A new article titled “Catch Assessment of commercially important gastropods in Guang-Guang, Mati City , Davao Oriental, Philippines” authored by Dr. Edison D. Macusi and Ms. Imee S. Maynawang was recently published in Academia Biology.
The study assessed the value and uses of commercially harvested gastropods including species composition, time of gleaning, and methods used to harvest the gastropods in their habitat. Based on the assessment, the gastropods in Guang-Guang have a high exploitation level of gleaning and need policy interventions for their protection.
