I am currently undertaking my undergraduate thesis entitled: Characterizing the Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus, 1758) Fisheries in Bicol Region and the Possible Impacts of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing and Poaching. I am looking for a specific blue swimming crab fishery in the Bicol Region of the Philippines from where I might conduct key informant interviews and obtain catch data on blue swimming crabs.
Portunus pelagicus is abundantly distributed in Sorsogon Bay. You can conduct your survey in Magallanes, Sorsogon.
Check the links below for previous records of the blue crab fishery in Bicol Region.
