Touism Impact of Tahong (perna viridis) to the province of Cavite
CHAPTER 1
The Problem and Its Setting
Introduction
Tourists all over the world travel because it is their way for them to experience relaxation, leisure, entertainment and adventure. They also travel because of other business purposes; they want to explore new things, and to gain more knowledge about different cultures and history of the other countries. But they also travel to other countries to try different varieties of food that can be seen all over the world.
According to Samonte, Giselle P.B., et. al in 1994 among the economically important bivalves, the green mussel (Perna viridis are predominantly being farmed in the Philippines. Oyster and mussel farms in Southern Luzon region have increased because of the need for supplementary sources if income brought about by the dwinding catch of small-scale fishermen.
“Tahong” is a tagalog term for Mussels (Perna viridis) which is a bivalve belonging to the family Mytilidae. It is harvested for food but is also known to harbor toxins and cause damage to submerge structures such as drainage pipes. It is a native in the Asia-pacific region but has been introduce in the Caribbean, and in the waters around Japan, North America, and South America.
Mussels are among the many invertebrates under the Phylum Mollusca. Their wide distribution in the coastal areas of the Indo-Pacific region makes them the most easily gathered seafood organisms, contributing a significant percentage to the world marine bivalve production. In the Philippines, approximately 12,000 MT of mussels were produced in 1987. This amount consisted only of farmed green mussel. Perna vindis, and not the brown mussels which are exclusively gathered from natural beds. In the wild, mussels are mostly found in the littoral zone, attached in clusters on various substrates. Being a filter-feeder of phytoplankton and detritus. It is considered the most efficient converter of nutrients and organic matter, produced by marine organisms in the aquatic
