vivipary

A type of reproductive enhancements in mangroves where seed develops into a seedling, and comes out of the fruit while still attached to the parent tree.

Section 107

Upon a summary finding of administrative liability, the offender shall be punished with fine of Three hundred thousand pesos (P300,000.00) to Five hundred thousand pesos (P500,000.00) and an additional fine of Fifteen thousand pesos (P15,000.00) per day until the violation ceases and the fines are paid, the imposition of cease and desist order, closure or suspension of the development, construction or facility, or cessation of operations, or disconnection of water supply. This penalty is stipulated in which section of RA 10654?

A type of algal reproduction where cell division no longer produces unicellular individuals but multicellular groups, a sort of embryonic colony that differs from the parent in cell size but not in cell number.

Violation of Section 105 of RA 10654

five (5) times the value of the species or Three hundred thousand pesos (P300,000.00) to Five hundred thousand pesos (P500,000.00), whichever is higher, and forfeiture and/or destruction of the species.

Palmelloid

This type of thallus organization consists of nonmotile, quite independent cells embedded within a common mucilaginous matrix.

isogamy

A type of sexual reproduction in algae where the gametes involved are both motile and indistinguishable.

vectorial intoxication

Pertains to  accumulation and transport of toxins through pelagic foodwebs by feeding interactions, leading to mortality of fish, seabirds or marine mammals.

Facultative mixotrophic algae

are primarily heterotrophic, but are capable of sustaining themselves by phototrophy when prey concentrations limit heterotrophic growth.

Stigma

Many motile algae have groups of tightly packed carotenoid lipid-globules called __________ that is involved in algal response to light.

cirques

A type of erosional landform that is created by the glaciers

Sarcopterygii

The lobe-finned & coelacanths belong to this class.

Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass)

Derived its name from the green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) that graze on large fields of this seagrass. 

Violation of Section 110 of RA 10654

the value of the species or Fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00), whichever is higher, and confiscation of the same, cancellation of permit or license shall be imposed upon the offender.

Section 110 of RA 10654

states that it shall be unlawful for any person to gather, take, sell, transfer, possess, commercially transport, export, forward or ship out any sexually mature shell fish or other aquatic species identified by the Department, or below the minimum size, or above the maximum quantities prescribed for the species

Tropholytic zone

Zone where decomposition is most active and which belongs to the aphotic zone.

Adhesion

It is the attraction between water molecules and other molecules, particularly those with polar or charged surfaces.

Cohesion

water sticks to water

Autospores

non-motile daughter cells formed by some algae through asexual reproduction; they are not specifically resting cells produced in response to unfavorable conditions.

BFAR AC No. 248, s. 2013

Size Regulation for Sea Cucumber Collection and Trade

Alkalinity

It is the capacity of water to accept hydrogen ions or acidity.

marine snow

are mostly biological debris that originates from the top layers of the ocean and drifts to the seafloor, providing a primary source of energy for animals in the deep ocean. This rain of particles decreases with depth, as the organic carbon is remineralised by the bacteria that colonise the surface of the detritus flakes.

Nitrobacter

A chemosynthetic bacterium which converts nitrite to nitrate.

Ecosystem Approach

A strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way

Abrasion, Hydraulic action, Attrition, Solution

wave erosion process.

Section 102 of RA 8550

Fishing or Taking of Rare, Threatened or Endangered Species

Violation of Section 102 of RA 8550

five times (5) times the value of the species or Five hundred thousand pesos (P500,000.00) to Five million pesos (P5,000,000.00), whichever is higher, and forfeiture of the species.
