Reef fish biomass<br />

per MPA (relative<br />

to Baseline)<br />

Ton/km2 w/in MPA<br />

Yes, this is the<br />

standard indicator<br />

for fisheries<br />

monitoring.<br />

Yes, this is the<br />

standard indicator<br />

for fisheries<br />

monitoring.<br />

collected at the start or<br />

baseline, midterm and<br />

at EOP. Sampling<br />

strategy is intensive<br />

covering 3-month of<br />

CPUE in at least 3<br />

LGUs per MKBA<br />

covering at least 1<br />

barangay per LGU.<br />

Yes. In addition, it<br />

covers at least 3 MPAs<br />

per MKBA with 1 MPA<br />

per municipality except<br />

for the South Negros<br />

MKBA. There are no<br />

other MPAs in the area<br />

because of the<br />

topography (very steep)<br />

of the coast. Most<br />

MPAs were designed to<br />

protect/cover coral reef<br />

areas.<br />

Other indicators not reported by Ecofish for this result area: None.<br />

baseline and midterm<br />

reports may provide a<br />

trend on the<br />

effectiveness of the<br />

project intervention<br />

resulting an increase in<br />

fish provision.<br />

Yes. The data are<br />

summarized in a standard<br />

manner with an<br />

appropriate unit, the fish<br />

biomass and total<br />

abundance including the<br />

benthic cover. Presence<br />

of enough replicates (5<br />

transects inside and<br />

outside the MPA). This<br />

particular indicator (fish<br />

biomass) will show the<br />

trend of an increase or<br />

decrease in fish standing<br />

stocks. However, the<br />

positive increase at the<br />

minimum can be<br />

significantly noticed over<br />

a 5-year period.<br />

Such analyses will be<br />

done at the targetspecies<br />

level<br />

(economically<br />

important species). For<br />

the fish biomass, it is<br />

recommended that<br />

slender fishes such as<br />

from the Family<br />

Aulotomidae be<br />

excluded in the<br />

computation of fish<br />

biomass. A slight<br />

increase of length for<br />

this species<br />

corresponded to an<br />

exponential increase in<br />

weight.<br />

municipal or inter-<br />

LGU levels.<br />

The fish information<br />

(e.g. fish stocks) in<br />

MPAs however can<br />

drastically change due<br />

to natural calamities<br />

such as storms and<br />

earthquakes. These<br />

two events did happen<br />

in Calamianes and<br />

Danajon Reef MKBAs,<br />

respectively.<br />

Moreover, for fish<br />

census it is highly<br />

recommended that all<br />

those involved in<br />

collecting data be<br />

subjected to<br />

standardization prior<br />

to conduct of baseline<br />

assessment. A less<br />

experienced person<br />

on fish census either<br />

tends to under or<br />

overestimate fish sizes.<br />

Hence, the outcome<br />

of fish biomass<br />

computation is<br />

questionable.<br />
