    The Center for Biological Diversity on Monday filed a petition with the National Marine Fisheries Service to place orange clownfish--more commonly known to children as Nemo fish--and seven other reef fish species under protection of the Endangered Species Act.

      Several of the clownfish species have been on the list awhile. (One species is only known from a few dozen individuals). As far as the Tangs, while it's sad to see poorly handled fish the yellow tangs are carefully managed in Hawaii and the regal tangs are now collected as post larva (less than 1% survival in the wild at this stage) and captive raised. I would hope this is an incentive to do more captive breeding.
