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.Matt Pedersen says:
Hi Chris, do you go fishing? In every state I've ever obtained a recreational fishing license, I've never been required to describe the fish I planned to catch, how many, or where I was going to go fishing. The only requirements of holding those licenses are following the fishing regulations set forth by the state management authority, which determines what you can fish for, where you can fish for them, and how many you can keep. When my wife and I collected marine aquarium fish in Florida under a recreational permit, there were no such reporting requirements, we were simply asked to follow the daily bag limits and possession limits. Effectively, this latest court ruling, as I see it, is no different than a court in the state of MN invalidating my personal fishing license because the commercial Lake Superior fishery for Lake Trout that get sold in my local grocery was found to require some environmental impact assessment.Chris S says:
After reading the article it seems that this isn't a permanent ban, but rather a temporary ban for restructuring by the DLNR. Even as a major aquarium advocate I feel that this may not be a bad decision. "The now-voided permits were issued automatically via an online process. Applicants were not required to describe the fish they planned to catch, how many, or where they intended to collect the animals." Sounds like this needed a bit more oversight in my opinion, and that R2R may be taking this out of context somewhat due to the attacks on the aquarium industry by the plaintiffs.Dan Dolaptchieff says:
Thank you Dr Carlson ,for showing the aq industry and the Hawaiian perspective. Most boys and girls in Hawaii start at an early age 3 prong spearing of reef fish for food. The photo above paints a picture maybe of reef harvesting that may bother some,but remeber the average family will only harvest enogh reef fish to eat that day,and achillies fish has been the Favorite eating reef fish for many generations . I think that its a shame that a child will not be able to take home there Fish they found that day. There are probably not more than 5000 people in all the islands of Hawaii that catch mainly a tidepool fish to take home and learn about the ocean. The EAS will prove us sustainable. AlohaPeter says:
