Population Characteristic of Huluu In Limboto Lake

Huluu (Giuris margaritacea) is a kind of local fish that lives on Limboto lake, known as Gudgeon snakehead. This fish is one of the economical fish in Gorontalo. This fish by fishermen is caught with a "Bunggo" trap but also uses an electric fishing gear. The Huluu population has begun to decline, this indicated by the catch of local fishermen who rarely get it. In 2016, the Gorontalo Province Fish Quarantine Agency issued a list of fish species that were included in protected fish species, which were banned from fishing and Huluu were included in the fish list. Furthermore, The IUNC has determined that the Giuris margaritacea is included in the 2017 List of Threatened Species with the Least Concern status. Base on research that population of Huluu belongs to the category where can spawn throughout the year, but the environmental conditions of the lake do not support the sustainability of fish life.
