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 />
