Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), the subtle random deviation between left and right sides of bilaterally symmetrical organism, and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChe) activity are widely reported as potential early warning tools in montoring the health of aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated asymmetry in body shape and AChe in tank goby, Glossogobius giuris, a native and commercially important fish of dwindling stock in Laguna de Bay, Philippines.
