Talakitok or trevally and jacks were species that also increased after an MPA was established in Apo Island in Negros in 1983. Talakitok and Labahita (surgeonfish) make up to 75% of the fishery yield from Apo Island, and their populations tripled over the decades after the MPA was started. Organizations that help establish and maintain MPAs include the DENR, Haribon Foundation, Rare Philippines, Oceana Philippines, @wwf Philippines, UNDP Philippines, and more. Talakitok is not only important for marine ecosystems, they're important in our diet! See how Talakitok is prepared at Filipino Food Art. April is also Filipino Food Month and Philippine Earth Month!

Time for delicious, sweet-and-sour Escabeche! It is typically a fried fish drenched in bell peppers and onion in a vinegar, sugar, and/or ketchup sauce. Though this method was brought over by the Spanish, they took it from a recipe as old as the early 8th century when it was enjoyed by Abbasid caliphs and upper classes of Islamic society. They called it sikbaj, and it was made with meat stewed in vinegar (Lilia Zaouali, 2007). Today, Filipinos use different fish available at the coastline for escabeche, including Lapu-lapu, Tilapia, Talakitok, and more. Fish are not only consumed by many Filipinos, but they're also important species in our marine ecosystems. April is Filipino Food Month and Philippine Earth Month. Learn more about this fish, and how something called "marine protected areas" can help ensure we have more fish to enjoy... at @philippinewildlifeart.
