilopogon cyanopterus (0.3%), 6) Abe’s flying fish Cheilopogon abei (0.1%), 7) yellowing flying fish Cypselurus poecilopterus (15.6%), and 8) tropical two-wing flying fish Exocoetus volitans (4.9%). In terms of usage, 80% of the flying fish catch in Guiuan was utilized for household consumption, with 10% as fresh and 70% as dried, while the remaining 20% served as bait by tuna fishers.
