Indonesia Halts Coral Exports
Another issue for the marine aquarium trade comes to light, as exports of both wild and aquacultured corals from Indonesia are halted.
Took-Ann Mistretta says:
I support lionfish removal from Florida and Gulf waters. They are invasive species, wiping out native fish. Rehoming 15,000 lionfish is not a practical or feasible solution. Rehoming all the invaders is impossible. Turning lionfish into a reasonably priced food fish could feed many many people who can't afford fish in their diet. I'm not usually a supporter of killing any tropical fish, but in this case it's essential to the survival of our native species.Craig says:
In reply to DM and Paul Lobster and with no disrespect, you obviously have not fully understood the magnitude of the problem and it is not only in Florida, where the invasive Lionfish is literally, wiping out entire fish populations. How about you research the issue, before you respond in a purely emotional way. Secondly, what is YOUR solution to the decimation of all of the OTHER fish throughout the Caribbean waters? The Lionfish have no natural predators in these waters!Allie says:
Will Apple cider vinegar work for any bristles that may be left in my skin??Paul Lobster says:
Surely rather than killing these fish some could be put back in to the aquarium trade maybe even shipped back to where they belong. I know that they are invasive and are not indigenous to the Florida waters but a mass killing spree (15000) that cannot be seen as a result.DM says:
This is disgusting. A wild killing spree of lion fish. This is their answer? Anyone who has kept a lion fish in their aquarium is probably as disgusted as I am. Where are those great savers of the reef who got Yellow Tang collecting banned in Hawaii? I guess there were no cameras around for them to be seen on. We aquarium keepers are the real conservationists. We take care of aquatic animals in a predator free environment where their food is dropped in every day. I live in Florida, and I would not even consider jumping in the water to see how many beautiful lion fish I could run through with a spear. What is reeftorainforest.com doing with this feel good article on lion fish massacres. I hope the lion fish got to sting a few of their killers.janauw60 says:
