Liveaquaria sustainable?

Sadly, very few fish coming out of the Pacific are caught by means that most of us would agree with.

That is utterly disagree with. There are numerous locals in the Pacific with very legit collection practices. SI, MI, Palau, Fiji, AU, Guam, Tonga, Hawaii, SoC, and many more.
 
gb530 is correct. Most captive raised fish are going to be clowns, cardinals, etc.
Your limited to those selection of fish. Real fish like Angels, Tangs, Butterfly's, Wrasse, etc. are not captive bred.
IMO..... just buy the fish you find desirable and will be compatible in your aquarium and enjoy the hobby. Thinking of where they came from, how many are left, or how they were caught is all academic IMO.
