Abstract:

Very little research has yet been done on fresh water fishes in the Philippines. The paper presents the description and key for the identification of 21 fresh water fish species occurring in Tubod River (18 species), Lake Danao (4 species) and its outlet Inawasan River (1species) in Leyte, Philippines. It also provides some notes on the ecology of the fish species.
