    Taxonomy and distribution of holothurians in selected sites within Panabolon Island, Guimaras
    Bachoco, Raian Dennis (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-04)
    This study mainly deals with the taxonomy and distribution of sub-tidal holothurians in 2 selected sites based on the predominant substrate and vegetation characteristics, within Panabolon Island. Sampling was done during low tides in the months of March and April 2001. A total of seven species in five genera belonging to families Synaptidae, Holothuriidae and Stichopodidae were recorded from the study area. The family Holothuriidae is the most common (4 species) of the three families. Synapta maculata is the most abundant species (33.33%) followed by Holothuria atra (27.27%) and Holothuria scabra (21.21%). Highest species diversity was observed in the coralline area with strong water movement while-densities are highest in areas with seagrass beds

    Effects of tagging on Bohadschia marmorata marmorata in cages
    Alvañez, Arthur A. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1989-10)
    A three month study was conducted on the sea cucumber Bohadschia marmorata marmorata confined in (1.33 m x 1.33 m x 0.33 m) cages modified after radian’s (1987, Unpubl.) experiment using (1 m x 1 m x 1 m) cages One hundred percent tag loss and 83.53% survival rate was observed on the tagged individuals. One hundred percent survival rate attained in the control cages showed that reduced density of one individual per 0.295m2 area of caged substratum is more favorable compared to Padlan's (1987, Unpubl.) one individual per 0.06 m2 area of caged substratum. This study was conducted at Sirban Iki point, Taklong Island, Guimaras, Sub-province of Iloilo from December 1988 to January 1989.
