Abstract
Green mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus 1758) is an important and inexpensive source of protein in coastal areas and successful mussel culture is highly influenced by physico-chemical parameters. With the aid of geographic information system (GIS) the study was carried out to determine the suitability of Caas Bay in the Philippines for green mussel culture. In situ physico-chemical parameters (temperature salinity dissolved oxygen and pH) were measured from 10 sampling stations on a weekly interval from May 2015 to April 2016 and analysed using weighted overlay analysis in ArcGIS 10.1 to evaluate its suitability. Spatial distributions of the different physico-chemical parameters revealed that 71.08 of Caas Bay was found to be highly suitable based on temperature 65.21 for salinity 100 for dissolved oxygen and 64.81 for pH. A total of 715.71 ha in Caas Bay can be utilised as an expansion area for growing green mussel P. viridis. It was further validated by the increasing growth of green mussel cultured in the specific location of the bay identified as highly suitable. This study revealed the importance of GIS in identifying suitable sites for expansion that can also be applied to different aquaculture commodities.
