This region is believed to be hosting from 2,000 to 3,000 fish species as well as the center of marine fish diversity. Yet there is hardly a good reference to guide field researchers working on fish taxonomy and fisheries. The publication of this field guide of fishes, which is a product of a 5-year collaborative effort involving scientists from the Philippines, Thailand and Japan through the Coastal Area Capability Enhancement of Southeast Asia Project, is based on a regular collection of fish specimens from fish markets in Iloilo City and adjacent landing sites in Panay Island, Central Philippines. It puts together 911 color photographs of specimens representing 597 species in a single volume, including at least 19 previously unrecorded species in the Philippines, simply confirming high fish diversity in this area. The field guide comes at a time when fish resources in the Philippines are subject to intense fishing pressure, usually resulting in degradation of marine habitats. These fishing conditions negatively impact individual species that form part of these vulnerable aquatic ecosystems, and the declining state of these ecosystems provides additional impetus to know what and up to what extent fish species are affected. This field guide will be an important general reference for fish taxonomy and related subjects at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This work is a sequel to similar field guides that came out from the collaborations of the renowned Japanese scientists, particularly from Kagoshima University, who were also involved in previous engagements in Terengganu, Malaysia and Thailand. A review of the three field guides in Malaysia, Thailand, and now the Philippines reveals the occurrence of common species, many of which are widely distributed encompassing fishing grounds of these three countries. Independent investigations for some of these species are now revealing that sub-populations exist within each species, although they are seemingly geographically homogeneous. These three field guides thus provide bases for more purposive fish population studies for species that commonly occur in these countries. This field guide can serve as a general reference for fish taxonomy and related subjects at the graduate and undergraduate level. It is also a useful companion for fisheries scientists, ichthyologists, and field investigators of tropical marine fish species in this part of the Philippines. The financial support of the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN, Project No. 14200061) for sustaining the activities of Filipino and Japanese collaborators for this project is gratefully appreciated.
