INTRODUCTION

Fishing is an important industry in the Philippines. The average annual fish catch exceeds 2 million metric tons. Nearly half of the total catch is made by municipal and subsistence fishers who operate small boats in shallow coastal waters. The surrounding and inland seas of the Philippines yield crab, sardines, anchovies, tuna, scad, and mackerel. Shrimp, milkfish, and tilapia are raised in artificially created fishponds, in the fish-farming industry known as aquaculture. Much of the total catch is for domestic consumption, and about half of the protein in the Philippine diet comes from fish and other seafood. Shrimp and prawn exports to Japan are a significant source of foreign exchange. The pollution of coastal and inland waters and depletion of fish populations through overfishing have reduced the fishing sector’s productivity in some areas of the Philippines.

Milkfish (Chanos-chanos) or "bangus" is the leading commercial specie in the aquaculture industry. It can be cultivated in brackish water, marine and freshwater areas, in ponds, pens, and cages. Milkfish lays up to several million eggs in shallow, brackish water from the months of March to May. Milkfish aquaculture first occurred around 800 years ago in the Philippines and spread in Indonesia, Taiwan and into the Pacific. Traditional milkfish aquaculture relied upon restocking ponds by collecting wild fry. This led to a wide range of variability in quality and quantity between seasons and

    The Orangespotted Sunfish (Lepomis humilis) is often confused with other sunfishes. This species is classified in the class Actinopterygii, order Perciformes, and family Centrarchidae. One characteristic that makes them stand out from other fishes are their black and orange spots. Also, their operculum is lined with a solid white band. Nine to ten bars can be identified on this fish. The bars on the female have a light center, which is a way of gender identification when the males are outside of the breeding season and not brightly colored. Identification of species and gender is especially important when sampling fishes. During breeding season, males have a bright orange belly and metallic blue body while the females are much duller in color. The males are…

    This is because of overfishing. Despite the monkfish's foul looks, it's meat is delicate and white like an angel's wings and its liver is used by the Japanese, Americans, Koreans, and French for various dishes. The monkfish is easily overfished because the larger females are edible but they take a long time to mature. In fact the female monkfish grows to adulthood at 9-11 years old only at 70 cm which means that if all these countries want to eat monkfish then they have to wait 9-11 years until the monkfish fully matured. This means because of the high demand, many monkfish do not reach adult hood to mate and reproduce causing the monkfish population to slowly shrink to…

    Clownfish are a species that live protected from predators. They inhabit in sea anemones for shelter. The nematocysts of the sea anemones are poisonous to predators. The clownfish coat their bodies in their own mucus, which prevents them from being stung. The clownfish attract other fish with its bright colours into the tentacles of the anemone, which gives the anemone an easy feast. Therefore, the two organisms have a mutualistic symbiotic relationship.…

    A fish has long been seen as the perfect “starter pet”. Parents who are skeptical of their children’s ability to care for a larger animal will often present their offspring with a goldfish before introducing a dog or a cat to the household. While it is true that goldfish do not require quite as much attention as their four-legged counterparts, marine pets are not as easy to raise as everybody seems to think. If a fish is to thrive and survive in your care, you must make sure the water in your aquarium is the right temperature, is free of chlorine, and has a low pH level. Failure to adequately prepare the water for your fish will ultimately lead to their death, likely after several weeks of illness and lethargy. Experienced aquarists may be…

    Anadromous fish spawn in fresh water (rivers, streams and tributaries); their young (fry) are born and reared in coastal rivers and streams. Then as juveniles they migrate to the ocean where they spend the next two to three years maturing into adults. When the fish become sexually mature they return to their home rivers to continue their breeding cycle. Some even follow their instincts to the same pool of their birth (M. Podlech, personal communication, January 15 2008).…

    Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) are found in the western North Atlantic from Greenland to Argentina. However the most common Spiny Dogfish we can find from Nova Scotia to Cape Hatteras. We can also find them in the eastern Atlantic from Iceland and the northern Russian coast to South Africa. It also includes the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Many scientists say that Spiny Dogfishes are coming from Sharks. They are the shark relatives. In summer, dogfish migrate northward to the Gulf of Maine Georges Bank region and into Canadian waters and return southward in autumn and winter (Jensen 1965). They tend to school by size and, when mature, by sex. Dogfish feed on many species of fish and crustaceans, but generally target the most abundant species (Link et al. 2002). In the Northwest Atlantic, maximum reported ages for…

    For the people of Japan, the sea provides most of their diet. But one fish in particular, the Bluefin Tuna, is favored over most. Tuna fisheries began to grow in 1970, and since then, developed into an enormous business for Japan. Because of this, fleets of Japanese fishing vessels are over-fishing this species to extinction. The depletion of the Bluefin Tuna has lead to environmental and economical consequences. Due to the extremely high Japanese demand for tuna and its cost, laws preventing the overfishing have not been successful.…
