The NRCP Taal PEER Program

After the volcano’s eruption in January 2020, there was a significant decrease in the population of lake fish and invertebrates which are important sources of food and livelihood for the coastal fishing communities of Lake Taal.

The study titled, NRCP Taal PEER with two component projects namely: Project 1. Elucidating the stability of Lake Taal’s post-eruption littoral food web through the dietary habits of goby assemblages and macrobenthos community structure led by Dr. Jonathan Carlo Ampo Briones, and Project 2. Zooplanktivory in the endemic Sardinella tawilis (Herre, 1927) and its relationship with limnetic zooplankton dynamics in Lake Taal was led by Dr. Rey Donne Papa, both NRCP members. Taal PEER generally aims to evaluate the potential vulnerability of Lake Taal’s open-water fisheries by assessing the lake’s coastal and open-water food webs.
