Comments by Conald R. Whitaker (at the Commercial Fish Farmers 



Convention, Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 31, 1975) and Bruce C. 



Moorehead (at the U.S. Trout Farmers Association, Huron, Ohio, 



Oct. 6, 1975), both of the National Marine Fisheries Service, are 



reported. National, fish processing industry and fish farming 



industry costs, economic effects and problems are discussed, 



using available data. Economies of scale in abatement place the 



smaller firm at a cost disadvantage. The industry may experience 



capital financing proclems, suffer from competition by overseas 



producers net required to install abatement equipment, and 



experience plant closures.

Table 1 of this general fishery statistics publication shows 



fishpond output quantity and value, along with that for 



commercial fishing, municipal fisheries, and sustenance fishing, 



and the total for 1951 to 71. Fishponds have the higbest average 



price. Table 24 indicates for 197 1 the regional, provincial, and 



national data on privately owned, leased and total area and 



output; and swamplands available for development (freshwater and 



mangrove area). Table 25 indicates area, investment (estimated 



at 2,000 pesos/ ha), men employed (estimated at one man/ha), 



production quantity and value, all for the years 1967-71. During 



the years 1967-71, fishpond area increased from 0.140 to 0.171 



million ha and the value of output from 135 to 328 million pesos. 



By definition, fishponds "include all developed brackishwater 



ponds where juvenile of immature bangos (chanos-chanos) or other 



kinds of fish and crustaceans are introduced, fed, protected, and 



eventually caught."
