The Benefish project
Discussion
Fisheries and aquaculture are important
Food security
• High per capita fish
consumption
Low estimate
Economic
• Important contribution to
GDP (2007 estimates)

Participation - household participating in
fishing (and aquaculture) activities
Equipment – asset ownership
Activity - type of fishing undertaken
Income - income generated from sales
Location - where fishing activity occurs
Purpose - use of production
Species - what species are targeted
Expenditure – household expenditure on
fish for consumption
Production - volume
Applications of census data in a fisheries
and aquaculture context
1. Policy development (e.g., industrial vs small-scale)
2. Development planning (e.g., FAD deployment; hatchery)
3. Resource management (e.g., community based ecosystems
approach to fisheries management; WCPFC)
4. Social and economic (e.g., food use and security, livelihoods,
cultural, poverty alleviation)
5. Household listing for sample frames (statistical validity)
Global strategy to improve agricultural and
rural statistics
• Guidelines to enhance fisheries and aquaculture statistics
through a census framework multi stage approach:
Step 1: census
• Define survey targets
• Engagement by
scope
Step 2: community
survey
• Infrastructure
• Governance
• Common property
• Services
• Infrastructure
SUPPLEMENTARY CENSUS MODULE
Step 3: household
survey
• Household and
individual
• Production
• Trade
• Stocks – balance
sheet and resources
• Inputs
• Processing
• Prices
• Income and
expenditure
Proposed core fisheries and aquaculture

Has any member of this household engaged or participated in any fishing
activities in the past 12-months? [Yes / No]

3.
Fishing – capture / gleaning
Aquaculture – freshwater / mariculture
Post harvest – vendor / food processing / handicrafts
Tourism – guiding / agro / environmental
Other (e.g., boat building)
Subsistence (home consumption)
Sale (income generation)
Mainly home consumption, but some sale
Mainly sale, but some home consumption
Other
What are your annual production estimates? AND/OR What are your annual
income estimates?
Supplementary challenge: Fisheries and
aquaculture are complex
E.g., supplementary question
S1: What type of fishery and
aquaculture is this household
involved in?
E.g., pre-described categories
Fishery / aquaculture type
Y/N
Tuna and other pelagic fish

Deepwater fisheries
Reef fish (excl. aquarium trade)
Reef fish for aquarium trade

Invertebrates for domestic supply

Invertebrates for international
markets (excl. sea cucumber)

Proposed themes in supplementary
module
With input from SPC’s FAME division and based on recommendations made
by the global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics,
supplemental data items should cover:
1. Fishery / aquaculture industry detail
2. Output estimates
3. Trade by market
4. Assets and stocks – balance sheet and natural resources
5. Inputs – fishing effort (location, trips, time, gear) labour, ponds, feed, etc.
6. Post harvest – vending, processing and value adding
7. Prices - producer and consumer
8. Legislation – fisheries management, awareness, licensing, etc.
9. Infrastructure – marketing, hatcheries, ice plants, transport, etc.
The benefish study
•
•
•
In 2001 and 2008 SPC collaborated
with ADB to produce reference
manuals on fisheries in the
economies of PICTs
The publications brought together
much of the available information on
benefits from fisheries - total fish
harvests, fisheries contribution to
GDP, exports, government revenue
and nutrition
2015 Benefish study begins in August
and there is interest in information in
relation to:
–
–
–
–
Fishing contribution to GDP
Fisheries imports/exports
Fisheries related employment
Fish consumption
Discussion
• Suitability of proposed core fisheries questions
• Suitability of proposed themes of supplementary
fisheries module
• Cost-benefit of adding module or doing additional
survey
• Reference period
