  • Diel Patterns of Species in Balagan River, Binmaley, Pangasinan
    Journal of Natural and Allied Sciences Vol. II No.1, pp. 31-37, December 2018 Diel Patterns of Species in Balagan River, Binmaley, Pangasinan Geronimo R. Rosario, Juanita Z. Rosario, Joel T. Arizo and Jerson E. Abalos Pangasinan State University-Binmaley Campus, Binmaley, Pangasinan, Philippines 2417 Abstract – This study was conducted to assess the diel pattern of species caught by surface gill net set at different time settings in Balagan River, Binmaley, Pangasinan. Setting of the gill net was done six times of the day, commencing at 9 to 10 AM, 2 to 3 PM, 5 to 6 PM, 9 to 10 PM, 2 to 3 AM and 5 to 6 AM. There were 13 species belonging to 12 families of finfishes and crustaceans present in the catch of surface gill net operated in Balagan River. Most of the species caught were present during the time of operations. The highest mean catch was observed during 2 to 3 AM operation with 465.00 g, followed by 2 to 3 PM with 343.75 g, 9 to 10 AM ( 298.50 g), 9 to 10 PM ( 223.00 g), 5 to 6 PM ( 160.50 g) and 5 to 6 AM ( 73.50 g). Despite the differences in catch, statistical analysis showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in terms of time operations. In terms of diel patterns of species caught, most of the species are either diurnal and nocturnal species. Three species namely, Chanos chanos, Oreochromis mossambicus and Elops hawaiiensis exhibited multi-activity patterns being present in all periods of the day.

A. 1&2* and Cerezo, R . B. 3 1Center for Environment and Water, Research Institute, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran 31261 Kingdom Saudi Arabia 2Pangasinan State University Graduate School, McArthur Highway, San Vicente, Urdaneta City 2428 Pangasinan, Philippines 3Pangasinan State University Binmaley Campus, San Isidro Norte, Binmaley 2417 Pangasinan, Philippines Received 20 March 2009; Revised 15 March 2010; Accepted 27 March 2010 ABSTRACT: The continuous degradation of the marine ecosystem leads to the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as a protective measure. Because of the wide array of benefits that can be gained upon its establishment, socio-economic contributions were taken into consideration using a descriptive survey method of research among the seven MPAs in Lingayen Gulf. Data revealed that members of the fisherfolk organization is dominated by married males, 30-50 years old, high school graduate, with 0-1 child, earns less than 5,000 pesos a month and fishing as the major source of livelihood. They participate “Moderately” in the management but scored “High” on linkaging/networking with other agencies. MPAs contributed “High” on social aspect despite a moderate contribution in recreation. A “Moderate” and “High” contributions were observed for economic and political aspect respectively. Among the socio-demographic profile, only the number of children is significantly correlated with the extent of participation in management but not with linking with other agencies. It is further revealed that participation is a good predictor of socio-economic contributions.
