  1. Al menos 60 miembros de las cooperativas “Pescadores de Gómez Farías” y “Pescadores del Nevado” capturan al día cuando menos dos toneladas de carpa y tilapia en la Laguna de Zapotlán, principalmente, y en menor volumen lobina y charal.
    Al pie del Parque Nacional Volcán Nevado de Colima se localiza el tercer Sitio Ramsar de Jalisco, comprendido en los municipios de Zapotlán y Gómez Farías, a 130 kilómetros de la ciudad occidental de Guadalajara.
    La Laguna de Zapotlán brinda albergue, abrigo y alimentación a cuando menos 44 especies de aves residentes y migratorias, entre ellas garzas, zambullidores, pelícanos, cigueñas, patos pejijes, cercetas, chorlitos, gallaretas, abocetas y jacanas, por tan sólo citar algunas.
    Aunque muchas aves permanecen todo el año en la Laguna de Zapotlán, hay otras especies que vienen a pasar sólo el invierno, como es el caso de los patos pijijes, el ibis espátula, la gallardeta morada, la garza patamarrilla, pelícanos y cigueñas, incluso la jacana de Centroamérica.
    Con artes de pesca simples, como las redes agalleras de 50 metros de longitud, los pescadores de la región capturan tilapias de 20 centímetros y carpas de 30 centímetros en promedio, producción que se distribuye en mercados de Colima y Guadalajara.
