The workshop brought together Philippine researchers who, with partial financial support from PCARRD and ICLARM during 1982-1983, had conducted an economic analysis of tilapia operations. This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop; which include 18 papers presented, working group reports, discussions and recommendations of the workshop. The workshop was held at the Continuing Education Center on the campus of the University of the Philippines, Los Bafios. Opening remarks for the workshop were given by Dr. Ramon V. Valmayor, Executive Director of PCARRD. On behalf of PCARRD and ICLARM we would like to express our thanks to all of those individuals who contributed to the success of the workshop. These include not only the re­ searchers and other participants, but also those who assisted behind the scene with workshop logistics, rapporteur notes and other administrative matters. As a group we are especially thankful to all of those private tilapia farmers, government officials and middlewomen who so kindly provided much of the information upon which most of the research papers were based. We would also like to acknowledge with thanks the financial support of Planters Products, Inc. and San Miguel Corporation towards publication costs of these proceedings. It is our hope that this workshop proceedings will contribute to an understanding of the Philippine tilapia industry so that its current growth and economic vitality can be maintained and nurtured to the ultimate benefit of producers and consumers alike.

Report No. 3 – Population, Land Area, and Population Density is among the series of publications that present the results of the POPCEN 2015. This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years. The population density shows the relationship of the population to the size of land where the population resides.

  • Waste Management Study in the Lake Buhi Periphery, Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines
    Water and Society V 305 WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY IN THE LAKE BUHI PERIPHERY, BUHI, CAMARINES SUR, PHILIPPINES JENNIFER M. EBOÑA Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, Philippines ABSTRACT Piggery and solid wastes monitoring was undertaken along ten (10) lakeside areas namely : Sta. Elena, Sta. Clara, San Buena, Tambo, Cabatuan, Ibayugan, Salvacion, Iraya, Ipil and Sta. Cruz of Lake Buhi in Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Key findings include: (1) a total of 331 pigpens (with an average of two heads per pigsty) proliferate the lakeshore; (2) piggery wastes are intentionally washed directly into the lake through flushing; (3) estimated volume of wastes produced is 2,019 L/day with corresponding organic loading of 0.05 mg/L which is far below the tolerable limits of 5 mg/L for class C water or lakewater; and (4) presence of municipal ordinance No. 03040 provides a framework for regulating piggery and other wastes. The findings suggest that wastes from piggery alone cannot be generalized as culprit for water pollution. This is validated by water quality monitoring quarterly report of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) which reflects that water conforms to the standard set in terms of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and other significant parameters. While it is true that nature has a self-purification process, however, if not given due attention, piggery wastes may have significant cumulative impact on the lake. However, to ensure the health of the lake and conserve the environment, the following is suggested:

  • Dire Rights Situation As Martial Law Continues in Southern Philippines
    International fact-finding mission: Dire rights situation as Martial Law continues in southern Philippines 26 February 2018 (Quezon City, Philippines) – Under continuing Martial Law in the Mindanao island, in southern Philippines, farmers and indigenous peoples have experienced heightened cases of false charges, harassment, and even torture and killings. This is according to personal accounts of farmers, indigenous peoples and delegates of a recent International Solidarity Mission (ISM) who gathered at a forum today. Displacement, torture, killings Janry Mensis, a farmer from Compostela Valley in the Davao region, recounted how he and a minor “Jerry” was beaten, tortured and barely escaped murder by soldiers under the 71st Infantry “Kaibigan” Battalion (IB) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The report of the fact-finding mission also found a grim situation in Compostela Valley: “Several families from Talaingod and other communities in Compostela Valley are evacuating because of hamletting and threats.” “There are around 60 families of Lumads who are now in the Sanctuary area, and still counting. This is due to the massive militarization happening in their ancestral lands prohibiting them to go to their farms,” the report of the ISM added. The report also described how the AFP, with foreign and local big business, “have instigated a brutal war against indigenous people’s communities in the SocSKSargends region, which resulted in the massacre of eight Lumad leaders in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.” Adina Ambag, sister of one of the victims of the December 2017 Lake Sebu massacre,i decried the inaction of the local government and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) during last Monday’s forum.

Day, Director United States Department of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 40 cents ABSTRACT One of the serious handicaps in the administration and manage­ ment of the fisheries of the Philippines has been the lack of standardized nomenclature for fishing gear. This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

Baludo1*, Rey Donne S. Papa3, and Francis S. Magbanua2 1Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology; 2Institute of Biology University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 3Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science; and Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Graduate School University of Santo Tomas, Manila 1015 Philippines Relatively limited information exists on Lake Wood’s limnology and ecology, an ancestral lake of the Subanens. Here, we provide a limnological characterization of the lake – exploring its physical, chemical, and biological features. The data on lake morphometry were gathered using an echosounder; lower depth water samples were collected using a Niskin water sampler for physicochemical analyses while surface water samples were collected at five sampling sites for phosphate (PO4) analysis; and zooplankton samples were collected at several depths through vertical towing in March–April 2019. Lake Wood, located at 320 m above sea level, has an extensive surface area covering 7.38 km2 with a maximum depth of 85 m. Lake water comes from rainfall, small rivers, and groundwater and empties into the Dumanquilas Bay via its only outlet – the Biswangan River. Land use of the lake is predominantly cultivated land. Moreover, based on the trophic state index (TSI), the lake’s current trophic status is eutrophic. During the study periods, thermocline and oxycline formed at 15 m below the surface of the lake.

  • Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Body Shape Variation Among And
    Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 5(1): 44-51, 2010 © 2010, INSInet Publication Body Shape Variation Between Two Populations of the White Goby, Glossogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan) 1Sherwin S. Nacua, 2Emma L. Dorado, 3Mark Anthony J. Torres and 3Cesar G. Demayo 1Biology Department, MSU, Marawi City; 2Notre Dame of Marbel University, Koronadal City, South Cotabato; 3Department of Biological Sciences, MSU-IIT, Iligan City, Philippines Abstract: The major objective of this study is to determine the body shape variation among and between the two populations (Lake Lanao and Lake Buluan) of Glosssogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan), using landmark-based geometric morphometrics. A total of 33 specimens from Lake Lanao (17 males, 16 females) and 31 from Lake Buluan (16 females, 15 males) were examined. Nineteen landmark points were digitized on the specimens from which relative warp scores were derived. Discriminant function analysis showed that both populations exhibit sexual dimorphism. Body shape between the two populations also shows significant difference, with Lake Lanao gobies having bigger head aspect ratio (low) and mouth with a narrower body and more elongated dorsal and anal fins. These characteristics are suggestive of a more efficient carnivore with a more active habit or a fast flowing environment for Lake Lanao gobies. Key words: landmark-based geometric morphometrics, Procrustees distance, relative warp analysis INTRODUCTION freshwater fishes, among them the White Goby, Glossogobius giuris (Hamilton and Buchanan). Exposed to different environmental conditions, The White Goby is a freshwater fish that lives in fishes, like all organisms are capable of making freshwater but spawns in seawater. It is widely adaptations to enable them to survive.
