Rivers
Flow of Water
The extent and depth of the estuary influences the size
of the river. A larger river will have a larger outflow point
and a smaller river will have a smaller outflow point.

STUDENT READING ACTIVITY
Questions:
1. What are the major environmental factors affecting
the diversity and distribution of ichthyofauna in the
Tayabas river systems? Give at least one (1) factor
and discuss them.
2. How do indigenous fish species found in Tayabas
aquatic habitats function as ecologically significant
bioindicators of the river's health state in this study?
