Good Morning Maam, Sir. I am Charles Bernard U.

Quiles and I will be

discussing you today my Research proposal.

My Research entitled INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT OF Acanthaster

Planci in Bani Island, Lavezares, Northern Samar.

Going forward to the Introduction of the Study.

To start off I’m discussing about Acanthaster planci.

The crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, is a large starfish that preys

upon hard, or stony, coral polyps. The crown-of-thorns starfish receives its name
from venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the
biblical crown of thorns. It is one of the largest starfishes in the world. 

------ Ini siya na crown of thorns sayo in inga klase sin starfish nga venomous. Ini
siya na klase sin starfish nga nakawakay o nakakadamage sa mga corals.

Next, I will be discussing the objectives of the study. First thing is to

identify the Crown of thorns species found in the study areas;

------ For me to identify kailangan ko magkadto sa ako study area para mahibaruan
ko kun nano an adto na species sa ako area.

Second, determine the abundance of Crown of thorn species found in the

study sites;

------ Makukuha ko an abundance kun makadto naak saak study area ngan makikit an
ko kun nano an kadamo sa Crown of thorns species an adto didto.

Third, determine the age classes of the Crown of thorns species found in
the study area;

------ Ig identify ko kun an ako nakuha nga Crown of thorns kun juvenile ba, sub-
adult, adult.

 Juvenile – Bata pa
 Fourth, to identify the environmental parameters that defined the study
area in terms of;

Temperature

Salinity

Depth

substrate

Scope and Limitation of the Study,

------ Basaha an ada sa power point, ibig sabihin mao iton improposed month ko
kan o ka mag ka conduct.

Ngan limitado im study sa kon nano im objectives of the study.

Locale of the Study,

My study is in the municipality of Lavezares in the Island of Bani. My study

area will be in South, North, East and West side of the island.

Next, the Research Design,

------ Basaha la im Research Design

Sampling Technique,

------ Bali pag sampling mo mag huhuntay ka 50 meters, sa imo 50 meters

magkakamay ada ka 10 meters interval sa kadam o quadrat nga 10 meters by 10
meters. Sa sulod sa imo 10 by 10 meters duon ka mag hahanap sa imo species.

Data Gathering Procedure,

Snorkel and Fins – it will allow you to swim efficiently and mkakaimod ka sa ilarom.

Refractometer - is the measure of the number of grams of salts per kilogram

of seawater, which is expressed in parts per thousand. Parts per thousand can
be defined as how many parts, or grams, of salt there are per thousand parts, or
kilogram (1,000 g), of seawater. 

Meter Stick – gamit sa pag sukol ko harin a kahaladmon in mag coduct ka.
Mercury Thermometer – gamit pag measure sa temperature, an kaps on ngan
kapinton sa species.

Identification,

------ Sa identification, kahuman mop ag collect imo la pipicturan dikan ig

lulubong ta. Kay dri mo iton pag binitbiton kay in matusok ka lugod kay
venomous iton. In mag collect ma sa species syempre with extra care kna
siton.

Preservation of Specimen,

------ Dri ka mag pipreserve sini kay venomous, unless mag sugad im panel ko ig
preserve mo.

Statistical Treatment of Data, following formula will be used to determine

the abundance of Crown of thorns species in the study areas:

Abundance = Total no. of individuals of a species in a given area

Ig kocompute mo kon pera kabugos/kadamo im species na nakuha sa imo study area.
