I love saltwater fish I'm jus saying alot of fish just die through shipment or bad care an not many SW fish are CBB so that's a problem for the Bobby's future I just think there should b stricter collecting limits and seasons and even moratoriums on some fish like Hawaiian yellow tangs or flame angels for a year or 2 so they can respawn for future years harvest yellow tang populations have gone down By 40 - 70% around the Hawaiian islands recently and I feel like they need some protection that's y I will never by a yellow tang even though I'm a huge tang fan
What is the source for your information showing Yellow Tang populations are 40% - 70% less!? Can you site a study done by a group of researchers? When I looked into this claim by Snorkel Bob and others last year I could not find any research supporting it but there is research showing Yellow Tang populations are increasing concurrently with increasing collection.
