National Assessment of Coral Reef Project 4. Watershed and Ocean Parameters Integrity of the Management of coral reefs entails determining the boundaries of UPD Local government environment 1-Jul-14 30-Jun-17 ON-GOING 14,201,760.00 1,945,252.00 Environments (NACRE) for Assessment of Coral Reef environment the management unit.

Habitat or community adaptation and population connectivity is a function of larval dispersal distances mitigation and this can range from a few kilometers to a few tens of Manuscript for publication kilometers. In some cases and for some species, this may even extend to a few hundreds of kilometers.

Sedimentation is one of the leading causes of habitat degradation in Philippine coral reefs, particularly the fringing reefs of the larger islands with sizable watersheds. Poor soil management in agricultural lands and mining areas have led to increased sediment load to the coastal waters. Both sedimentation and population connectivity become external factors if management of the reef are limited to local scales. The objective of this project is to determine connectivity patterns and spatial scales and identifying potential erosion hotspots within the watershed for each of the study sites to incorporate these external issues when formulating management plans for the country’s coral reefs.

However, there are still significant gaps in knowledge and data about many coral reef processes. There is great uncertainty involved in evaluating reef health or predicting impacts of management interventions.

A Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) is one of the few tools that can integrate both quantitative data and qualitative information (e.g., from experts’ perception) to allow to look at systems more holistically than piecemeal. Developing a BBN model will help synthesize current knowledge of coral reefs in the Philippines which can be used to identify stressors that need to be prioritized and to evaluate potential impacts of management scenarios. A BBN model can also add value to existing monitoring programs by synthesizing the different parameters being collected (e.g., coral cover, fish biomass and composition, invertebrates, environmental parameters, etc.) to come up with a better and more complete picture of reef condition.

However, among the three components of the culture phases, i.e., broodstock, hatchery and grow-out, the hatchery aspect is the most technology-challenged. Survival of trocophore to veliger stage is 30% and settlement rate is 1%. The general objective therefore, is how to increase these numbers to more profitable levels to excite the interest of the private sector to come in and invest and thus develop a strong abalone industry in the country. In order to achieve this objective, studies will be conducted to understand the biology of the free-swimming trocophore larvae up to the time they metamorphose to benthic post-larvae. Studies will also include the dynamics of the algal community viz a viz, the bacterial diversity in the biofilms which serve as settlement inducers and food of the young abalone. At the end of the three-year program, the survival from trocophore to veliger stage will be increased from 30% to 50%.

However, genetic factors which propagules incorporating genetic data have a bearing on fitness and adaptive potential of coral reefs receive are generally not considered in the design and monitoring of coral restoration projects. Ultimately, developing resilience-based guidelines for reef restoration and management – such as the identification of resilient biological units (species, populations, sexually-derived propagules), and delineating spatial limits in outplantation strategies to manage and preserve genetic diversity and adaptive potential of populations – are necessary to focus reef restoration initiatives to achieve greater success rates. Generate and analyze genetic data for sexually- produced coral propagules and natural populations to be used towards development of genetic guidelines for coral restoration.

Viable nursery rearing method for the blue swimming attempts in producing juveniles were done in outdoor tanks crab (Maheswarudu et al., 2008), but very low survival was obtained. Cannibalism was pointed out to be the main cause of mortality. Crab juveniles molt frequently and the newly molted crab are soft hence they are more vulnerable to cannibalism in a communal system. Several factors have been found to affect the degree of cannibalism such as availability of refuge (Luppi et al, 2001; Moksnes et al., 1998), type of shelter or substrate (Day and Lawton, 1998, Pottle and Elner, 1982; Ut et al., 2007), stocking density (Rodriguez et al., 2007; Ut et al., 2007), intactness of body (Karplus et al., 1989) or molt stage (Lipcius and Herrnkind, 1982). Further investigation of these factors will be useful in reducing cannibalism in this species. Methods to culture early crab instar will be developed to come up with a viable nursery technology for the blue swimming crab. This will serve as the link between larval rearing and growout culture.

This project aims to start building the genomic resistance and expressed sequence tags database for Molecular Markers empowerment resources of abaca. The project will use various molecular abaca of the poor and biology and bioinformatics tools. The main activities of the vulnerable project will involve the construction of expressed sequence tags libraries. The development of molecular techniques has already advanced to the stage where expressed sequence tags and even full length complementary DNAs can be obtained in more efficient and practical ways. Furthermore, there are service facilities outside the Philippines where we can send lyophilized plant materials such as Invitrogen, Macrogen and Illumina. For example, the expressed sequence tags library construction and sequencing can be done by these service facilities. It is more practical to send samples and have the libraries prepared by these facilities for a fee. The in silico analysis of the generated sequences will be done and the necessary database will be constructed. Sequences will be submitted to GenBank. Genes that are involved in the expression of abaca traits like fiber quality and ABTV resistance will be identified. Preliminary functional analysis using techniques such as real time PCR and semi-quantitative PCR will be conducted. Specifically, it aims to: 1. To prepare various tissue types at different developmental stages with and without virus infection by lyophilization for expressed sequence tags library construction 2. To sequence the expressed sequence tags from all the constructed libraries 3. To evaluate and characterize the different expressed sequence tags libraries derived from at least 16 tissue types-developmental stages- with or without virus infection using in silico bioinformatics tools 4. To construct expressed sequence tags database 5.

Restocking of hatchery reared juveniles appears to be the only viable option to increase population in natural habitats (Friedman et al. 2010) as the low dispersal ability of many sea cucumber limits natural recovery from heavy overfishing. Since sea cucumbers are also broadcast spawners mates need to be close to each other to ensure successful reproduction. Restocking also presents a promising potential for well-organised communities to create sustainable, supplemental livelihoods through stock enhancement initiatives (Mills et al. 2012) that would help alleviation poverty among coastal communities.
