Lamarca2 1BFAR-National Marine Fisheries Development Center, Sangley Point, Cavite City, Philippines 2BFAR-Fishing Technology Division, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines ABSTRACT Round scad exploration by purse seine in the waters of western Philippines was conducted from April 22 to May 7, 1998 for a period of five (5) fishing days with a total catch of 7.3 tons and an average of 1.5 tons per setting. Dominant species caught were Decapterus spp. having 70.09% of the total catch, followed by Selar spp. at 12.66% and Rastrelliger spp. 10.70%. Among the Decapterus spp. caught, D. macrosoma attained the highest total catch composition by species having 68.81% followed by D. kurroides and D.russelli with 0.31% and 1.14% respectively. The round scad fishery stock was composed mainly of juvenile fish (less than 13 cm) and Age group II (13 cm to 14 cm). Few large round scad at Age group IV and V (20 cm to 28 cm) stayed at the fishery.

  • Vulnerability Assessment of Olango Island to Predicted Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
    Vulnerability assessment of Olango Island to predicted climate change and sea level rise Amuerfino Mapalo Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Region 7 Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines, 6014 ([email protected]) Executive summary The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) funded a study assessing the vulnerability of Olango Island, in the Central Philippines, to predicted climate change and sea level rise. The study was coordinated by the Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (eriss), in Australia, and Wetlands International–Oceania, with the major local collaborator being the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The study’s major objectives were to raise awareness of the issue of climate change and sea level rise in the Asia-Pacific region, to provide advice and training to national and local agencies on procedures for Vulnerability Assessment, and specifically, to obtain a preliminary understanding of the potential impacts of climate change and sea level rise on the biological, physical and socio-economic attributes of Olango Island. Olango Island was chosen as a study site for several reasons: It is a small, coral reef island (~6 × 3 km) with low topographical relief and a maximum elevation above sea level of only 9 m; it sustains a population of over 20 000 and is already under pressure from anthropogenic activities including fishing, groundwater extraction and mangrove harvesting; it is a major wetland site for shorebirds, being nominated for the East Asian–Australasian Shorebird Reserve Network and listed as a wetland of international importance by the Ramsar Wetland Convention. Due to its importance as a flyway stopover site, a 920 ha wildlife sanctuary was established in the south of the island.

While no specific terms of reference were provided by the Ministry, those used for the preparation of Profiles in other FFA member countries were followed: 1. With assistance from national fisheries staff, examine all closed and current files pertaining to fisheries resource matters in Cook Islands; 2. Assess, collate and compile all written matter, data, etc, which provides information relating to resource abundance, distribution, exploitation, etc, in Cook Islands; 3. Review existing legislation controlling the exploitation of living fisheries and marine resources in Cook Islands and advise on appropriate regulations for controlling the existing fisheries for those resources currently not protected; 4. Based on the information examined, produce a comprehensive set of resource profiles for the fisheries and marine resources of Cook Islands. The report was prepared before, during and after a two week visit of FFA's Research Coordinator, Mr. Andrew Richards, to Cook Islands in April 1993. This report provides an overview of the fisheries and marine resources identified as being of importance to the commercial, artisanal and subsistence fisheries sectors in Cook Islands. The main purpose is to provide the basic information required to assess the current levels of exploitation, and to identify the research and management requirements for future developments.

Dickson, Rafael V. Ramiscal and Benigno Magno Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Quezon Avenue, Arcadia Bldg., Quezon City, Philippines 1103 ABSTRACT The diamondback squid (Tysanoteuthis rhombus) is a potential resource popularized mainly for the export market in the Central Philippines and the positive results from other experimental activities. Exploratory fishing for the species using the giant squid jig was conducted on board MV SEAFDEC and MV Maya-Maya in the South China Sea (Western Philippines) to determine its occurrence, abundance and distribution in these areas. The gear employed is basically used in small boats hence, its operation on bigger vessels was very difficult. The result was discouraging with only one diamondback squid caught out of the 175 jigs set. The description and fishing operations of the gear are presented with comparison from other research and fishing results conducted in Camotes Sea, Calauag Bay, and Ormoc Bay which are considered potential areas. Keywords: Tysanoteuthis rhombus, diamond-back squid, South China Sea, Exploratory survey. Introduction There are four (4) genera and seven (7) species of the squid species in the country with the Loligo edulis, Loligo duvaucelli and Sepioteuthis lessoniana considered the most common.

  • Species Diversity of Seagrasses in Camotes Islands, Central Philippines
    Sub Theme : Biodiversity and Conservation Oral Presentation ISBN : 978-602-8915-93-9 SPECIES DIVERSITY OF SEAGRASSES IN CAMOTES ISLANDS, CENTRAL PHILIPPINES Serapion N. Tanduyan, Berenice T. Andriano and Ricardo B. Gonzaga Cebu Technological University, San Francisco, Cebu, Philippines Email: [email protected]/ fax no. 0324970318 ABSTRACT Seagrasses of Camotes Islands were studied to determine its species diversity. A transect-quadrat method was used where 3 transects were laid in each station taking into account its species in the four municipalities of Camotes Islands which are San Francisco, Poro, Tudela and Pilar. Results show that there were 11 species of seagrasses found in the four municipalities of Camotes Islands which are Halophila decipiens, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata , Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis, Halophila minor, Halophila ovalis, Halophila ovata, Enhalus acoroides and Syringodium isoetifolium Halophila decipiens and Thalassia hemprichii are the distinct species of seagrass found in the municipalities of Poro and San Francisco, respectively while there are 9 species that are common in all the municipalities that include: Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata , Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis, Halophila minor, Halophila ovalis, Halophila ovata, Enhalus acoroides and Syringodium isoetifolium. Keywords: Seagrass, Species Diversity, Camotes Islands, Transect-quadrat method INTRODUCTION Seagrass is one diverse ecosystem where it supports diverse flora and fauna in marine waters. It is the only group of flowering plants or angiosperms that inhabit the coastal and marine environment of the temperate and tropical region. (Phang, 2000). Of the three marine ecosystems in coastal areas, it occupied the mid part of it. It serves as the feeding, breeding and nursery grounds of marine organisms of commercial importance.
