"The largely unregulated trade not only depletes coral reefs of prized species such as clownfish, its methods are also controversial.
Harvesters often capture live fish from tropical reefs by stunning them first with liquid cyanide. As a result, a majority of the fish die before even reaching retail outlets in countries such as Canada."
True for most fish, but I read that due to the clownfish's trusting personality that clowns tended to be "cup caught" and are not often cyanide caught anymore. Not really applicable to the story at hand, tho it does add some sensational finesse.
