I had the pleasure to participate in fish biology fieldwork again in Tubbataha reefs, between Palawan and the Visayas, this year; Our main intention was to survey the number of fish species and their abundance, and to get the data and photographs for an upcoming book about the fishes of Tubbataha. I also managed to get some footage on the side. I hope it’s interesting for the scubaboard readers:
The lagoons of the Tubbataha atolls are rarely dived:
It’s quite striking to me how much more fish behavior is on display in Tubbataha, when the fish are not stressed by human fishing:
The triggerfish of Tubbataha deserve their own video. I was especially thrilled to observe the nesting of the rarely seen (at least by me) oceanic triggerfish.
