Abstract

Nearly 30 years since an assessment on the local harvest of Caulerpa racemosa at Solong-on, Siquijor, we conducted a similar study in November 2013. Present CPUE of Caulerpa is significantly lower than it was in the 1980s. Probable factors attributing to this decline are briefly enumerated and discussed.
