Description
Abstract:	Attendant upon the existence of numerous and varied ingenious methods for taking fish and the prevalence of many dialects in the Republic of the Philippines is the confusion that results from the use of the diverse vernacular names of fishing appliances. This has hampered an understanding of the Philippine fisheries, and it is foreseeable that it would increase the problems that arise in attempts ot manage fishery resources on a national scale. It was principally with the aim of standardizing the gear nomenclature that the present study was undertaken with the desire that the conflicts which arise from time to time may be settled equitably.
