Executive Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare Philippine Aquaculture relative to Japan Aquaculture, analyze and evaluate the gaps between the two analogies and recommend to the Philippine Aquaculture stakeholders the results and findings. The Philippine Aquaculture technology was analyzed to determine the strengths and weaknesses relative to Japanese experience based on Forecast by Analogy Method. Study shows that the disparity can be measured by using the nine [9] dimensions used by the Analogy Method of Joseph P. Martino. The study aims to compare and determine whether the two are "analogous" in the Aquaculture of Maliputo [Caranx ignobilis] relative to Japanese Aquaculture technology of the same specie but with different genus. Out of the nine [9] dimensions, the researcher used seven [7] of these, to make the comparison more comprehensive and in-depth. Based on the results, the Forecast by Analogy Method can be an effective tool to compare technologies generated by the Philippines not only relative to Japan but to other countries as well, thus we can recommend adaptive measures and innovations that could maintain market position of the Maliputo industry of Taal Lake and at the same time attain sustainable development.
