Jake@River City Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 New permits and permit renewal was stopped last month, but as of Friday last week, the collection of fishes for the aquarium trade in Hawaii has officially halted until further notice.http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/36706659/hawaiis-aquarium-fish-industry-put-on-hold-as-court-seeks-environmental-impact-study Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake@River City Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 As some of you know we received fish directly from Hawaii. Sadly, our supplier emailed Monday with the news. More importantly than us not having certain fish available, is the livelihoods of the locals in Hawaii who depended on the business. We hope they can all make ends meet until this is finally sorted and decided on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Those poor fishermen. I hope they have other means to get by.In unrelated news, I'll be selling a flame wrasse for $250,000 if someone wants one. [emoji54] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 This is unfortunately what we saw coming with the recent updates. Jake highlights such a major point that is being overlooked by others having input in the decision making process. The knee-jerk overreaction to this truly may cost some families their means of living. Hopefully the collection will resume soon, but I fear the slippery slope has begun. If we can find any good in all of this - "perhaps" there will be more investment from the industry as a whole into aquaculture. Selling my wrasse for 249,999.00 - free house included with purchase.
