The total popu­ lation of the Rinconada area is approximately 256,O0U. The direct beneficiaries, however, are not limited only to the 1kinconada area but are also in the Pili-Bula, Baliwag-San Vicente and Naga-Calaban-a IADs (see Map in Annex 0-1), the populations of which total an additional 600,000. Under this project, the water impounded in the three lak.s within this lAD will provide irrigation water for rice production in the downstream areas during the dry season. The flood control com­ ponent will also reduce the height and duration of flooding and reduce the extent of flood damage within the project area. Th, project involves flood control, irrigation and drainage, roads, agricultural support services and watershed protection. It is estimated that total rice production within the River Basin will increase by one-third as a direct result of this proposed project. The loan will be the fourth major U.S. financed project in the Bicol River Basin. The first project was the Libmanan-Cabusao Integrated Area Development project with a loan of $3.5 million signed' in July 1975, for essentially an irrigation and drainagc activity tying in agricultural services, land reform, and strengthening farm-level ins titutions. The second loan of $10 million will finance the cost of the Bicol Secondary and Feeder Roads Project. Three secondary subprojects and _._ portions of two others will serve this IAD area and these will open up areas of high agricultural potential in the Bicol River Basin. The third loan at $3., million (PP under preparation) will finance the development of 2,5u0 hectares in the Pili-Bula LAD. This AD pro­ ject will involve irrigation and draina,;, land development, roads, homesite development teLturial improvemeLit, agricultural and social services. The proposed Bicol Integrated Area Development III loan is a high GOP priority project and its implementation will improve irrigation and flood control significantly in the mid and lower Bicol River Basin. In addition, it will bring new areas into production and allow double cropping by small farmers in the River Basin area. 1. Priority and Relevance This project is an integrated approach to area development, The project seeks to increase and more equitably distribute income, and improve the quality of life ir. the 76 ,500-hectare project area. It is an integral component of the overall Bicol River Basin Develuiwient Program, a high priority COP effort aimed at integrated rural development. The Bicol River Basin Development Program was founded on the GOP basic premise that development efforts aimed at the rural sector and the small farmers should focus on delimited geographic areas of high growth poLential where incremental investment would yield maximum benefits in both social and econom-ic terms. The. programs have been designed to achieve a breakthrough in develop­ ment through a fzamework of integrated program components that will reverse the downward economic trend of the region and assist the River Basin's poor majority to catch up socially and economically with national averages by 1990. The Bicol River Basin Development Program is innovative in several respects. First, a comprehensive systems approach to planning and management has been adopted which integrates physical infrastzucture requirements with social and economic requirements for rural development. As a consequence, the Program is a multi­ disciplinary and multi-sectoral effort encompassing such diverse sectors as water resources, transportatit,, agri-business, crops, livestock, fisheries, agricultural credit, agrarian reform, health and nutrition. Finally, the objective of the program is concerned with real increases in per capita income among the basin population, with particular reference to lower income groups. At the outset it was recognized that further delineation of specific areas within the 312,000 hectare Bicol River Basin should be made to: (1) facilitate management and planning; (2) better rationalize priorities; and (3) allow greater participation of all sectors in the project area. Following the recommendations of the Comprehensive Water Resources study, ten sub-basin areas refurred to as Integrated Area Development Sthuecms (IADa'), were identified on the basis of their homogenous economic patterns, land use, social habits, natural resources, common problems, and potential for development. One of the identified LADs is Rinconada, the site of this proposed project. The Comprehensive Water Rescurces Study concluded that the control and utilization of the three natural lakes in the Rinconada area is an essential part of any plan for the development of the water resources of the Bicol River Basin. The effects of the proposed IAD are not confined to the Rinconada area alone but will also benefit the people living within Pili- Bula, Baliwag-San Vicente and Naga-Calabanga lADs. Fur instance, the water impounded in the three lakes will augment irrigation water availability for 7,500 hectares located outside of the The Ricnd IUshmisamcoomo uB lRie on he -" .....,o tdn of t s r e proeitaefloing pr$ttode irtonand hegl onrl salinit nothonly ti withina the a oother portions o thebasin.p­ Consequontl achievement of thisproecc .urp will bring theBicol Rve Basn DavelopmnL Program significantly closerto attaining its objectives, 2.

  • Waste Management Study in the Lake Buhi Periphery, Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines
    Water and Society V 305 WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY IN THE LAKE BUHI PERIPHERY, BUHI, CAMARINES SUR, PHILIPPINES JENNIFER M. EBOÑA Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, Philippines ABSTRACT Piggery and solid wastes monitoring was undertaken along ten (10) lakeside areas namely : Sta. Elena, Sta. Clara, San Buena, Tambo, Cabatuan, Ibayugan, Salvacion, Iraya, Ipil and Sta. Cruz of Lake Buhi in Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Key findings include: (1) a total of 331 pigpens (with an average of two heads per pigsty) proliferate the lakeshore; (2) piggery wastes are intentionally washed directly into the lake through flushing; (3) estimated volume of wastes produced is 2,019 L/day with corresponding organic loading of 0.05 mg/L which is far below the tolerable limits of 5 mg/L for class C water or lakewater; and (4) presence of municipal ordinance No. 03040 provides a framework for regulating piggery and other wastes. The findings suggest that wastes from piggery alone cannot be generalized as culprit for water pollution. This is validated by water quality monitoring quarterly report of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) which reflects that water conforms to the standard set in terms of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and other significant parameters. While it is true that nature has a self-purification process, however, if not given due attention, piggery wastes may have significant cumulative impact on the lake. However, to ensure the health of the lake and conserve the environment, the following is suggested:

    Belated Contributions On The Biology Of Fish, Fisheries And Features Of Their Ecosystems THE GROWTH AND MORTALITY OF SINARAPAN (MISTICTHTHYS LUZONENSIS) IN LAKE MANAPAO, BUHI, CAMARINES SUR PROVINCE, PHILIPPINES∗ Victor S. Soliman1 and Daniel Pauly2 1) Bicol University College of Fisheries, Tayhi, Tabaco, Albay 4511, Philippines 2) Sea Around Us, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, University of British Culumbia, Vancouver, Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT The parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth function were estimated from length-frequency data of ‘sinarapan’ (Mistichthys luzonensis Smith 1902; Family Gobiidae) collected in 1988-1989 in Lake Manapao, Philippines, one of the few natural habitats of this tiny fish, which reaches at most 2.5 cm and may be the “world's smallest commercial fish.” Various aspects of the biology of sinarapan, which is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (as “conservation-dependent”), are discussed, relative to their conservation in the face of exploitation by an uncontrolled fishery and the presence of invasive predatory species. This gains greater significance in view of the near total collapse of sinarapan stocks in Lakes Buhi and Bato where the species was once exceedingly abundant. INTRODUCTION Knowledge of the vital population parameters of fish is essential both for understanding their basic biology and for designing rational exploitation policies. The case of ‘sinarapan’ (Mistichthys luzonensis Smith 1902), the world’s “smallest commercial fish”, in Lakes Buhi and Bato, in the Bicol Region of the Philippines, is a case in point. The minute fish was extremely abundant in both lakes from the 1930s to the 1960s, but had almost completely disappeared by 1980.

  • Aquaculture Practices and Their Impact on Philippine Lakes
    Aquaculture Practices and Their Impact on Philippine Lakes Dennis B. Araullo Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Quezon Avenue, Quezon City Araullo DB. 2001. Aquaculture practices and their impact on Philippine lakes, pp. 25-28. In CB Santiago, ML Cuvin-Aralar and ZU Basiao (eds.). Conservation and Ecological Management of Philippine Lakes in Relation to Fisheries and Aquaculture. Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department, Iloilo, Philippines; Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines; and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Quezon City, Philippines. 187 pp. Introduction The rapid progress and development in the aquaculture sector during the past years has made an important contribution to the overall fish production in the Philippines. In 1996, 35.4% of the total fish production or 980,857 mt came from the aquaculture sector. Although milkfish from brackishwater ponds comprise the bulk of the produce, tilapia production from freshwater aquaculture in lakes, ponds and reservoirs is increasing annually. Fish cages and fish pens proliferate in most inland waters. The operation of such structures as livelihood for the coastal inhabitants has been recognized as a profitable venture. Many have gone into tilapia culture in ponds and small experimental cages in lakes and reservoirs in the 1980's. The success of tilapia culture in cages in the Bicol Region and Magat Dam in Isabela triggered the interest of other enterprising businessmen to expand the practice to other inland waters. However, problems of mass fish kill caused by deteriorating water quality have been reported. There is a need to strictly regulate the aquaculture practices; otherwise, more problems in the aquatic environment will be encountered.

  • 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!

  • Farmed Tilapia Production in the Philippines Is Declining: What Has Happened and What Can Be Done
    Philippine Journal of Science PERSPECTIVE 148 (2): xi-xv, June 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 21 Dec 2018 Farmed Tilapia Production in the Philippines Is Declining: What Has Happened and What Can Be Done Rafael D. Guerrero III* National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines Philippine Heritage Center, DOST Compound, Taguig City Metro Manila, Philippines Tilapia is the second most important farmed fish in the Philippines produced in ponds, cages, and pens. While from 2001 to 2011 there was an increase in the production of farmed tilapia by 240%, the production increase was only 7% from 2007 to 2016. An assessment of the farmed tilapia production for 2007–2016 was done using data of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for total annual production and annual production according to the culture system. Results showed that the average annual production rate (AAPR) was only 0.7% for the period, 4.8% for brackishwater ponds, 1.5% for freshwater pens, 1.3% for freshwater cages, and 1.1% for freshwater ponds. Brackishwater ponds throughout the country, freshwater ponds in Mindanao, and marine coastal water cages are seen to have a high potential for growth. From focus group discussions and key informant interviews with 55 tilapia farmers in Luzon and Mindanao, the major causes for the low production of farmed tilapia identified were “High Water Temperature” (68%), “Lack of Government Assistance” (58%), “Poor Breed of Tilapia” (48%), “High Cost of Production” (46%), and “Lack of Capital” (44%). Measures are recommended for addressing the major causes of low production.

This paper reports the first record of A. dorsalis in Lake Lanao, an ancient lake located in the island of Mindanao. Based on its very high abundance, and positive correlation between the total body length of females with lake dissolved nitrates, phosphates and chlorophyll a concentration, A. dorsalis has clearly established itself in the lake ecosystem and has benefitted in the steady increase in the lake’s nutrient load. Lake Lanao’s endemic Tropodiaptomus gigantoviger may be considered as another calanoid species to be displaced by A. dorsalis given that a thorough examination of plankton samples collected from Lake Lanao have not yielded individuals of T. gigantoviger. Keywords: Invasive species, Copepods, Tropical Limnology, Non-Indigenous Zooplankton INTRODUCTION lake and its surrounding watershed have been declared as a National Park and Reserve [2], and One of the ancient lakes on Earth [1], Lake Lanao a priority area for conservation and research [4].
