This study aimed to determine the environmental factors that affect the abundance
of Acetes intermedius (alamang) in the littoral zone of Rosario, Cavite. Water Quality
Monitoring and sampling were done from January to April 2025 in selected three sites: Site
1 (Barangay Muzon I), Site 2 (Muzon II), and Site 3 (Kanluran). Water samples were
collected and measured its temperature, turbidity, pH, electrical conductivity, DO, TDS,
BOD, depth of the water, nitrates, phosphates, fecal coliform, and total coliform.
Anthropogenic activities in the sampling sites were identified their contributes to the
changes in the water quality near the littoral zone. Results showed that activities were
swimming, boating, fishing, littering, and domestic waste disposal, most of the water
quality parameters met the standards set by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) under the DAO 2016-03 for Class SC. The fecal and total coliform of
water is beyond the allowable limits indicating poor water quality. Statistical analysis
revealed a moderate correlation between Acetes intermedius abundance and water quality
parameters, such as total dissolved solids (p=0.188;r=-0.408389), conductivity (p=0.097;
r=-0.50079), dissolved oxygen (p=0.088; r=-0.51338), pH (p=0.017; r=-0.67225),
biochemical oxygen demand (p=0.333; r=0.666762), nitrate concentration (p=0.484;
r=0.21428), and total fecal coliform (p=0.445; r=-0.55523).
