From a hobbyists point of view this does seem like a set back but to be honest it might be a good incentive for both the fisheries board and the companies doing the fishing to invest in local captive breeding of all the Popular Hawaiian aquarium Fishes and invertebrates... This will help the local economy and promote a positive outlook on the aquarium industry as whole if we could find a way to rally behind the idea that captive breeding is the future of the Aquarium industry.Michael Foster says:

I have a herd of these little devils. They all come with parasites start treating day one. They ate 150 apples snails in a year. Slow growing mine are about 3”and have an increasingly blocky head. Small freshwater clams will also help to wear their beaks. Great (people)social fish for its size and fine with other non-aggregate tank mates. Although they might be eaten if they’re crunchy.Seth says:
Can confirm. Fish like this stuff. I feed it to my reef tank and my freshwater tanks. Everyone goes absolutely nuts over the stuff. It isn't a complete diet though. My fish don't breed unless I feed brine shrimp and blood worms, but they aren't happy with me unless they get their pellets too!Devakalpa Ghose says:
I just learned today about the news of Mr. Fenner's passing away. May he rest in peace. I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally but have been priviledged to receive so many replies from him over many years of asking questions at the WWM website. I cherish my copy of TCMA, one of the best books on marine aqua hobby I have read. The world of fish keeping will miss him yearly.
