![]() ![]() aureus, while the other group formed a separate cluster and were designated as G. The specimens from Lake Lanao formed two separate groups: one group clustered with G. Ten of the 14 specimens from Taal Lake were also included in this cluster the other four specimens morphologically identified as G. aureus sequences from GenBank with a 99% bootstrap support. The neighbor-joining (NJ) tree showed that all the specimens from Laguna de Bay, Naujan, Buluan, Bato, Buhi, and Paoay lakes clustered with G. Additional sequences of Glossogobius were mined from GenBank. A total of 113 specimens were DNA barcoded using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. In this study, Glossogobius specimens were collected from nine lakes in the Philippines. Eight species of Glossogobius have been reported in the Philippines, which include the most abundant and commercially important species, G. A Meranaw is a spoken or language of Maranao people.Glossogobius is the most speciose among all the genera of the family Gobiidae. The hole became Lake Lanao and the outlet became the Agus river. In response, the angels enlisted the help of the Four Winds to gouge out an outlet. The hole that was left was filled with water and threatened to drown the rest of the world. It is said that a group of angels under the command of Gabriel removed the vast population of Mantapoli to prevent the world from tipping over. Notes: (*) – Biggest native species in Lake Lanao (**) – Species of high commercial value In cultureĪ Maranao myth describes the formation of the lake.

However, the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources stated that soil erosion from indiscriminate logging and extensive land use and farming are the problems that caused the algae contamination. Initially, poor sewage and agricultural waste management were seen as the culprit to the contamination. It is believed that overfishing, pollution and competition from introduced species caused the extinction of the remaining.In October 2006, a study from the Mindanao State University discovered massive algae contamination in Lake Lanao. An investigations in 1992 only managed to locate three of the endemic fish species, and only two (Barbodes lindog and B. It also supports a large number of waterfowl. The lake is (or was) home to 18 endemic species of cyprinid fish in the genus Barbodes (most were formerly in Puntius). Lake Lanao was proclaimed as a watershed reservation in 1992 through Presidential Proclamation 971 to ensure protection of forest cover and water yield for hydropower, irrigation and domestic use. The name Meranaw was derived from the name of the lake and it means “the people living around the lake”. The lake is a home of myths and legends of the Meranaw tribe. A hydroelectric plant installed on the Lanao Lake and Agus River system generates 70% of the electricity used by the people of Mindanao. Its only outlet is the Agus River, which flows northwest into Iligan Bay via two channels, one over the Maria Cristina Falls and the other over the Linamon Falls. The basin is shallowest towards the north and gets progressively deeper towards the south. ![]() It has a maximum depth of 122 m (400 ft), and a mean depth of 60.3 m (198 ft). The lake was formed by the tectonic-volcanic damming of a basin between two mountain ranges and the collapse of a large volcano. With a surface area of 340 km2 (130 sq mi), it is the largest lake in Mindanao, and the second largest lake in the Philippines and counted as one of the 15 ancient lakes in the world. Lake Lanao (Maranao: Ranao or Ranaw)is a large lake in the Philippines, located in Lanao del Sur province in the country’s southern island of Mindanao. ![]()
