However, a new population was identified in Lake Napalit in the same province. A better understanding of the genetic diversity of both Rufi populations using molecular methods may be beneficial to further ascertain its usefulness in rice breeding and in the development of effective conservation strategies. Population genetic analysis was conducted to estimate the degree of genetic diversity and population structure of the two Philippine Rufi populations using 98 genome-wide simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Four Oryza sativa indica and three O. sativa japonica cultivars were added for comparison. Results indicate that both Rufi populations exhibit low genetic diversity but with significant population structure and differentiation. Low genetic diversity suggests that both populations might be in a genetic bottleneck, perhaps due to observed unsustainable farming practices near their habitat and lack of awareness among locals of their importance. Also, geographical isolation that prevented gene flow between the two populations, as well as the unique climatic conditions between the two lakes might have contributed to the significant population structuring and differentiation. Thus, in situ and ex situ conservation should be observed for both Rufi populations in the Philippines.

  • The Status of Philippine Lake Studies: Scholarly Deficit in Social Science and Small-Lake Research
    Asia-Pacific Social Science Review 15 (1) 2015, pp. 78-101 The Status of Philippine Lake Studies: Scholarly Deficit in Social Science and Small-Lake Research Bing Baltazar C. Brillo University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines [email protected] This study surveys the literature on Philippine lake studies using a representative sample from the library databases of the three leading universities in the country. The paper proceeds as follows: firstly, it categorizes the existing lake studies by scholarly orientation (natural science perspective or social science perspective) and by physical size of the particular lake under study (big lake or small lake); secondly, it charts and assesses the overall trajectory of lake studies in the country. The paper concludes that Philippine lake studies are dominated by the natural science-based studies and heavily concentrated on big-lake research. This finding illustrates the gaps in the literature, specifically: one, the need to account for all the existing lakes in the country; two, the need for more social science-based studies on lakes; and three, the need for more outputs on small-lake research. The paper closes with the call to balance scholarly deficit as the way towards meaningful progress in lake studies in the country. Keywords: Philippine Lakes, Small-Lake Studies, Big-Lake Research, Lake Studies, Natural Science, Social Science and Lake INTRODUCTION day modern societies, lakes—natural or artificial reservoir —have catered to human needs, from Lakes are important!

Mahinay1, Cesar G. Demayo2* 1Graduate student, Department of Biological Sciences, Iligan Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University, Philippines 2Professor in Genetics and Entomology, Department of Biological Sciences, Iligan Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University, Philippines ABSTRACT Studying variation and phenotypic plasticity in the shell shape of Vivipara angularis Muller, a native freshwater species from lakes, has been interesting in order to understand the evolutionary processes in fragile environments. In this study, the population structures of the snails were investigated based on their shell shapes. The snails were collected in Lake Apo in Bukidnon, Lake Wood and Dasay in Zamboanga and Lake Holon, South Cotabato, Philippines. Geometric morphometric tools such as relative warps, superimposition, thin-plate splines and cluster analysis were employed. The results revealed significant variations in shell shapes among V. angularis populations from different lakes. Most variations in the shells were detected in the spire, body whorl and inner lip of the aperture which indicated that the degree of dissimilarity varied from population to population. Meanwhile, Lakes Apo, Dasay and Wood shared the most similarities. Significant differences in shell shapes were observed in lake populations, but what was significant in this study was that the variations could not be attributed to the geographic distances between the lakes but maybe to the ecological and environmental differences between the lakes resulting in the developmental modifications of the shell shapes.

Of all the known species, the giant freshwater prawn is considered the most commercially important. Except for the Philippines, culture of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, has already made substantial contributions to the local aquaculture production in Southeast Asia, i.e. in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. However, efforts are now being made to improve the aquaculture production of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in the Philippines, thus, optimal methods for the culture and propagation of this high value freshwater aquaculture species are being developed by the Philippine Government fishery agencies as well as other research
