Objectives The goal of the Proposed Project is to explore the technologies and protocols needed, with a view to designing the implementation (on a pilot scale), of an open access broadband farm to market ecosystem. We will undertake the design of a proof of concept system and will target a subsequent deployment (in a follow-on Phase II) in at least one pilot agricultural site, with a focus on fish farms and aquaculture. The Project Performance Period is from January 2009 to October 2009. The Project Team held a kick-off meeting in Manila last Nov 2008. Partners who participated in the meeting included TTC, NTT West, NECTEC, Ateneo de Manila University and DOTC, with guest researchers from Kyoto University. In this meeting, each of the partners gave a presentation on their enabling technologies and capabilities and a schedule for project implementation was agreed upon. The primary objective of the project, the design of an open access broadband farm to market ecosystem, was completed. With a wireless network as the underlying layer the system will be deployed in the San Pablo, Laguna Seven Lakes area of the Philippine island of Luzon, to benefit an organized community of tilapia fish farmers. A summary of project accomplishments include the following: - Completion of design of network system and platform concept - Several deployment sites were visited and a site for Phase II deployment was finalized - Consultation meetings and conferences with government institutions and experts were conducted - Research and development of new sensors for aquaculture industry monitoring systems were initiated - Initial measurements of the deployment site were consolidated and started B.

The website domain name is registered with the Team Project members and the page itself is hosted via the Google Site service. B.3. Set up a base infrastructure for a preliminary proof of concept test site on Ateneo campus that demonstrates the capabilities of the system. The following capabilities have been proofed and demonstrated at research labs in the Ateneo de Manila University campus. These results were demonstrated by project researchers during the performance period of this project. a. Battery Monitoring System. A battery State of Charge and State of Health test and monitoring protocol and system was developed. The two-pulse discharge protocol was used for state of charge measurements and was confirmed to work well with the deep cycle and solar lead acid batteries used in our tests (Figure 2a). Details of the software application and computer interface will be discussed in the Final Report. b. Fishpond Turbidity Sensor. A turbidity sensor to determine the algal population and feedstock state of a fishpond was developed and tested (Figure 2b). The Final Report – November 30, 2009 Page 5 of 22 OPEN PLATFORM FARM TO MARKET ECOSYSTEM sensor is based on low-cost webcam technologies. A simple calibration procedure was found sufficient for the range of turbidities found in most fishpond applications. This was followed up with the design and prototyping of an optical scattering sensor using a software lock-in-amplifier based approach in conjunction with a USB-based data acquisition device. The system is deployable using sensors connected to low cost netbook computers. This technique is also useful for doing rough estimates on the field, without the use of expensive microscopes and cytometers, on the density of algal populations in solution that are also typically used to supplement expensive fish stock feeds. c. Web Based Wireless Sensor and Actuator System. A wireless sensor and actuation system was proofed and demonstrated. The system is completely web- enabled: configuration, sensing-monitoring and actuation can all be performed remotely via an internet connection. d. Water level sensor. Water level sensors were designed and constructed. Such sensors are necessary to monitor lake water levels pre and post rain events. The sensors were of two types: ultrasonic reflective sensors (at 40 kHz and with a range of three meters) and capacitive sensors (immersible in water). The capacitive sensors can also work as soil moisture sensors. e. Acoustic rain sensors. Dissolved oxygen levels in the San Pablo Lakes are indirectly affected by rain events. The Project Team developed two novel approaches to rain sensing, one of which is the use of acoustic rain sensors to monitor rain intensity at particular locations (point sensors) by measuring the acoustic power (via microphones) of raindrops as they fall on a sensing surface. The group has developed devices ranging from low cost MP3 recorders to custom low cost impedance matched microphones with wireless telemetry at the ISM 430-439 MHz band. f. Wireless rain sensors. Under development for some years now, this rain sensing approach utilizes wireless signal attenuation in km-long 26 GHz, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz links to directly provide a measure of rain intensity integrated over the volume of the line of sight link, with enough coarse resolution to provide inputs to decision support systems (such as for flood forecasting). Therefore the wireless network that will be deployed through this project will not only transport data from lake sensors and content traffic but will itself (through the logging of wireless signal levels and attenuation) function as a rain sensor. g. Fish fry counting. The fish farming industry is in need of accurate protocols for counting fish fry. Bottles of fry containing up to several thousand fry per bottle typically require manual counting which is time consuming and error prone. Because of this, multiple bottle purchases are not counted but only estimated by the complete count of only one or several bottles, yet the cost of the purchase is on a per fry basis. We have developed a proposed approach that will use standard image processing techniques and diffused LED lighting that semi- automates this important procedure to address this critical need of the fish farming industry.

  • Current Status of Philippine Mollusk Museum Collections and Research, and Their Implications on Biodiversity Science and Conservation
    Philippine Journal of Science 147 (1): 123-163, March 2018 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 28 Feb 2017 Current Status of Philippine Mollusk Museum Collections and Research, and their Implications on Biodiversity Science and Conservation Dino Angelo E. Ramos2*, Gizelle A. Batomalaque1,3, and Jonathan A. Anticamara1,2 1Ecology and Taxonomy Academic Group (ETAG), Institute of Biology, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 2UP Biology Invertebrate Museum, Institute of Biology, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines 3Department of Biodiversity, Earth, and Environmental Science, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 USA Mollusks are an invaluable resource in the Philippines, but recent reviews on the status of museum collections of mollusks or research trends in the country are lacking. Such assessments can contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of natural history museums in the Philippines, as well as biodiversity management. This review showed that local museums in the Philippines have much to improve in terms of their accessibility and geographic coverage in order to effectively cater to research and conservation needs of the country. Online access to databases was lacking for local museums, making it cumbersome to retrieve collection information. The UST museum held the most species and subspecies across all museums (4899), comparable to the national museums of countries such as the USA and France. In terms of size, there were larger Philippine mollusk collections in museums abroad. Majority of mollusk specimens come from Regions 4 and 7, while the CAR and Region 12 were least sampled. Publications on Philippine mollusks are dominated by taxonomic and biodiversity research.

  • Aeromonas Veronii and Plesiomonas Shigelloides (Gammaproteobacteria) Isolated from Glossogobius Aureus (Gobiidae) in Lake Sampaloc, Laguna, Philippines
    SHORT COMMUNICATION | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology DOI 10.26757/pjsb2020a14009 Aeromonas veronii and Plesiomonas shigelloides (Gammaproteobacteria) isolated from Glossogobius aureus (Gobiidae) in Lake Sampaloc, Laguna, Philippines Janelle Laura J. Gacad1, * and Jonathan Carlo A. Briones1, 2, 3, Abstract Bacterial infections are high-risk factors in fisheries, with reports of high mortality among diseased fish stocks posing a threat to both capture and aquaculture fisheries in inland waters. Diseases-causing bacteria in fishes may lead to decreased yield and economic loss to fishers, whose livelihood primarily depends on landed catch. Lake fisheries are most affected by such disruptive changes because of limitations in water turnover aggravated by wastewater inputs. In this study, we isolated and characterized gut bacteria from landed catch of the gobiid Glossogobius aureus from Lake Sampaloc, a small but commercially important aquaculture area in Luzon. Isolated axenic gut bacteria were identified through Gram stain reaction, microscopy, API biochemical tests, and 16s rRNA gene sequencing. From these, we identified two species with known fish pathogenicity, namely Aeromonas veronii and Plesiomonas shigelloides which are known to thrive in disrupted and nutrient-rich habitats and cause visible damage to fish health. Interestingly, our samples have shown no such visible signs of the disease. It is therefore important for future researches to determine what conservation and management practices in small inland waters like lakes will limit potential environmental stressors that may trigger susceptibility of both capture and farmed fish species to infection. Ultimately, rehabilitation of inland water aquaculture areas such as Lake Sampaloc is essential not only to fish conservation but also to public health and local food security.

  • Pandin Lake Development and Management Plan
    PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN Volume 1 PANDIN LAKE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN PREFACE This Pandin Lake Development and Management Plan (DMP) is a result of collaborative endeavour among Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the City Government of San Pablo, and the various stakeholders of Pandin Lake including fishers, landowners, barangay officials, women’s group, youth, non-government organizations, academe, and other government agencies. At present, the Seven Crater Lakes of San Pablo City are swarmed with issues and problems which include but not limited to the following: conflicting interests of stakeholders such as the non-implementation of appropriate zoning plan for fish cages and fishpens; presence of informal settlers along lakes’ shoreline; decreasing lake productivity due to pollution loading; and policy and institutional disputes. In an attempt to address these multi-faceted problems, the LLDA instigated the drafting of a Framework for the Formulation of Development and Management Plan (DMP) for the Seven Crater Lakes. This initiative was undertaken in recognition of the need to mobilize all sectors and stakeholders of the Seven Crater Lakes for a sustained and concerted effort at conserving, protecting and restoring these lakes and the vital resources and amenities that they produce and provide to the people in general. The Framework for the Formulation of Development and Management Plan for the Seven Crater Lakes was approved by the LLDA Board of Directors via Board Resolution No. 464 on 02 April 2014. The main objective of the Framework is to come up with individual Development and Management Plan for each of the Seven Crater Lakes through the involvement of all the concerned stakeholder groups in the process of formulating the DMP based on the perceived problems that they actually confront and experience every day.

An increase in the quantity of fish pens inside the lake threatens its water quality condition. One parameter being monitored is microalgal biomass by measuring Chlorophyll-a concentration. This study aims to generate a chlorophyll-a concentration model for easier monitoring of the lake. In-situ water quality data were collected using chl-a data logger and water quality meter at 357 and 12 locations, respectively. Using Parrot Sequoia+ Multispectral Camera, 1496 of 2148 images were acquired and calibrated, producing 18x18cm resolution Green (G), Red(R), Red Edge (RE) and Near Infrared (NIR) reflectance images. NIR was used to mask out non-water features, and to correct sun glint. The in-situ data and the pixel values extracted were used for Simple Linear Regression Analysis. A model with 5 variables -- R/NIR, RE2, NIR2, R/NIR2, and NIR/RE2, was generated, yielding an R2 of 0.586 and RMSE of 0.958 µg/l.
