Hawaii Fish Ban Update

[vetteguy53081]

There is no reason for the derogatory tone. All i was saying is that the pause in hawaii has put more emphasis on captive breeding and thus accelerated progress is being made. I too miss fish like crosshatch triggers and look forward to them being captive bred since they already have spawned in captivity….only a matter of time…..

I agree and support both. There are some fish desired that captive breeding cannot keep up with demand or not yet bred in captivity and as both increase supply, prices should drop.

This thread has offered some information and updates. Lets keep it friendly and celebrate together when specimens are released to stores once again.
Happy Reefing always !

Hawaii being closed is resulting in advances in captive breeding which is good the hobby. As competition amongst aquaculture captive breeders grows, pricing will also come down. This is the long term sustainable model for the future.

Do you have sources to back that up?

Captive breeding saltwater fish for the aquarium trade started a solid 15-20 years before the Hawaii ban.
