MAYDAY! from HI Fishermen
Hawaii’s governor is expected to sign or veto Senate Bill 1240, which is a ban on aquarium fishing in Hawaii. PIJAC is working closely with the state’s fishermen to urge the governor to veto the bill.
CORAL Issue Preview: March/April 2017
As masters of our aquarium worlds, reefkeepers have the daily role of watching out for the health and wellbeing of the fishes, corals and other invertebrates in our captive systems.

A magical planted aquarium in the UK takes shape before the viewer’s eyes in this informative video, part of a series with James Findlay orchestrating the design.
CORAL Video: Solomon Islands Reefs
In this 5-minute video program, my wife Marj and I have tried to convey some of the beauty and diversity of the Solomon Island coral reefs. Many of the fishes and corals in this video will be familiar to CORAL readers, but here they are presented in their natural environment.

The study also demonstrates people benefit more by emphasizing eating the best food than eating less food. Keep in mind that creating a perfect diet doesn't only mean eating the best foods but it also means exercising and that means you will lose weight extremely fast. No kind of medical implants are employed and not one of the stomach is removed within the gastric imbrications, which is still capable to decrease the stomach size, as well as in turn assist the patient to limit food intake.Timothy Birthisel says:
I support the legitimacy of the different interesrs here. Reality changes are dictating restrictions to life extractive business. When the living natural systems are in general catastrophic collapse as is the case now, a reasonable position would be resist any further human meddling with the overall ecosystem. Perhaps it is instinctive distrust that our attempt to overthrow and replace the current apex predators in nature should give us pause. How's it going for us so far? The data says 90% of food fish are gone. We are the only species of predator that selectively hunt and kill the largest trophies among our prey species. Unfortunately these are the very individuals that account for the great majority of a population's reproduction. Continually removing the largest individuals is a selective pressure towards dwarfism, where the high capacity to reproduce is gone from the species, a step down the slippery slope to extinction. The reality is that the diversity of life here has arisen from need, where each individual is filling a conected role with a finely tuned ecosystem that can be seen as balanced and stable when the environment permits and stressed when it is unbalanced. Food fish in decline with ornamentals increasing is not a sustainable ecosystem as Carlson knows, which he why he conditions his faux conclusion with an imaginary definition of sustainabilty that obviously serves the collectors. Tropical marine species exist in especially complex networks of nutrient and gene flow in a sustainable ecosystem. Each part relies on an equilibrium state with the other component life forms, ultimately within a state of biocontrol by the apex predator functions, generally culling less "fit" individuals. This is where we fail miserably. We need to think and act much more pro-habitat and ecosystem stability if we are to survive. Meantime let's rear some amazing ornamentals in hatcheries and find ways to improve and increase habitat where natural processes have respite from our incompetence.Giovanni Carlo Bagayas says:
Hello, I added your photo in my blog post about wild betta. I place your site as source and a link back to your site.Dani says:
Just discovered today that I am allergic to these buggers. I also have adverse reactions to midge bites, so I'm guessing therein lies the connection. My eyes went red, swelled up and became intensely itchy, and my nose started running. I've never had a skin reaction, but I must have touched my face shortly after feeding bloodworms to my fish today - I know I touched one of the worms with my hand so I must have made accidental contact. Oops. Won't be doing that again.Matt Pedersen says:
