4. Fish markets are important indicators of the status of local fisheries, showcasing the diversity, abundance, and economic value of marine resources. In Borbon, Cebu, vendors sell a wide range of products from capture fisheries and aquaculture, including small pelagics , shrimp, crabs, squid, and seaweed. A market survey helps document species composition, size, and price variations, which can reflect fishing pressure, seasonal availability, and consumer demand. This laboratory activity was conducted at the Poblacion Public Market to identify fish species sold, measure their sizes, record price ranges, and relate these findings to fisheries management and conservation. INTRODUCTION

5. MATERIALS & METHODS Study Area: Poblacion Public Market, Borbon, Cebu and Campusong , Borbon, Cebu. Materials: Data sheet, pen, pencil, ruler, field guide ( FishBase and PDF file) , camera, record book.

6. Methods: Surveyed 4 vendors, identified species (family/order). Measured lengths (cm), recorded prices (₱/kg). Asked vendors about the source (capture vs aquaculture, and the place itself). Observations documented and summarized in charts.

7. RESULTS: SPECIES DIVERSITY IN BORBON, CEBU 27 species identified across fish, invertebrates, and seaweeds. Products included finfish, shrimps, crabs, mussels, squids, sea urchins, seaweeds.

8. Families represented: RESULTS: SPECIES DIVERSITY IN BORBON, CEBU Clupeidae Carangidae Scombridae Penaeidae Portunidae Siganidae Solieriaceae Caulerpaceae Loliginidae Arcidae Strombidae

12. OBSERVATIONS Small pelagics ( tamban , buraw , kutob ) – low price, high volume. Premium aquaculture species (bangus, sugpo , vannamei, lato) – stable supply, higher price. Seasonal species ( swaki , tuyom , kasag ) – dependent on tides/harvest season. Market trend: Mix of affordable staples and luxury seafood.

16. CONCLUSION

17. The market survey revealed a rich species diversity in Poblacion , Borbon, highlighting the community’s dual reliance on both capture fisheries and aquaculture. Prices of fish and invertebrates varied depending on size, consumer demand, and source, with larger species and cultured products often commanding higher market value. However, the consistent sale of smaller-sized individuals suggests possible signs of overfishing and harvesting of juveniles, which could threaten future stock replenishment if left unchecked. These findings emphasize the importance of fisheries management measures such as implementing size limits, continuous monitoring, and community awareness programs to promote sustainability and ensure the long-term availability of marine resources.
