General: To determine the physico-chemical and
biological indicators in aquatic organisms
(phytoplankton, zooplankton) that are essential for
input into the prediction model for fish kills in Taal
Lake based on primary, secondary and anecdotal
data. Specific: (1) determine the significant and
important changes in structure and function in
phytoplankton communities and their interactions
associated with the approach and the aftermath of a
fish kill; (2) determine the correlation between and
among the changes noted, and in relation with the
corresponding observations in the zooplankton and
cultured fish; (3) determine the data transformations
necessary for inputting the phytoplankton in the
overall model for prediction of fish kill integrate
primary, secondary and anecdotal sources of
limnological information regarding the physical,
chemical, biological dynamics relevant to the
occurrence of fish kills in Taal Lake; (4) determine

Towards Enhanced Broodstock
Quality of the Sandfish, Holothuria

The improvement of
sandfish broodstock
quality for selected
performance traits can
further contribute to
enhanced sandfish
hatchery production.
Genomic methods, in
particular, are a useful
approach to move
sandfish culture forward
towards enhanced
production. Genomic
approaches can enable
the identification of
putative genes
controlling desired
broodstock
characteristics (growth,
body wall thickness) and
the development of
molecular markers
associated with these
traits. These are
fundamental steps
towards the

performance traits such
as faster growth and

bottleneck in the

is the lack of seed stock

1. To identify commercially available shrimp
formulated diets for feeding the mud crab larvae. 2.
To reduce the use of antibiotics and/or find
alternative to antibiotics for mud crab seed
production. 3. To determine the volume of wild

collection sites and pond area used for crab farming.
4. To accelerate the dissemination of science-based
mud crab hatchery technology to industry
stakeholders.

growth of a number of
crops. The BioGroe
technology has great
potential to increase
yields with lower cost of

result in increased net
benefit per area planted
to the crop and give
higher income of
