| Summary: | This paper examines the specific roles of men and women at various phases of fishing activity. There were a total of 266 fisher respondents randomly selected from six identified fishing sites in Leyte, Philippines. Data were gathered through face-to-face interview using a pre-tested questionnaire. Both descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test were carried out to analyze the primary data gathered. Based on the findings, men primarily take part in decision makings pertaining to fishing activity such as fishing time, place, and quantity of fish catch to sell. They also are the in-charge in the preparation of the fishing paraphernalia and the ones who sell and bring the fish catch to their preferred marketing outlets. Meanwhile, women played vital roles in cooking the food for fishing activity and the ones who compute, record and keep the earnings from fishing activity. |
