The native catfish or pantat (Clarias macrocephalus) is staging a comeback. Pantat has virtually disappeared from the waters of Iloilo, mainly due to high pesticide use in rice farms whose contaminated run-off water flowed into rivers and streams poisoned natural spawning grounds. In addition, the very fast growth and reproduction of introduced foreign species-the African catfish (C. gariepinus) and the Thailand catfish (C. batrachus) that were perceived to be impervious to pesticide pollution contributed to the decline in native catfish population.
