Since the success of the film 'Finding Nemo', demand for tropical fish has soared. But the seas of the Pacific are literally being emptied to feed this frenzy. Tropical fish are now virtually worth their weight in gold. "Everybody wants one because of this Nemo film," explains SRS Manager Larry Dacles. His company has a monopoly on tropical fishing in Vanuatu, home to some of most popular tropical fish in the world. SRS has alienated local tourism operators, who depend on the tropical fish as an attraction, and the traditional owners of the reefs, and scientists who are fearing an ecological disaster in the making. "They take anything and everything," complains one local. "It's out of control." Already there has been a 50% fall in tropical fish from the reefs. Now, it's not so much a case of finding Nemo as saving him.Extra Keywords:Port Vila Vanuatu Fiji Reef The Deep Blue spearfishing river to reef rivertoreef fishing fish vanuatu marlin ifish big game fishing fish fished fisher fishs fishes fishers fishery aquaculture fishing gear the fishing show Vanuatu Marlin Masters fish farm fish tank farming aquarist marine aquarium aquariums fishkeeping fish practicalfishkeeping charliehsiao patriotledger Moenkhausia pittieri, tetra diamante en su habitat natural Aquarium Tropical fish tank Bromsgrove Gordon Dipple GordonDipple Fiji Samoa New Caledonia Noumea Hawaii New Zealand Australia Great Barrier Reef Coral Seas Tonga Maldives Mauritius New Hebrides USS Vincens artificial reef reefs reefer reefing snorkel snorkell snorkelling snorkeling puffer fish zebra fish banana hog fish groper grouper star fish coral anemonie clam shark octopus squid cuttlefish nano reef aquariums saltwater corals zooanthids soft clownfish blujack333 Pets & Animals Video 15 gallon long reef 125 fish live rock (FOWLR) saltwater tank live rock 2 ocellaris clowns 3 blue green chromis yellow tang sailfin tang yellow eye kole tang carribean blue tang foxface lo green mandarin invertebrates bao357 Sweet Pea seahorse nano reef Practical Fishkeeping nano reef tank aquarium SissySathre corallite Reefdevil sushi pet eel sea snake lion fish sea snake shark neon tetra clown fish gold fish barracuda tuna ecology environment environmental issues fish stock stocks wild reef fish feeding frenzy fishfromvenezuela the fishing show thefishingshow larry dacles aqua my oh aquarium lene rene claus soren pirates comeback love sharks octopus nature Nima wild animals awesome aquarium shark when you put a giant octupus in an aquarium filled with sharks Fishfreedom Vanuatu FijiTahiti Hawaii Solomon islands Tonga

People interested in saltwater aquaria need to seek out and support aquaculture so that these amazing animals do not need to be removed from their natural habitat. For those of you not familiar with this term it is the breeding of organisms in a captive environment.

You have got to be kidding me. The people featured in the video are catching fish in the most sustainable way, with nets instead of cyanide, and they are being chided for this? Tell me, how else can you make some money if you live on a small island with nothing but a bunch of palm trees and sand? the aquarium industry is probably the biggest employer of tropical island populations, and that makes islanders value their reefs for more than food.
