MrsBugmaster Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I came cross this video on what the fish go through to get to us, the hobbyist, and thought I'd share it. It is very interesting and disturbing at the same time. It makes me sad on some parts. Seeing the thousand of fish in bags gives you a good overview of how many fish are plucked from the sea. I have mixed feeling on this part. What are your feeling on this video? https://youtu.be/A15CDsGkY3Q 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo620 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Watched it. The TNT fishing ticked me off a bit. Very informative. My question is how many other facilities practice these somewhat just practices. Makes me wonder the ratio of good collectors and bad collectors.

Gorgi Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 This has always bothered me and there was a time i thought about getting out of the hobby because of some of the practices in collection. How many times per week is this done? Looking back I know i lost fish in the late 70’s to cyanide poisening. Today most of those practices are obsolete. (We hope) I have always wondered the mortality rate for species shipped? Some of those bags had limited water in them and sure it is to lower shipping fees. It’s a good practice to support those that are active in propagation of corals and tank raised fish. It may be all we have in the very near future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
