Foreword

The Philippine coastal environment with its extensive shoreline, marked by mangrove areas and river connections, coral reefs and seagrass communities has been known to harbor a great variety of fishes. Interestingly, the largest and smallest fishes in the world are found in the waters of the Philippines. The variety of fishes, so far identified, has been recorded to comprise 2,400 species (Herre, 1953) which have been given different names by region and by major dialects. There lies some confusion in the use of common names because there are cases where a certain common name refers to different kinds of fishes. This can lead to misidentification and therefore affect the correct accounting of specific fish catch, as well as total production. A reference book entitled “English and Local Names of Philippine Fishes” published in 1948 by Dr. A. W. Herre and Mr. Agustin Umali has been truly helpful in identifying and classifying fishes in the catch reports coming from the different fishing grounds of the country. It has helped identify many fishes for various purposes. While this reference is still useful, an updated one is needed because of recent notable new names adopted by coastal fishermen. This observation is supported by the absence of some names in the old reference list and which are presently in use. In general, the common names of fishes by major dialects are mostly generic or by groups, like for slipmouth, sap-sap is the common name for all kinds in Metro Manila, tambong in Calauag, and pot-pot in Cebu. Interestingly, there are specific common names for various species in the group that possess distinct external characteristics, like its color, body shape and presence of filaments. This is also true in the coral reef fishes like the groupers and the snappers.

This new reference will surely be of great help in the multifarious works of biologists and fishing technologists all over the country.

Introduction

In fisheries, the condition of having many dialects in the country really needs a reference for the various local names of fishes by major areas of the country. While there is that old publication, nothing is left for distribution. The publication may not be complete but hopefully the recent names being used are already included. It should be noted that most of the previous common local names remain the same.

Methodology

In pursuing the project on the inventory of the present local and common names of Philippine fishes, forms to be accomplished containing the list of species by Family which are alphabetically arranged were prepared together with the sets of fish illustrations which the piece-worker hired in each region used in asking for local names from coastal fishermen and fish market vendors taking note of the distinct features of the fish. These forms together with fish illustrations were given to them. Other sources of information are from other institutions. The collected local names were encoded by province and by region; hence, the presentation by region which is arranged by family.

Results

Table 1 and 2 are the summaries of local common names of big tunas and pelagic fishes like yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) , skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson), dolphin fishes (Coryphaenidae), leather jacket (Scomberoides lysan), sailfish (Istiophorus orientalis) and Indo-pacific blue marlin (Makaira mazara). Small tunas, bullet tuna (Auxis rochei), frigate tuna (Auxis thazard) and eastern little tuna (Euthynnus affinis) are in Table 3 and some important commercial small pelagic fishes like roundscad (Decapterus spp.), mackerels (Rastrelliger spp.), sardines/anchovies and caesio that belongs to family Clupeidae, Engraulidae and Caesionidae are in Table 4, 5 and 6. Table 7-12 are summaries of some commercially-important demersal fish groups: Table 7 contains family Nemipteridae, threadfin breams (Nemipterus spp.) and monocle breams (Scolopsis spp.); Table 8 contains Mullidae, goatfishes (Upeneus spp. and Parupenaeus spp.) and Synodontidae, lizard fishes (Saurida spp., Synodus spp. and Trachinocephalus spp.); Table 9 contains fishes that belong to Leiognathidae, slipmouths (Leiognathus spp., Secutor spp. and Gazza spp.); Table 10 for Serranidae, groupers (Epinephelus spp., Plectropomus spp., Variola sp., Cephalopholis spp., Cromileptes sp., Ellerkeldia rubra); Table 11 for Lethrinidae, emperors, large-eye breams and pigface breams (Gymnocranius spp., Lethrinus spp. and Monotaxis grandoculis) and Table 12 for Lutjanidae, snappers and jobfishes (Aphareus spp., Etelis spp., Lutjanus spp., Macolor spp., Pinjalo spp., Pristipomoides spp. and Symphorichthys spilurus). The listings of local common names of marine fishes of the country by region are given in Appendices A to N.

The authors would like to express their gratitude to DA regional fishery biologists particularly the project leaders and assistant project leaders of the National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP) for supervising the collection of local names in their respective areas, to fellow researchers in the Fisheries Resources Evaluation and Environment Services Division for their coordination, monitoring and retrieval of the accomplished forms from the regional offices, and to Mr. Sherwin Santos who painstakingly encoded, arranged and put the information in a streamlined publication. The contributions of Dean Jose Cardenas of the Cagayan State University and Dr. Jose Ingles of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas are also very much appreciated. We also thank the fishermen and vendors we have been asked and approached during the data collection. We also thank the BFAR administration for supporting the project.
