Fig. 1. A. Philippine map showing location of Bindoy municipality (top) and the Mantalip Reef System (box) in
Negros Oriental (bottom). B. Enlarged coastal map of Tinaogan village showing the major habitats of the Mantalip
Reef System and sampling sites of fish surveys. Numbers indicate the shallower depth (in fathoms) of the lagoon
enclosed by the barrier reef compared to the main channel of the Taon Strait.
2. Determination of habitat distribution and local
current flow
- The total area of the major habitats were quantified
using maps from the NAMRIA and geo-referenced site
surveys
- While the surface current was recorded using GPS
attached to a floater with submersed 0.5m x 0.5m
tarpaulin sheet weighed down by sinkers
3. Community structure and characterization across
habitats
- Fish collected were preserved in 10% buffered
formalin and identified to at least the taxonomic family
- Sampling was conducted in mangrove areas, near-
shore seagrass beds and coral communities
4. Determination of catch rates and annual yield
- Focus Group Discussion
from all six villages.
Groups of 15-20 mostly
male of various age were
gathered through
coordination with PO of
each coastal village
- Fish Catch Monitoring from
each coastal village
recording TL, SL and
weight measurements,
fishing habitat info and
fishing duration Fig. 2. Survey sites for fish catch
monitoring.
5. Contributions of various habitats to fisheries yield
- Coral reef production was calculated using the min. value
indicated in the Resilience estimate from FishBase of
commercially important fish encountered in FVC (Frocse
and Pauly, 2011).
- Maximum sustainable yield is the annual rate of
population increase obtained and multiplied by standing
biomass obtained in FVC and projected to each location
6. Data analysis
- Family and species overlapped were identified
- Size distributions for families recorded were compared
- Fish catch composition were compared across different
villages
- CPUE was calculated as the total biomass caught per trip
per gear type
- Annual projected catch were calculated based on CPUE and
compared with the annual potential productivity of a
habitat
- Fisheries yield dependent on community was calculated by
obtaining proportion of total biomass derived from families
occurring in more than one habitat
1.Habitat extent, habitat distribution and surface current flow
- Mangrove forest made up of 68.05 ha were mostly comprised of
R. stylosa and R. apiculata, Seagrass beds covering 33.37 ha were
dominated by T. hemprichiiI, the reef area of 540 ha (72% of the
reef system) comprises fringing, patchy lagoon and barrier reef
with ave. hard coral cover of 33.46% rated as fair condition.
- During SW monsoon,
plankton accumulate due to
eddies in the lagoon
- During NE monsoon,
surface current become
stronger and unidirectional
that planktivores enters the
lagoon
2. Community structure characterization across habitats

Mangrove 25 sp.; 21 families 1.278 0.6064
Seagrass beds 46 sp.; 27 families 3.044 0.9225
Coral reefs 179 sp.; 31 families 2.730 0.8426
