I've seen aquarium shops reap the reefs since the 80s and seen parrot fish (Uhu) completely disappear from every surf spot that I've Surfed,was shocked to see on a popular food channel that fresh Uhu was flown in weekly to a New York resturant from Molokai waters.They ban the longliners and wonder why there are more shark attacks.Rob Gunnett says:
I work in the aquarium service business and I fully support closing of the Hawaiian fisheries until a true environmental study not paid by the pet industry is done. We've seen a few cases already where the pet industry has wiped out local fishes- Banggai Islands and the Cardinalfish... Hawaii is/was being exploited by the pet industry and with the current state of the oceans, this move seems prudent. Sure, I wont be able to get Yellow Tangs any more, but that should encourage us reefers to ensure that they live long lives in our aquariums and/or encourage breeding programs.
