N2  - Lake Taal is the country’s third largest lake with an area of 24,236 hectares. It is one of the deepest lakes with an average depth of 80 meters and a maximum depth of 198 meters (Castillo et al. 1975; Castillo and Gonzales 1976). Within the lake rises the Taal Volcano which erupted on January 12, 2020. The fisheries sector has been the most affected by the Taal Volcano eruption since fishing (through capture and aquaculture fisheries) is the major source of livelihood for 2,761 sustenance fisherfolk living around Lake Taal. The lake is home to the endemic freshwater sardine Sardinella tawilis, which was previously listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 2018. Tilapia (Oreochomis sp.), Maliputo (Caranx ignobilis) and other aquatic species also thrive in Lake Taal
