catching fish in wild for reefers

[harlequin01]

I thought they were catching fish with big nets and then 1 guy with smaller nets stay in the middle where the other bring the net to the center. I think that's how they catch schooling fishes.

That's the term net cought

Did you notice in the video the very precise measurement of the cyanide used! Ya me neither these catching methods are the reason I try and buy only net caught or tank raised fish. I knew they darted mandarians, that thing they spear them with in the video looks pretty big for that little fish, how can that not damage them for life. Probably the reason that most of them have a short life span I think. ( to both these methods )

I watched about 2 min and stopped. The coral reefs to me at least and I'm sure all others that choose to take this hobby up are something to be admired and treasured not destroyed. I'm not one to criticize the economic ways of another country but there's got to be a better way. Ocean's are like the forests, it's a sustainable resource if maintained properly but abuse it like this and it'll end real fast. My reef is for myself a little slice of what I consider paradise, one of earth's most magnificent creations. If I knew that in some way I contributed to the demise of the coral reefs I'd surely change my ways but I do my best to ensure my habits and practices don't. We as reef keepers owe this to ourselves and future generations, keep it clean boys and girls and it'll survive.
