Laguna de Bay is a primary source of livelihood of many fishers. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, with a surface area of 90,000 ha. For many years, it has been a source of livelihood for many fishers residing in the coastal municipalities surrounding the lake. Commercial fishpens have also been installed in the lake, mostly raising milkfish and tilapia. Bighead carp, aside from being raised in fish pens in commercial quantity, was one among 13 species caught by open fishing in 1996-1997. Other fishes included kanduli, biya, ayungin, tilapia, milkfish, karpa, hipon, dalag, hito, gourami, martiniko, and dulong. Of the total catch of 2,668 metric tons, bighead carp accounted for 8.6% or 228 metric tons.
