CORAL Excerpt: Stopping the Plunder
The fact that the majority of marine aquarium fishes entering U.S. markets originate in the Philippines has long worried some aquarium trade stakeholders and critics. The concerns stem largely from the fact that illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing has been so prevalent in this nation of 7,107 islands and the government has appeared so unwilling to address it.

One Editor's Note about the video: When cutting plastic pipe on a table saw, always use a push block to secure the end of the pipe being cut off. People have been hurt by flying pipe that can be launched by the rotating saw blade at the moment that the cut is completed. Here's a typical set of push blocks: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Horn-10228-Woodworkers-Safety/dp/B01GJ85I1M/ref=asc_df_B01GJ85I1M/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310828259700&hvpos=1o12&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16694124485070670522&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012238&hvtargid=pla-569148368320&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=65583250281&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=310828259700&hvpos=1o12&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16694124485070670522&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcMichaelO says:
I've discovered I'm allergic. I have a Mystus leucophasis that we semi-voluntarily adopted. The only food we've found he readily eats is dried bloodworms (and tankmates, but my wife says there won't be any more of that). I'm allergic to his tank water. If I wash it off in under 15 minutes, it's just a hint itchy. If I wait too long, it looks like poison ivy. The only cure is to wash with vinegar and let it dry. This is very effective, by the way, so I'm posting here to share that information. If I forget and touch my eye, it's swollen conjunctivitis and pretty horrible. We're still experimenting with alternate foods. Thank you for this article. Regards, Michael O'Cdmckinzie says:
