The study aims to assess the cephalopod diversity, fishery, and market value in selected fishing areas of the Bicol Region.
Conducted a market survey from June to July 2025 in selected landing sites of Asid Gulf, Lagonoy Gulf, and Ragay Gulf.
Utilized a standardized survey protocol to rank cephalopod species based on commercial value, catch rates, and other criteria.
Documented a total of ten cephalopod species from the Orders Teuthida, Octopoda, and Sepiida.
Lagonoy Gulf and Ragay Gulf exhibited the highest similarity (67%) in cephalopod composition, while Asid Gulf and Ragay Gulf showed the least similarity (44%).
There has been a declining trend in cephalopod catch volumes with an increasing market value over the past five years.
The findings suggest potential overexploitation of cephalopods driven by rising market demand and highlight the need for sustainable management strategies.
