Hand Collecting Fish...

[evad1]

The license is free with the DAR of hawaii. As long as it's for home aquarium use. You just go on the website and get one. They mail it to you and it's good for one year.

and its to much easier since its within the U.S.
carry on luggage/box with southwest just let them know in advance...

I know that fish collection company has a very good name and you can see why with how they handle the fish. The LBAoP actually gets a lot of their tropical fish through them!

Really? Can you collect in Hawaii ? Where do you get the license? How do you bring them back ?

I am going to to Hawaii (Maui) in a month and would like to legally collect a few small fish.
can someone please guide me how do I go about doing this ?

Thanks

we have a better way of doing it, no sweat, you dont even need to dive.

when i was there it was a big issue.... none of the locals will support any more collection or exporting of fish or corals...

there is one collector there that is kinda 'world reknown' and he is a great guy... but busy... there are smaller 'one man shops' that do some collecting and exports, kinda like how some folks here sell corals online...

I have been told that it is tough to get collection permits, but honestly dont know the process... so, good luck...

I know is not easy. I currently collect them with a collection net and you need to have patience. But I seen a couple of videos and pictures where they use the barrier net and it look that will be a little easier that my current method. I understand that looks easy and is not but any little help i can get it will make it easier. LOL. So if anyone know where can i get one of this nets will be appreciated.

Thanks
