Indicator 1 Fishing Operator
Definition A fishing operator is a person who takes the technical and administrative responsibility of managing the day-to-day fishing operation. He/she is responsible for making major decisions, including the management and supervision of hired workers in his/her fishing operation. He/she may do the catching or gathering of aquatic products alone or with the members of his household. He/she may not do the catching or gathering of aquatic products but may employ others to do the job for him/her. He/she may be the owner of the fishing boat and/or fishing gear.

A fishing operator on “own account” is the owner who is solely responsible for the technical decisions and implementation of plans involving when and where to go out fishing, what fishing gears/accessories/devices to use, and other fishing activity and who is responsible for the consequences that may result from the fishing operation. He/she may hire workers to do the job for him/her and may own a boat/vessel and/or fishing gears

 Indicator 4 Sex of Municipal Fishing Operator
 Definition  The sex of each household member can be determined by his/her name or relationship to the head, but in some cases, there is a need to ask the respondent whether the person is a male or female. Some names such as Alex, Joey, or Charito, have been commonly used to refer to either a male or female person.

Sex disaggregated data is of prime importance in demographic and socio-econimic studies. Seperate data for males and females may be crucial in the analysis of many types of data. Demographers and statisticians likewise consider sex a key variable in evaluating the completeness and accuracy of census counts.
