ABSTRACT
Arius dispar Herre, 1926 is a native fish species in Laguna de Bay. In this study, the
fecundity and gonadosomatic index (GSI) ofArius dispar were determined by a monthly
collection of samples for a year from October 2009 to September 2010. The highest GSI
in males is 0.150.05 which was obtained for the October samples, whereas in females
the highest GSI is 2.990.45 which was obtained for the July samples. Using
gravimetric method, the highest average fecundity was 1,932 234 obtained for samples
collected in July, 2010. Correlations and regressions were done on fecundity (F) and
total length (TL), standard length (SL) and ovary free body weight (OFBW). The
regression equations and their coefficients of determination (r2) were as follows: F =
3.36xTL1.764
(r2= 0.067),F = 4.80xSL
1.760(r
2= 0.067),F = 48.19xOFBW
0.623(r
2= 0.088).
The study can be better improved by increasing the number of ovary samples per month.

INTRODUCTION
Laguna de Bay is the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, with around
90,000 hectares of surface area (Palma et al. 2002). It is a very important water body
since it is a main resource for food and power (electricity). Residents use this as their
main source of livelihood by catching different kinds of fishes for food and for selling in
the market. It is the sink for small streams but it is drained by the Pasig River only .
During the rainy season, the water level in this lake rapidly increases. In contrast, the
water level subsides at a very slow rate (Aldaba 1931).This lake also contains a variety of
freshwater fishes. In the Philippines, kanduliis very abundant specifically in Laguna de
Bay. It is the main animal food for the people that are living near the lake as well as
people living in nearby provinces (Mercene 1978)
In terms of abundance, the sea catfish is the most important fish in the lake. Five

other using physical characteristics. The difference can be observed by inspecting the
palatal tooth patches. A. manillensishas two ovate patches, whereas A. disparhas two
small patches that are widely separated from each other (Vallejo 1986). The focus of this
study is onA. dispar.
The catfish Arius dispar Herre, 1926, also known as fleshysnout catfish, is
member of the Ariidae family, Order Siluriformes. Members of this family usually have
whisker like structures called barbels in their head region. These structures contain
several receptors that the catfish uses to locate food. The feeding habit of this fish may
vary from being herbivorous to carnivorous to cannibalistic. Usually, the younger
catfishes are the ones that are herbivorous; they are found usually at a shallower place in
the lake.
The breeding habits of catfishes in this lake are not well-studied. This is because
the adult catfishes stay on more benthic regions of the lake, hence actual observations of
their behavior cannot be made. In contrast, the younger catfishes stay on shallower part

number of eggs that an organism releases during spawning season (Zamarro 1992).
Fecundity studies are important to determine the number of individuals that is expected
from the generation of fishes that were collected from a given water body. Different
actions are done if ever there is a threat in the reproductive capability of the species in the
study.
Fecundity studies involve the extraction of the ovary and the counting of the eggs
that are present inside the ovary. Several studies on fecundity were already done for
several fish species including many catfishes. However, to this date, no studies have
been published about the fecundity ofA.dispar.
Gonadosomatic index (GSI) is also included alongside fecundity investigations.
This kind of study is commonly used to determine the maturation of the gonad and
spawning season of the fish (Al-Zibdah & Kanan 2009). Comparison of indices can
determine certain stresses that may have affected the growth and the reproductive
capability of the fish. Different studies show that some external factors like chemicals

economic studies in the future.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Ar ius dispar
Arius disparHerre, 1926 is commonly known as the Fleshysnout catfish. This
species is a member of Family Ariidae or the sea catfishes. It can be mostly seen in
freshwater systems like turbid inshore waters and brackish water lagoons .Also, as any
other catfish,A.disparis an excellent food fish (Kailola 1999).
Catfishes, including A.dispar, are not very well studied biologically due to the
difficulty of sampling and of conducting direct observations.The sea catfishes, locally
known as kanduli, somehow stay on the deeper parts of the water, which makes it a hard
task to make direct observations directly (Aldaba 1931).
However, there are some studies that have been done on the breeding and
spawning habits of kanduli. Sea catfishes are mouth brooders which means that the eggs

Laguna de Bay
Laguna de Bay is the largest and most important lake in Philippines (Palma et al .
2002). The lake is found southeast of Manila Bay (Delos Reyes & Martens, 1994).
Several streams empty into it but only the Pasig River drains it (Aldaba 1931). The lake
houses a variety of fishes which are now being studied for genetic and taxonomical
purposes. The lake is a very important part of the livelihood of the people living around
it. The local fishing industry is very active since there are about twenty species of fishes
that are considered as food. Some of these fishes can be caught in very large amounts, of
which the catfishes are the most abundant (Mane 1929).
The lake houses five types of catfishes (Aldaba 1931). But Vallejo (1986)
reported only two species. These catfishes almost share the same physical characteristics
which make it very hard to differentiate them when they are in a pile . The abundance of
catfishes is very remarkable, making it an important animal for the people who use this

Catfish fishery in Laguna de Bay
Owing to their abundance, catfishes play a major role in the livelihood of people
living near Laguna de Bay.Different fishery studies showed that there is a decline in the
amount of catfish being caught per year (Villadolid 1934; Palma et al. 2002). This is due
to some anthropogenic activities that may have affected the water quality. Palma et al.
(2002) investigated species composition of Laguna de Bay and the abundance of the
different agricultural fish species that is found in the lake. It showed that only 13 species
of fish were caught in the lake. The study recorded the total catch in 1995 and 1996.
The most dominant species during these years is tilapia. This study indicated the
decrease in the population of the catfishes in the lake. The study also included the
different fishing techniques and the socio-economic status of the fishermen in the lake.
Villadolid (1934) put forward different causes of the depletion of the fish species
in Laguna de Bay. The author discussed and enumerated some factors that may have
contributed in the depletion of the catfish population in the lake. These factors included
-

17/60
Another factor that was mentioned in the study is the dominance of the immature
and young kanduliin the local market (Villadolid 1934). This means that fishermen do
not let the young catfishes grow to their full size to reach sexual maturity. This results in
the depletion of the possible reproducers for the next generation of catfishes.
Large market demand for other organisms may have contributed to the decrease
of catfish population. These organisms are prawns, snails and small fishes. The demand
results in the use of exploitative methods which destroys the ecosystem in the lake. Mass
depletion of the food of the fish will also result in the decrease in the fish population.
Periodic occurrence of bad water in Laguna de Bay may have also contributed to
the catfish decline of population in the lake. This bad water incidence results in mass
death of the organisms in the lake including the commercially important fishes like the
kanduli.It is believed that this incident is caused by different external factors like the salt
water that comes from Manila Bay and the decay of algae locally known as lia. During

Fecundity
The study on fecundity is often done to determine the reproductive capability of a
certain organism. It is the potential of the female population to reproduce. Fecundity
studies are needed since there are different reproductive strategies a certain organism
employs, like spawning patterns (Marimuthu & Haniffa 2006). In addition, the study of
fecundity also investigates the index of density dependent factor that affects the size of
the population (Bhuiyan et al. 2006).
Gravimetric method is most commonly used to estimate the fecundity of fishes.
This method is based on the relationship of the weights of the ovary and the oocyte
density that is present in the weighed ovary. This technique is very useful in determining
batch fecundity, total fecundity and potential annual fecundity of the fish (Murua et al.
2003).
A usual result in fecundity studies is that the fecundity of a fish is linearly related
to its body weight or to its body length. One example is the study of Marimuthu and
-

body weight and body length, the graph also showed linear relationships. A more recent
study on fecundity was on Gadus morhuaalso known as the Atlantic cod (Thorsen et al.
2010). Aside from the usual result of having linear relationship between the fecundity
and body weight or body length, the authors also found that there is a reduction in
relative potential fecundity when the fish reaches maturity at the point of spawning.
Gonadosomatic index
To investigate and examine the gonadal maturation and spawning season,
gonadosomatic index (GSI) analysis is done (Al-Zibdah & Kanan 2009). Also,
gonadosomatic index is often used to indirectly assess the effect of the environment or
internal cues to the reproductive status of the fish (Brewer et al. 2007). Studying the GSI
also helps in the improvement or monitoring of spawning seasons in different fishing
sites. Different studies of GSI were done to different kinds of fishes. The studies often
concentrate on the spawning season of the fish and the different effects of external factors
-
8/12/2019 isda files
20/60
GSI of the gonads. Multiple regression analysis shows that these external factors only
affected the female gonads.
Another study was on Gobius niger by Louiz et al. (2009). Similar to the
preceding study, this project focused on the effects of the external environment on the
development of the gonads by analysis of GSI.The fish came from the Bizerte lagoon. It
was noted in the study that the lagoon was polluted and this pollution may have affected
to the gonadal development of the candidate fish species. The pollution had negative
effects on the gonads of the fish species.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. disparindividuals were collected from Binangonan, Tanay and Calamba areas
around the Laguna de Bay every month from October, 2009 to September, 2010. A total
of 1,698 fish were collected, 907 of which were males and 791 were females. The
identification and processing of the fishes were done in the laboratory. Standard length,
fork length, total length, and weight of each fish were recorded. The gonads were
extracted and the sex of each fish was determined. The extracted gonads were weighed
after the removal of moisture by letting the ovary dry up on top of a paper. Weight was
measured to the nearest milligram. The gonads were then stored in 10% formalin.
The fecundity was measured using gravimetric method (Kipling & Frost, 1969).
A total of 181 ovaries were opened and the eggs were teased apart for counting. Three
regions of each lobe of the ovary were obtained, the anterior, middle and posterior. The
sub-sample was placed in a petri dish where it was immersed with formalin. The eggs in
the sub-sample were separated from the tissue. After which, the eggs in the petri dish
-

After obtaining the fecundity, data were compiled and statistical tests were done
and graphs were generated. The fecundity was regressed against three independent
variables: total length (TL), standard length (SL), and ovary-free body weight (OFBW).
The equation of each regression was given by F=aVb
, where F is the fecundity, a and b
are the two model parameters, V is the independent variable in the equation (either TL,
SL, or OFBW).

RESULTS
Sex Ratio
The total number of individuals that were collected for Arius disparwas 1,698.
The total male population for the whole year of sampling was 907 while the female
population consisted of 791 individuals (see Table 1). The sex ratio was 53:47.
GSI
The GSI was computed for each month of sample (see Table 2). As seen on Fig.
1, the male GSI peaked in October 2009 while in females, it peaked in July, 2010. It can
be seen, however, that there is another peak in April, 2010. This may be due to the
multiple spawning capability ofA. dispar.
Fecundity
The fecundity per month of sampling was obtained. The mean fecundity for each

body weight (Dadzie 2008) (see Table 4 for the values of fecundity and the independent
variables). The relationship of fecundity to each independent variable is as follows:
Fecundity Total Length (Figure 3): F = 3.36xTL1.764
(r2= 0.067)
Fecundity Standard Length (Figure 4): F = 4.80xSL1.760
(r2= 0.067)
Fecundity Ovary Free Body Weight (Figure 5):
F = 48.19xOBFW0.623
(r2

The mean of the fecundity per month was also obtained and was plotted against
the independent variables (Table 5). The relationships between each variable are seen
below.

DISCUSSION
GSI
GSI analysis is usually done to determine the spawning season or reproductive
periods of the fishes that are being studied (Brewer et al. 2007). In this case, the GSI of
Arius dispar Herre, 1926 was calculated and determined for both sexes. From the data
obtained, it can be inferred that the spawning season of Arius disparis during the months
of April and July. The two peaks may be the result of the biannual development of the
eggs of Arius dispar. The development of the eggs inside the ovary has already been
studied and it was determined that develops every six months (Mane 1929). GSI studies
also focus on changes in the reproductive pattern of the fish over the years. These
changes may be due to external or environmental factors that may affect the reproductive
strategy of the fish (Kamanga et al. 2002). No related studies on GSI ofArius dispar have
been done prior to this. Comparison and correlations between previous GSI values and
present values cannot be done due to the lack of information.

13). There are cases wherein all the three stages of development of the egg are present in
one ovary. Also, the egg sizes greatly vary in one ovary. These two reasons may be the
greatest cause to the non-linearity of the relationships of egg number to the different
independent variables regressed on it.
Fecundity
There were no known studies about the fecundity of Arius dispar before this
project started. Methods and techniques that were done in this study were adapted from
different researches that were made on different fish species.
The gravimetric method was used to estimate the fecundity of A. dispar. In this
technique, several sub samples were collected in each ovary and the eggs contained in
these sub samples were counted (Kipling & Frost, 1969). The fecundity per month varied
due to the stage of sexual maturity of the fish. During April and July, GSI was at its peak
as well as the fecundity of the fish. It can be inferred that at the time of spawning, well
developed eggs are the only that go out the ovary, immature ones are left behind to stay

correlation between the two variables. The respective r2
values for each of the mean
fecundity plots greatly increased compared to the plots generated from the raw fecundity
data. The coefficients of determination (r2) were very weak to conclude a strong
correlation between fecundity and the different independent variables regressed with it.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The study met its objectives of and was successful of determining the GSI and
fecundity of Arius dispar individuals that were collected in Laguna de Bay. Using the
GSI obtained, the spawning season of the fish was also determined. Fishermen can be
informed with this observation to have a better collecting strategy and not damaging the
natural reproductive pattern of the organism. Avoiding improper fish collection and
taking to account a scientific knowledge on the growth and reproductive pattern of the
fish, better fish catch can be obtained. Also, limiting the catch to a certain amount can
also help in the regeneration of the population of the catfish in the lake. The study of
fecundity ofArius disparthat was done in the study can help in realizing the limit of the
catch. Limiting the catch can help in replenishing the amount that was lost due to the
previous catch. With this, the fishermen can still continue with their livelihood without
endangering the natural spawning pattern of the fish as well as its reproductive pattern.
The peaks of the GSI and fecundity coincided which is an indication of a correlation
between the GSI and fecundity within the whole year of sampling. Other studies on the

that can be done is on histological tests of the ovary which can characterize the different
stages of development of the eggs present in each of the sub-samples used.
