The sinarapan, the world's smallest commercial fish species, is native to the Philippines. It was discovered by American biologist Dr. Lawrence M. Page in 1938 during his research in Lake Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines.
The sinarapan (Mistichthys luzonensis) is the world's smallest commercially-harvested fish located only in the Philippines. They are endemic to the Bicol Region, specifically in Lake Buhi, Lake Bato, Bicol River and other bodies of water in Camarines Sur province, east side of the Philippines.
A sinarapan, which is considered the smallest commercially harvested fish in the world, typically weighs less than a gram. They are so tiny that it would take a substantial number of them to make up just one gram.

The legend of the smallest fish in the Philippines often centers around the "sinarapan," a tiny fish found in Lake Buhi in Camarines Sur. This fish, measuring just about 1.5 centimeters, is celebrated for its resilience and unique beauty. Local folklore often attributes a mystical quality to the sinarapan, symbolizing hope and the delicate balance of nature. It serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity in the Philippines and the importance of preserving its natural habitats.
