Analysis of the fisheries market structure in the Philippines could be focused on: degree of concentration of sellers and buyers; product differentiation; and conditions of entry. It can also be classified as oligopolistic (Librero 1985), meaning, a market situation in which each of a limited number of producers is strong enough to influence the market, but not strong enough to disregard the reaction of his competitors. The oligopolistic structure is due to the multiple economic functions performed by traders and the vertically integrated operations of some brokers. The role of the traders must be seen within the light of indigenous free market cost of capital, risks borne, importance of social relationships in the traditional market setting and opportunity cost of replacing these functions (Torres et al. 1987).
