Fish, fishing, and fish farming are very important to the diet, culture, and economy of the people of the Philippines. The milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskål) is so much a part of the way of life that it is the official national fish, as every school child is taught. Milkfish farming started about four centuries ago in the Philippines, the technology apparently having spread from Indonesia. Today, milkfish aquaculture in the Philippines is at a crossroad. Milkfish production has fluctuated sharply between 150 and 250 thousand metric tons, but on average has relatively stagnated over the past decade, partly due to the shrimp boom and the low price of milkfish.
