Are Banggai Cardinals Depleted in the Wild?
A new proposed draft rule to prevent the US import and export of the Banggai Cardinal (Pterapogon kauderni) under the Endangered Species Act, would do vastly more harm than good. The need for these proposed changes is based on a false premise. Meanwhile, these rules would vastly complicate the aquarium trade in this species and significantly stifle the robust commercial aquaculture of the species that currently produces the vast majority of fish seen in the aquarium trade.
Matt Pedersen says:
Some addtional updates: Bocas Mariculture reports the successful cultivation of Serranus flaviventris, which didn't make it onto the list, and two accomplishments initially attributed to Bocas were in fact reported by Till Deuss from earlier when he was working with Biota Palau, so these have been attributed to the Biota Group with date information.Matt Pedersen says:
It's been brought to my attention that we overlooked the first breeding of Corythoichthys conspicillatus by Pholium Mariculture in the UK, which occurred in 2022. And thus, the first addition to the next list is already known!CORAL Magazine’s Captive-Bred Marine Fish Species List for says:
