Hernando, its multi-gear fishery system. Filipinos living around the bay considered its marine life as one of Department of Biological their livelihood. However, the biodiversity of phytoplankton are still unexplored evident by the Sciences, College of Arts dearth of published data in scientific journals. Thus, this study was undertaken. Sampling was and Sciences, Mariano conducted on the five coastal towns surrounding the bay and its freshwater tributaries are Lindog Marcos State University, and Bislig River found in Brgy.

Water samples were [email protected] collected using a 2.5-3L Plexi glass sampler, transferred in three 1L cap bottle and brought in the laboratory for phytoplankton identification. Physico-chemical parameters were also gathered in all sampling sites to correlate with the phytoplankton density. Data were subjected to statistical analyses such as two way ANOVA. Results showed that there are three phyla quantified such as Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta which are 44, 37 and 19% of the total phytoplankton. These were correlated with the physico-chemical parameters where in there was a significant positive correlation between water pH (r = 0.499; p = 0 .001), conductivity (r=0.519; p=0.001) and amount of phosphates (r = 0.446; p = 0.003) to the total cell density of all the three groups of phytoplankton identified. Key words: Bacillariophyta, Freshwater resources, Microalgae, Physico-chemical parameters, positive correlation. INTRODUCTION total species and contribute half of the total percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere. In addition, microalgae Algae have approximately about 50,000 species and are considered to be major indicators of oceanic health more, but only half of the total species are known and water quality.[2] This is shown by the green water taxonomically. Microalgae or commonly known as technique wherein phytoplankton are introduced in the phytoplankton are the base or bottom of the aquatic food ponds of reared aquatic animals for survival, growth chain that produce food and natural nutrients for many and development.[3] This technique is necessary for the vertebrates and invertebrates living in the freshwater improvement of water quality such as pH, turbidity and and marine niches.[1] These producers cover 75% of the dissolved oxygen, immunity and other health conditions, larval metamorphosis and regulation of bacterial species SCAN QR CODE TO VIEW ONLINE and other pathogenic organisms.[4] More importantly, www.ajbls.org only 15 micro algal species are involved in the current commercial production such as feed, food and other DOI : important products in various fields and industries yet 10.5530/ajbls.2020.9.29 they are thought of as the most poorly studied group of aquatic organisms.

The water samples from poorly studied as shown by dearth of reports. In fact, the bay for phytoplankton qualitative and quantitative the study on the assessment of water quality and initial analyses were gathered 30 meters away from the shoreline identification of zooplankton and phytoplankton is with a depth of 1-1.5 meters only.

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.

    13THCONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Third Regular Session 1 Introduced by Senator Ralph G. Recto EXPLANATORY NOTE The First District of Leyte coniprises the Municipalities of Alangalang, Babatngon, Palo, San Miguel, Sta. Fe, Tanaua, Tolosa and the City ofTacloban, the capital ofthe province and the acknowledged Regional Center of Region 8. The request for two additional branches is to address the growing demand for the immediate resolution of cases which presently clog the docklets and slow down the dispensation of justice in the area. The Leyteiios deserve expenditous resolutions of their legal problems. The density of cases being distributed among the five (5) courts is contributory to the slow disposition of cases and to the administration of justice in general. Hence, this bill seeks to create two (2) additional Regional Trial Court branches in the Eighth Judicial Region in Eastern Visayas, particularly in the City of Tacloban, Province of Leyte, in addition to the five (5) branches thereof in the First District ofthe aforementioned province. It is hoped that this proposal will greatly reduce the burden of the existing courts. In view thereof, the immediate passage of this bill is 13THCONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Third Regular Session ) Introduced by Senator Ralph G.
