                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The fish catch of some 12 million small fishermen nationwide has been reduced from an average of some 25 to 30 kilos in three hours in the 1970s to only about five kilos per day due to illegal fishing mainly by fishing companies. 


In an interview with The STAR, Pablo Rosales, national president of the Progresibong Alyansa ng Mangingisda (Pangisda), said this was reflected in their study based on reports of fishermen’s groups from various parts of the country where illegal fishing thrives.
