Ang Flounder o flatfish na kilala sa tawag na 𝙩𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙥𝙪𝙠𝙚, 𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙖, 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙙 ay isa sa pinakakakaibang isda sa karagatan dahil sa pisikal nitong anyo na palapad. Sa kanilang paglaki, unti-unting lumilipat ang kanilang isang mata sa kabilang panig ng ulo. May kakayahan rin silang magbalatkayo o camouflage sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng kulay ng balat o pagbabaon sa sarili sa buhangin upang magtago sa mga kalaban.

Bukod sa kanilang kakaibang anyo, ang tampalpuke ay paboritong ihain sa hapag ng maraming Pilipino dahil sa napakalambot, maputi, at pino nitong karne na maaaring iprito, ihawin, o lagyan ng sarsa.

Bagama't hindi ito kabilang sa mga pangunahing komersyal na isda, malaki ang naitutulong ng flounder sa pagbibigay ng pagkain at kabuhayan sa mga mangingisda at lokal na pamayanan sa Pilipinas.

Through maritime patrol operations, vessel monitoring measures, law enforcement capacity building, and strengthened inter-agency cooperation, BFAR continues to intensify its efforts against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing. These initiatives help safeguard Philippine waters, improve compliance with fisheries laws, and promote the sustainable management of the country's fisheries resources.

As the lead fisheries management agency, BFAR works closely with fisherfolk, coastal communities, local government units, the Philippine Coast Guard, the Philippine National Police Maritime Group, and other partners to strengthen fisheries law enforcement nationwide. Guided by science-based management and supported by the Fishery Law Enforcement Manual of Operations (FLEMO), these efforts are complemented by BFAR’s partnership with the U.S. government through the Fish Right Program, including the I-FIT tool, which was created through this collaboration to support data-informed action against IUU fishing and contribute to the protection of marine ecosystems, food security, and the livelihoods of millions of Filipinos who depend on the fisheries sector.

On June 5, the Philippines joins the international community in observing the International Day Against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing. Join us in commemorating this global observance and in supporting the collective effort to protect our seas, uphold responsible fishing practices, and ensure a sustainable future for our fisheries and coastal communities.
