00:07 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:09 I'm your brother Kim, who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:13 The fish that are caught and dropped in the family of the fishermen
00:16 will not only fill our stomachs, but also our knowledge.
00:21 In a market in the province, the first fish caught is the newest marine species in the world.
00:26 [music]
00:30 The fish that are sold in this market in the town of Loay Bohol are always fresh.
00:34 But who would have thought that the fresh fish caught here
00:37 is also about our very rich ocean.
00:40 According to a study conducted by the Raffles Bulletin of Zoology,
00:43 the newest species of fish in the world,
00:46 the Inisthius Bacunawa, the first to pass through the market of Loay,
00:49 was a research assistant in 2018.
00:51 We spotted a unique looking fish.
00:53 At that time, we didn't know what it was exactly, but we collected it.
00:57 The unique fish has been eaten by the residents for a long time.
00:59 But Ken has a question.
01:01 This is not yet described.
01:03 It has not yet been formally named.
01:05 Or this is what we call scientists.
01:07 So he studied the nature of fish in more detail.
01:09 What we did is we contacted museums from the US and Japan.
01:13 We also had collaborative efforts from the people of UP Mindanao and Mindanao State U.
01:19 Brother Kim, what is the difference between Inisthius Bacunawa and other fish?
01:23 Brother Kim, what is it?
01:25 These are the fish that I caught from Japan.
01:27 There are many types of fish.
01:29 But there is one species of fish that can be found in Bohol.
01:32 The new fish with a scientific name of Inisthius Bacunawa
01:35 has a common name, the Eclipse Spot Razor Rass.
01:38 The Rass is one of the most numerous and perhaps the most colorful fish
01:42 that can be found in tropical reefs.
01:44 It is also called Razor Rass, Cleaver Rass, and Razor Fish.
01:47 In the Philippines, it is known as Maming or Napoleon.
01:50 But what is the difference between Inisthius Bacunawa and other Rass?
01:53 The very flat body of Inisthius Bacunawa is pale yellow and jade green in color.
01:58 The blue and orange metallic spots on its dorsal fin are noticeable
02:01 and yellowish green on the anteromedial portion of its body behind the pectoral fins.
02:06 The nature of the fish can grow up to 6.8 inches.
02:09 These are African Cyclids, a freshwater fish that can be found in rivers in Africa.
02:14 Inisthius Bacunawa can be found in sandy grassy areas far away from coral reefs.
02:18 These fish are not usually surveyed.
02:21 When you look at the fish, you think of it as a living creature.
02:24 And then we managed to get a new species.
02:26 But why did they name the Inisthius Bacunawa the "Fish of the Year"?
02:30 Another notable feature of Inisthius Bacunawa is its black and white markings on its dorsal fin.
02:40 This is a sign of an eclipse. And the name of the fish is related to the Visayan mythical creature, Bacunawa.
02:47 According to mythology, Bacunawa is a fierce dragon that roams the moon.
02:52 This is the reason why it has an eclipse.
02:55 Meanwhile, to find out the latest viral news, tweet or comment #KuyaKimWhatNow
