It appears the list of fish will be small and I bet they monitor very closely. As far as price going down, maybe a little. Take the yellow tang. Years ago it was a twenty or thirty dollar fish. One of the most common fish and just about everyone had at least one. They were overfished. JMO the price not going to go down much.
From what I’ve read, flame wrasses are not on the list of available Hawaiian fish.
And I wouldn’t expect prices to drop much on the available fish.
Correct from my understanding too. This I got from the article - Only yellow tang, kole, orangespine unicornfish, potter’s angelfish, brown surgeonfish, Thompson’s surgeonfish, black surgeonfish and bird wrasse would be allowed to be taken, under the plan.

I spoke with 2 wholesalers directly today, one of them who was on the phone with a Hawaiian Collector. They are expecting fish to start shipping the first quarter of 2023. And they are expecting additional fish to be on the list other than just those listed.
Prices aren't going to be old days. Expect initial shipments to retail with prices similar to Biota Captive Bred.
