Among the most pervasive fish traps in Asia and the Pacific, the bubois the most common device in artisanal fisheries of Philippine communities.Its practical use endures for several reasons: a) reliability of bubo technology in time and space; b) living master trappers naturally pass on their knowledge and skills from generation to generation; and c) the places where traps are set up are usually public spaces or commons such as rivers, lakes, streams, and seas. In most countries where bubo trapping is practiced, trappers are peasants. This is certainly true in the case of the Philippines. This paper presents an examination of the variety of bubo fish pots and traps inthe Philippines, specifically, and the use of bubo through time and space, along with its significance as a representation of indigenous and localknowledge that is environmentally friendly. Being small and artisanal, the bubo has proven to be adaptable to the changing climate and to rapid transformations in fishing technology
