Fishing is one of
the major sources of income of the residents of Donsol particularly those
residing in the coastal areas. But due to some illegal activities in the
coastal waters of the municipality, fish production is not sufficient to
meet the needs of the families dependent on the fishing industry. Scarcity
of quality species of marine products has also been observed. Tilapia, prawn
and mud crabs are also cultured and cultivated in fishponds within the
municipality.
