  • The Impacts of Introduced Freshwater Fishes in the Philippines
    6/2/2014 RAFAEL D. GUERRERO III, Ph.D. ACADEMICIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, PHILIPPINES This presentation is an output of the Research Fellowship Grant awarded by the NAST conducted in 2012-2013. 1 6/2/2014 What are introduced freshwater fishes? - Exotic, foreign, non-native or alien fishes thriving in freshwater environments (e.g., lakes, rivers, ponds) - Transported by man from one country to another or from one body of freshwater to another intentionally or accidentally What are invasive fishes? - Fishes that cause harm to the environment, people and the economy Why freshwater fishes are introduced: (1) Economic reasons - for food production through aquaculture (fish farming) or inland fisheries enhancement (e.g., tilapia, carps, gouramis) (2) Recreational purpose - for ornamental/aquarium fish (e.g., goldfish) or sport fishing (e.g., large mouth bass) (3) Mosquito control Ex. mosquito fishes, guppies 2 6/2/2014 The Impacts of Introduced Freshwater Fishes (1) Positive (Beneficial) a. Economic and social benefits - Increased fish production through aquaculture and inland fisheries enhancement FAO DIAS : (a) most introductions were for aquaculture (b) “…more positive socio- economic benefits than negative ecological impacts” b. Ecological benefits - Introduced fishes have filled available niches in the ecosystem (Ex. planktivores and omnivores) (2) Negative (Harmful) a. Ecological loss of biodiversity Ex. Introduction of white goby and eleotrid from Lake Mainit to Lake Lanao in Mindanao caused the loss of 15 endemic cyprinids. b. Economic and social losses Ex. “Knife fish” in Laguna de Bay c. Environmental degradation Ex. “Janitor fish” in Marikina River d. Genetic pollution Ex. “Uncontrolled hybridization and introgression” (Mooney and Cleland, 2001) e.

Nagoya, Japan 464-8601 http://www.gsid.nagoya-u.ac.jp/ Introduction It was in the evening of July 24, at a Hotel in Hokkaido, when I received the fax from Dr. Osada, Dean of the Graduate School of International Development (GSID), Nagoya University, in which he proposed to change the site for the ninth annual Overseas Fieldwork (OFW 2000). A travel advisory issued by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs covering Bohol province and other places in the Philippines, affected his final decision. As program director, I accepted his judgment. In January 2000, with a generous subsidy from the Foundation for Advanced Studies on International Development (FACID), members from OFW Committee and professors from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) visited several places in Laguna Province and Bohol Province to look for suitable sites for OFW 2000. After many heated discussions – both provinces were highly evaluated for their attractive sites and open-minded municipal and provincial government officials, they eventually decided on Bohol. We unfortunately gave up Bohol in July for security reasons, however, fortunately Laguna was still in our hands. Of course, the sudden change of locations from Bohol to Laguna added extra work for our colleagues from UPLB, even though Laguna is their home province.

It aims to promote sustainable development by ensuring that accounting for natural resources and the services provided by the ecosystems are mainstreamed into development planning. One of the two pilot test sites in the Philippines is the Laguna Lake Basin where lies the largest and most economically important lake in the accounts was developed which includes a land account containing land Philippines. Based on the framework of the System of Environmental and Economic Accounts (SEEA) approved by the UN Statistical Commission (UNSC), a pilot ecosystem cover and changes; a water account providing information on water quantity; an ecosystem condition account indicating water quality, changes in bathymetry and sediment loading; an ecosystem production account looking at the flow of ecosystem services like fishery production, water supply, flood retention and soil erosion regulation. This paper focuses on two ecosystem services: erosion control and floodwater retention capacity, which is also referred to as flood control service, and their significance on the ecological integrity of the lake.
