Here is another way to look at it...
Is life in the Ocean that great? Sure they have the swimming room, but they also deal with bigger fish that want to eat them, they have to hunt (work) for their food. The reef (their homes) are disappearing (even with-out collection). Global warming and pollution are causing poor water conditions.
In a proper tank, the average fish will live longer than they would in the wild. Sadly, too many people have improper tank.
That said, I feel that fish over a certain size should not be collected.
