Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – General Santos Fish Port Complex (PFDA-GSFPC) maintains its positive unloading trend and highest unloading volume among all PFDA Regional Fish Ports (RFPs) since last quarter, and is continuously performing competently by providing its consumers adequate fish supply. 

Based on a special reportorial monitoring report by the PFDA - Operations Services Department and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), PFDA-GSFPC has registered 5,439.29 metric tons (MT) of unloaded fish supply during the April 8-14, 2021.

Skipjack tuna (sambangon) is on the top list of fish species with the highest unloading volume, reaching 3,295.72 MT or more than half of the week’s catch. This is followed by skipjack tuna (gulyasan), yellowfin tuna, galunggong, and matangbaka, completing the port’s top five common species with the highest availability record for the week.

As PFDA-GSFPC goes the extra mile to provide clients and stakeholders with enough fish supply and maintain its weekly unloading volume, there is a greater chance that the port will surpass its records from previous months.
