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:
Hi, I am a stater for reef tank setup, can i get confirmed from you. is there a necessity of heater in this summer ? If yes, please let me know the temperature to be set. Regards, PeterBrad van Scriver says:
Thanks for such a delightful view of your experience in creating a new reef tank. A former fish keeper, Brad van ScriverJesse says:
Recreational fishermen should have imposed limits if that is the case. Because fishing itself is a "hobby." Yet these recreational fishermen have more of an impact and affect more species of fish. The majority of saltwater fish kept in homes are viewed as pets, not "trophies." They are treated for diseases and parasites and fed appropriately. The cost involved in owning these fish encourages the owners to have a good well being of their fish. Fish don't have to succumb to survival of the fittest and natural predators.Dan Dolaptchieff says:
I wanted to thank PIJAC and all the other organizations and persons that stuck by us fisherman, and read the studies,and did there homework,and know the truth. Please take a half-hour and read the eas and you will see the truth That the fishery has been sustainable for many years, and will continue to do so. I would have encouraged anyone to stand up for the rights of the fish, BUT,only if they were being improperly captured or not shipped safely, but in the case of the Hawaii AQ,the truith is there to read. We have made sure our fishery is Sustainable, is safely taking as good a care as possible of the AQ fish.. A good exMple is a yellow tang living in Waikiki State aquarium for over 20 years.If you read the AQ fish forums you will see that MANY of our tropical saltwater aquarium fish live 3 to 4 times longer in home aquariums than they would normally do in nature. Mahalo (thank you) Aloha PS come visit or watch a video of the Kona side and see the healthy ecosystem we are proud ofJudith Weis says:
Responding to the statement "(curiously, these same people see no problem killing fish for nourishment), it seems to me not "curious" at all, but a very large difference to take fish for food for needed protein vs for a hobby.
