This study would be very significant to the people in Barangay Labuin, Pila, Laguna for they would know and be aware of the present status of the lake since Mirogobius lacustris is an environment indicator of water quality. This descriptive study was done for two months from May to June, 2008. This determined the Catch per unit effort of Mirogobius lacustris (Dulong). A standard 242 questionnaires were used to determine the relationship on the socio-economic status of the fisherman on the Productivity rate of Dulong. There were two kinds of commonly used fishing method: motorized pushnet or “alawas or suro”, and drag seine or “pukot or skylab”.
