영문 초록

The study examines the problem of juvenile fishing as applied to anchovies, sardines, siganids (rabbitfish), and tuna fisheries in the Philippines and discusses the issues revolving around the sustainability of such fisheries in the long run. Results of the study showed that overfishing has resulted in the overexploitation of adult anchovies, sardines, rabbitfish, and tuna, and that juvenile fishing exacerbates the problem. The Philippines already has an enabling law that promotes the protection and conservation of Philippine fisheries resources. The provisions of the 1998 Philippine Fisheries Code range from regulating mesh sizes and types of fishing gear used to the establishment of marine protected areas and closed fishing seasons. Like any piece of legislation, enforcement accompanied by community stakeholder participation is crucial in achieving the sustainability of fisheries resources in the long term.
