Abstract
The annual production of Indian Mackerel, R. kanagurta in Surigao del Norte, Philippines, was investigated to determine the volume of production for the nine years (9) from 2011 to 2019 and to forecast the catch trend in the next 3-year period. The data were taken from the Philippine Statistics Authority OpenStat database and analyzed by using time series analysis. The annual production of this species was generally decreasing over the years. Indian mackerel was abundantly caught in the second quarter (181.27±18.8 mt) followed by the fourth quarter (168.88±12.0), first quarter (144.58±12.3 mt), and lowest was the third quarter (140.03±10.3 mt).
