Mamhot, J.R.
Results of the study on fish larval composition, abundance, distribution and seasonality are presented. A total of 11,336 fish larvae were collected during the eight-month period; of which 89.58% were identified. Those identified belonged to 29 genera and 39 families. Abundance of fish larvae was found to be higher during the southwest monsoon, particularly in May. Larval distributions were widespread in all the areas surveyed with the greater concentration occurring in Ragay Gulf. Results of the study of fish larvae in relation to environmental parameters (e.g. temperatures and salinity) are also given. In most cases, no significant relation exists among the variables.
