Introduction

Here is the list of commercial marine fishes in Iloilo, Guimaras and Cebu with their scientific names, English names, local names, and their family names.

I know this is not complete.

But I hope that this will help our students in fisheries and our students in biological sciences, and everybody who is interested in our fishes.

I compiled this in the hope that this will shorten the research works of our students.

If you have found any mistakes, please inform me immediately so that we can make the necessary correction.
