Most of the fishing gears in municipal waters such as in Ameligan, Pontevedra, Capiz are small scale or artisanal. This study caught to identify the different species and measure the size of catch of fishermen using fish traps in Ameligan, Pontevedra, Capiz. It also aimed to determine the CPUE of the fish trap and the water parameters in the study area majority of the catch were composted of invertebrates which include Pistol Shrimp, River Swimming crab, Freshwater Prawns and Shrimps. Only one species of goby was caught. The small sizes and non commercially important fish species as well as low. CPUE slow that fishing in the area is not sustainable and also not so importable. The present situation indicates the need for alternative livelihood and conservation measures such as returning back very small or immature organisms as well as testing for the amount of chemicals from farming run of that may have contaminated the water.

This study assessed the knowledge and experience of catfish growers in the Municipality of Pontevedra, Province of Capiz. The study aims to provide the base line data of the catfish sector in the municipality of Pontevedra, in terms of number of catfish growers, total area utilized in catfish production, total volume of stocking, as well as total volume of catfish production. A questionnaire was used as the survey instrument to assess the knowledge and experience of the respondents. The questionnaire was composed of three (3) parts; Part I is the demographic profile of respondents which consists of the following: age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, monthly income, number of children, and occupation. Whereas, Part II includes the knowledge of fish farmers on African Catfish culture. Lastly, Part III is about the experiences of fish farmers on African catfish culture. Based on the findings, the following conclusion were drawn, there are 45 African Catfish grower in the municipality of Pontevedra, all of the interviewed fish farmers have had performed land preparation before they culture African catfish. Application of lime and land cultivation, application of tea seed or pesticide and growing of lablab and algae are the primary activities done during the land preparation, the total pond area intended for catfish culture in the Pontevedra, Capiz is 980 square meters, with total stocking density of 25,600 individuals while total volume of production at 580 kg.

The culture of milkfish (Chanos chanos) has been practiced for several hundred years in the Philippines and Asia. In Pontevedra, Capiz milkfish is the most popular commercial fish commodity that is cultured. However, there is lack of information about the cultural management and financial aspect of growing milkfish in the locality, thus, this study was conducted to extract information. The study used survey questionnaire to asses (1) the demographic profile of milkfish growers, (2) milkfish cultural management practices, (3) some economic aspect of milkfish culture in Pontevedra, Capiz. A total of Fifty (50) milkfish growers participated. The result of the study showed that most milkfish pond owners are 41 to 50 years old. And the most aged fish pond owner has an age of 71 to 80 years old. In terms of pond size, 78% of milkfish pond owners have a 1 to 10 Acres of pond that they are using to culture milkfish. The highest yearly income of milkfish pond owners is above 1,000,000 pesos. The culture period of milkfish pond owners is February to July with 20% of respondents. All of them cultured milkfish in the summer season. Table 5 shows that most of the milkfish pond owners practiced “Pahubas” in harvesting cultured milkfish. They also practiced “pasulang and taksay” with less percentage that milkfish owner practice. 42% of milkfish pond owners used algae to feed the milkfish. 40% choose feeds to be the food of the milkfish and 18% use both to raise their milkfish. The survival rate of the fingerlings are 71% to 80%. It can be seen that most of the milkfish owners settled 3,001-6,000 fry in their pond which gives them 3 to 4 tons of milkfish. In pond preparation, 46% of the respondents do drying. 94% of milkfish pond owner source of seed stocks is in hatchery. All of the respondents do Polyculture. In conclusion, the cultural practices of milkfish culture in Pontevedra, Capiz is is still traditional. And, the growers are contented with the minimal production they attained every run. The growers have high levels on understanding on how to culture milkfish. They are aware that the returns of their production is low as expected of the way they culture of milkfish is practiced.

The study was conducted at the experimental area of Capiz State University Pontevedra, Capiz from October 26, 2018 to January 10, 2019 to evaluate the growth and yield of eggplant as influenced by different sources of potting media. The study was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments with three replications as follows; Treatment 1 – Compost + garden soil + sand + Carbonized Rice Hull, Treatment 2 –Carabao manure + garden soil + sand + Carbonized Rice Hull, Treatment 3 – Vermi-compost + garden soil + sand + Carbonized Rice Hull, Treatment 4 – Chicken dung + garden soil + sand + Carbonized Rice Hull. Data on plant height at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAT, length of fruits, total number of harvested fruits and weight of fruits were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) for a single-factor experiment. Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) software was used to process and generate outputs. The results revealed highly significant differences in the parameters of plant height at 15 and 30 DAT and weight of fruits, while the number of fruits and total number of harvested fruits was not significantly affected in the four treatments.
