  • Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines
    Socio-Economics, Institutional Support, and Intervention Programs Toward Sustainable Fisheries Management in Lake Mainit, Philippines Asuncion B. De Guzman, Alita E. Openiano, Marilou M. Ologuin and Jeanette J. Samson Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is an important natural resource shared by two provinces in northern Mindanao, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte, notable for being the deepest and the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. This wetland ecosystem supports a thriving freshwater fishery and the livelihood of more than 4,000 fishers. At least 19 types of traditional and ingenious modifications of fishing gears are used. On the average Lake Mainit fishers earn an estimated monthly income of Php4,340 which falls below the poverty threshold for an average family in rural Philippines. Part of a comprehensive resource assessment project in Lake Mainit is a socio- economic profiling and appraisal of the numerous intervention programs in fisheries management and livelihood development introduced into the lakeshore communities in an attempt to improve the ecological and socio-economic situation around the lake. The results of this assessment will provide the scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Mainit that shall, in turn, be integrated into the Lake Mainit Development Alliance (LMDA) development agenda to help restore Lake Mainit fisheries to sustainable levels by addressing issues on declining water quality, regulation of fishing effort, and decreasing fisher income. Keywords: Lake Mainit, socio-economics, management issues, intervention programs, LMDA. INTRODUCTION Lake Mainit is an ecologically important resource within two provincial jurisdictions in the Caraga Region, namely, Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, bordered by eight municipalities that comprise the Lake Mainit Watershed (Fig.

    Gastropod fauna in key habitats surrounding Lake Mainit, Philippines with notes on snail-associated diseases 1Joycelyn C. Jumawan, 1Leonardo A. Estaño, 1Gemma H. Siega, 1Kariza A. Maghinay, 2Meriam M. Santillan, 1Jess H. Jumawan 1 Biology Department College of Arts and Sciences, Caraga State University; 2 College of Engineering and Information Technology, Caraga State University, Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines. Corresponding author: J. C. Jumawan, [email protected] Abstract. Lake Mainit is the deepest lake in the Philippines. Nonetheless, cases of schistosomiasis were also reported in several communities surrounding the lake adding to concern to the tourism in the area. This gastropod survey was conducted in ten barangays surrounding Lake Mainit to provide an inventory of gastropods and their possible preference to habitats surrounding the lake. Collection of samples was done monthly from February to November 2014. A total of fifteen gastropod species from nine families were identified, with four species endemic to the country. Of these species, only one, Vivipara angularis, was utilized for food, and is collected abundantly in the lake. Other species were either considered agricultural pests (Ampullaria luzonica, Pomacea luzonica) while others were known vectors of zoonotic diseases such as Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi, Melanoides tuberculata, and Radix rubiginosa. Notably, known vectors of schistosomiasis were found in rice fields and creeks but not in the lakeshore study stations. This study is the first documentation of gastropods in five habitats surrounding Lake Mainit and will be helpful as baseline data for researches on snail-associated zoonotic diseases in this area. Key Words: schistosomiasis, zoonosis, diversity, Caraga region. Introduction. Lake Mainit is the fourth largest lake in the Philippines, and the deepest in the country (LMDA 2005).

  • Aquatic Biodiversity of Lake Mainit, Southern Philippines
    Aquatic Biodiversity of Lake Mainit, Southern Philippines Wilfredo H. Uy1, Asuncion B. De Guzman1, 2 2 Rodrigo E. Acuña and Rey L. Roa 1College of Science and Environment 2School of Marine Fisheries and technology Mindanao State University at Naawan, 9023 Naawan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Mainit is the deepest and fourth largest lake in the Philippines. The productivity and biodiversity of this oligotrophic lake have become vulnerable to various environmental and human pressures resulting from rapid economic development in the region. An inventory of fish, invertebrates and aquatic vegetation occurring within Lake Mainit and its single outlet Kalinawan river was conducted to generate a comprehensive profile and status of the lake’s biodiversity that will be useful in updating the Lake Mainit Development Plan towards the sustainable use of the lake resources. A total of 41 species of fish, 5 crustaceans, 8 mollusks and 14 species of aquatic plants were identified in the lake. The most popular fish resources are the gobies pijanga (Glossogobius giuris) and bugwan (Hypseleotris agilis) although their populations have declined through the years. Several exotic species of fish have been introduced in the lake, such as tilapia, carp and catfish. The most abundant crustaceans are two species of freshwater shrimp: the tiny shrimp Caridina mindanao locally known as isik and the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium lanceifrons locally known as ulang. The most abundant freshwater mollusks found in Lake Mainit are the bivalve Corbicula sp. locally known as bibe, and the snails Viviparia angularis (ige) and the golden apple snail Pomacea canaliculata (kuhol).

Jumawan Natural Science Department, Caraga State University, Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines Article published on September 28, 2016 Key words: Bioaccumulation, Contamination, Heavy metal concentration Abstract The study assessed the mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) levels in sediments and the muscles of mud clam (Polymesoda erosa) in selected mangrove wetland stations of Butuan Bay, Philippines. Hg, Pb, Ni, Cd and Cr in sediments and Pb, Ni, Cd and Cr in the muscles of Polymesoda erosa were analysed using Atomic Emission Spectrometer Method adopted from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Hg in the muscles of P. erosa was analysed using Cold Vapor Atomic Spectrometry. Results revealed that the mean concentrations of the different heavy metals from sediments across three sampling stations in Pagatpatan is in the order of Hg> Cr> Ni>Pb> Cd, with Hg, Cr, and Ni exceeding their respective allowable limits. Similarly, heavy metals in Camagong is in the order of Ni> Cr>Pb> Cd>Hg, with Ni and Cr exceeding their respective allowable limits. For the bivalve muscles, the mean concentrations of the different heavy metals across three sampling stations in Pagatpatan is in the order of Cr> Ni>Hg>Pb> Cd, with Pb exceeding the respective allowable limits.
