Aquarium Diver: State has found no decline in fish stocks
By News Release @ 8:59 PM :: 7613 Views :: Environment, Small Business
|
Nor have I, or any of the other fishermen here, seen any long term decline in numbers of aquarium fish. We've been diving the same reefs for more than 4 decades, and the fish always return year after year. If this supposed depletion was true, we'd have been out of business long ago. The state has been monitoring the fishery since the early 1970s, and there has never been any declining trend.
