do any one have fish / Aquarium ?
Answers
Explanation:
The popularity of keeping tropical fish has created a virtually unregulated industry that catches and breeds as many fish as possible, with little regard for the animals themselves. While many species of coral are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, most fish who end up in aquariums are not.1
Because most saltwater fish cannot be bred in captivity, up to 98% of those sold in pet stores come from the wild, mostly from the waters around Southeast Asia, Fiji, and Hawaii.2 More than 30 million fish, along with millions of other types of marine life—such as anemones, shrimp, and mollusks—are captured every year to support a $200 million worldwide “hobby.”3,4 Some species, such as the Banggai cardinalfish, have become threatened because of fishing.5
According to a 2008 report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, up to 90% of saltwater fish brought to the U.S. for display are caught illegally using poison.6 Collectors douse coral reefs with cyanide, which is ingested by the fish who live there, and as reported in Scientific American, “The resulting asphyxiation stuns some fish and sends others into spasms, making them easy to grab by hand or net.”7 Studies have shown that as many as 75% of fish poisoned with cyanide die within hours of collection and that another 30% die before they’re ever shipped.8 The cyanide also kills coral and millions of other fish, invertebrates, and microscopic animals.Marine biologists rank the poison as one of the biggest dangers in Southeast Asian waters.
