2 percent from the 1.08 million MT a year earlier, the Philippine Statistics Authority said.A decrease in production was noted in marine municipal fisheries, inland municipal fisheries and aquaculture, while commercial fisheries reported an increase in production.In light of a recent oil spill affecting Cavite's fishing grounds, the BFAR has maintained a fishing ban in the province to protect public health.
