Southwestern Japan. However, until now, there is no baseline
information on the conservation status of its species and
populations. This study gathered genetic and ecological data
and information to analyze and measure the historical
conservation status of dragonets in the Bay. Quantitative
values were converted into qualitative ranges to measures the
conservation status of dragonet species. Eight dragonet
species/populations were found to be in stable condition in the
early 1990s, namely: Callionymus planus Ochiai, 1955;
Callionymus lunatus Temminck and Schlegel, 1845;
Callionymus curvicornis Valenciennes, 1837; Callionymus
japonicus Houttuyn, 1782; Callionymus enneactis Bleeker,
1879; Synchiropus altivelis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1845);
Repomucenus virgis (Jordan and Fowler, 1903); and
Repomucenus huguenini Bleeker, 1858. Others were globally
endangered and rare (Callionymus draconis Nakabo, 1977),
locally highly vulnerable (Callionymus valenciennei
Temminck and Schlegel, 1845; Callionymus beniteguri
(Jordan and Snyder, 1900), locally vulnerable (Callionymus
formosanus Fricke, 1981; Bathycallionymus kaianus
(Günther, 1981)), and globally highly vulnerable (Callionymus
sokonumeri Kamohara, 1936). The information gained in this
study provided baseline knowledge on the historical species
risk status of dragonets in Tosa Bay, which can be used as a
basis for future studies. It also provided some scientifically-
based options for managing biodiversity in a defined spatial
management unit, which is applicable to e.g., marine protected
areas, parks, bays, islands, lakes, etc.

These changes to stocks, and subsequent impacts on fisheries production, may have considerable implications for coastal communities dependent on fisheries for food security and livelihoods.
Understanding the impacts of climate change on tropical marine fisheries is therefore an important step towards developing sustainable, climate-ready fisheries management measures. We apply an established method of spatial meta-analysis to assess species distribution modelling datasets for key species targeted by the Philippines capture fisheries. We analysed datasets under two global emissions scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) and varying degrees of fishing pressure to quantify potential climate vulnerability of the target community. We found widespread responses to climate change in pelagic species in particular, with abundances projected to decline across much of the case study area, highlighting the challenges of maintaining food security in the face of a rapidly changing climate. We argue that sustainable fisheries management in the Philippines in the face of climate change can only be achieved through management strategies that allow for the mitigation of, and adaptation to, pressures already locked into the climate system for the near term. Our analysis may support this, providing fisheries managers with the means to identify potential climate change hotspots, bright spots and refugia, thereby supporting the development of climate-ready management plans.

Descriptions of the specimens agreed with the previously reported specimens from other localities, Bottom water temperature where the species was collected ranged from 14.00-19.90 C and salinity 34.91-35.33. The diet composition of the examined specimens were similar to its confamilial species and seemed to show more preference on amphipods than polychaetes. The recent trawl survey recorded fourteen species of five genera of the Family Callionymidae in Tosa Bay and Uranouchi Inlet.

The influx of traders and fishers to the Calamianes Islands contributed to the overharvest of groupers in the area. While LRF in the southwest of the Sulu Sea started in Talakanen Island, Taytay Bay, in 1997, the “Boom and Bust” trend in fisheries threatens the populations of target valuable species due to overharvesting. Survey studies are essential for fisheries management, but only a few studies were conducted in the West Sulu Sea. This study aimed to document the LRF of the Northwest Sulu Sea and use fisheries dependent and non-fisheries dependent methods to assess the population of P. leopardus in the area. Fisheries dependent and non-fisheries dependent methods were used to determine CPUE, population size structure, abundance, and composition of grouper LRF species. The fishing grounds of LRF were in the inner portion of the bay during Northeast Monsoon, while extended to outer portions during Southwest Monsoon. Three kinds of h...
