    Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems for Food Security in a Changing Climate in Batanes, Philippines

    Journal of Developments in Sustainable Agriculture 9: 111-119 (2014) Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems for Food Security in a Changing Climate in Batanes, Philippines Lucille Elna P. de Guzman1, Oscar B. Zamora1, 2,JoanPaulineP.Talubo3* and Cesar Doroteo V. Hostallero4 1 Crop Science Cluster, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños 2 Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of the Philippines Los Baños 3 Department of Community and Environmental Resource Planning, College of Human Ecology, University of the Philippines Los Baños 4 Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, Basco, Batanes, Philippines Climate change could have significant impacts in the Philippines on large sections of the population who are poor and vulnerable, especially those who live in areas prone to coastal storms, drought and sea level rise. The sectors mostly affected by climate change are agriculture and food security because of the risk of low productivity due to increasing temperature, drought, and increasing frequency and intensity of rainfall that brings about floods and land- slides. Located in the northernmost tip of the country, the Batanes group of islands lies on the country’s typhoon belt. Because of vulnerability and isolation from the rest of the archipelago, the Ivatans have developed self-sufficient, organic and climate-resilient crop production systems. This paper presents the indigenous crop production systems that have made the Ivatans food self-sufficient despite vulnerability of their agroecosystem. A typical Ivatan farmer owns 3-7 parcels of land. Each parcel has an average size of 300-500 m2.Farmers practice a rootcrop-based multiple cropping system with specific spatial arrangements of corn (Zea mays), gabi (Colocasia esculenta), yam (Dioscorea alata) and tugui (Dioscorea esculenta), using corn stover, hardwood trees or a local reed called viyawu (Miscanthus sp.) as trellis.

Soliman1*, Antonino B. Mendoza, Jr.1 and Kosaku Yamaoka2 1 Coastal Resouces management Unit, Bicol University Tabaco Campus, (Tabaco, Albay 4511, Philippines) 2 Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University (Monobe, Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan) Abstract Lagonoy Gulf is a major fishing ground in the Philippines. It is large (3071 km2) and deep (80% of its area is 800-1200 m) where channels opening to the Pacific Ocean are entrenched. Its annual fishery production of 26,000 MT in 1994 slightly decreased to 20,000 MT in 2004. During the same 10-year period, catches of higher order, predatory fishes decreased and were replaced by herbivores and planktivores. Scombrids such as tunas and mackerels composed 51-54% of total harvest. Of the 480 fish species identified in the gulf, 131 or 27% are seaweed-associated or these fishes have utilized the seaweed habitat for juvenile settlement, refuge, breeding and feeding sites. The seaweeds occupy solely distinct beds (e.g., Sargassum) or overlap with seagrass and coral reef areas. About half of all fishes (49.6% or 238 species) are coral reef fishes. The most speciose fish genera are Chaetodon (19 spp.), Lutjanus (18 spp.), Pomacentrus (17 spp.) and Siganus (14 spp.). Among them, Siganus (Siganids or rabbitfishes) is the most speciose, commercially-important genus contributing 560 mt-yr-1 to the total fishery production, including about 60 mt siganid juvenile catch.

    An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3'

    An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3' A. Cabanbanb) E. Capulic) R. Froesec) and D. Pauly1" Abstract An annotated list of the flatfish of the Philippines was assembled, covering 108 species (vs. 74 in the entire North Atlantic), and thus highlighting this country's feature of being at the center of the world's marine biodiversity. More than 80 recent references relating to Philippine flatfish are assembled. Various biological inferences are drawn from the small sizes typical of Philippine (and tropical) flatfish, and pertinent to the "systems dynamics of flatfish". This was facilitated by the FishBase CD-ROM, which documents all data presented here, and which was used to generate the graphs supporting these biological inferences. a) For presentation at the Third International Symposium on Flatfish Ecology, 2-8 November 1996, Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, The Netherlands.

Then, the attributes of these objects can be used for various classificatory and/or interpretive schemes; for example, the table of elements in chemistry or evolutionary trees in biology. Fisheries science is no different; here the object of study is a fishery, the interaction between species and certain gears, deployed at certain times in certain places.

    The Status of Mollusk Diversity and Physical Setting of the Mangrove Zones in Catanduanes Island, Luzon, Philippines

    BIOTROPIA Vol. 17 No. 2, 2010: 62 - 76 THE STATUS OF MOLLUSK DIVERSITY AND PHYSICAL SETTING OF THE MANGROVE ZONES IN CATANDUANES ISLAND, LUZON, PHILIPPINES JIMMY T. MASAGCA1,2 ANGELICA V. MENDOZA² and ESTRELLA T. TRIBIANA² ¹Pacific Island Institute for Pedagogy, Technology, Arts & Sciences, Inc. De La Salle University-Dasmarinas,~ Philippines ²Catanduanes State Colleges, Calatagan, Virac 4800, Catanduanes, Philippines Received 06 August 2010 / Accepted 13 September 2010 ABSTRACT The status of mollusk diversity and physical setting of mangrove areas in Catanduanes island, Luzon (Philippines) are described. A total of 57 species of mollusks, consisting of 27 gastropods and 30 bivalves were recorded in the island. Registering higher values of species diversity indices (Margalef) and species richness (Menhinick) are the prosobranch, Terebralia sulcata; corbiculid bivalve, Geloina coaxans; potamidiids, Cerithidea cingulata and Cerithidea rhizophorarum; and two other species of the genus Littorina (Littorinopsis). Using the physiographic model, majority of the mangrove areas under study follow the composite river and wave-dominated setting with some few areas having the wave-dominated, tide-dominated allochthonous setting. Keywords: Mollusk diversity, mangrove areas, Philippines INTRODUCTION In recent years, there had been an increased interest on the status of mangrove areas in tropical coastal ecosystems for economic and ecologic reasons (McNeely et al. 1990, Maler 1997, Masagca 2006). These are the most biologically diverse of all marine ecosystems but are being degraded worldwide by human activities potentially leading to numerous extinctions (Rios-Jara 2009). Conservation efforts targeted toward these ecosystems could help in averting the loss of tropical biodiversity. The first step according to Hamilton and Snedaker (1984) towards the attainment of the goals of conservation and sustainable use of the mangrove ecosystem is to develop data base.
