感觉我们已经覆盖的传奇legal challenges to Hawaiian ornamental fish collection for years but now our worst fears have come to pass. Last week a ruling came down that has completely banned the collection of ornamental fish in the entire state of Hawaii, immediately invalidating any existing permits for commercial aquarium fishing.
这意味着没有黄色的唐人,没有陶艺工具,没有匪徒的缠结,没有火焰扭曲,除非它们被俘虏,否则几乎所有经典的标志性夏威夷礁鱼将不再可用于水族馆的爱好。如果适用,我们总是赞成我们的水族馆为水上养殖生活的生活,但是这项裁决和之前的裁决取消了超过100个商业水族馆许可证,在大流行期间,许多家庭完全失业。
如果有的话,那将是一回事anyindication that targeted collection of certain species actually resulted in population declines but there is no evidence to support this. On the contrary, the Hawaiian ornamental fish collecting ‘industry’ is one of the most heavily studied, thoroughly documented, and intensively scrutinized in the world and numerous studies and surveys resulted in minimal impacts on local fish populations.
夏威夷is rich with resources and is a huge hub for commercial and recreational fishing, including spearfishing, using heavy equipment, speedboats, longlining, and factory ships to pull out literallytons大型育种鱼类的海鲜。虽然每年以数千条鱼的身份测量了观赏鱼配额,但必须手工完成机械化的海鲜捕鱼业thousands of tons每个物种,仅Bigeye Tuna的3,763吨。
因此,仅仅为了使夏威夷的状况保持水平,您仍然可以长矛鱼并杀死大型育种黄色唐人并在未经许可的情况下吃掉它们,但是完全是非法的小心捕捉到活着的小黄色唐人,其中大多数将无法通过许可证生存到成年!绝对感觉就像我们生活在一个替代宇宙中,那里有一个巨大的双重标准,而事实和数据被抛在一边,以进行轰动的,情感上的论据,在理性法院中几乎没有意义。
这不是临时禁令,因为不会颁发新的商业许可证,并且在完成彻底且昂贵的环境影响调查之前,将完全停止观赏海洋鱼类的收集。这与法治几乎相反,因为被告必须证明他们没有损害环境,直到被证明是无辜的。
The biggest worry is that the closure of a bastion of sustainability can set a dangerous precedent for the collection of aquarium fish as well as other artisanal harvesting of natural resources. Unfortunately, none of the stakeholders in the collecting of marine fish – not the collectors, importers, wholesalers or retailers are motivated to band together to pool their efforts and money to finance the required environmental impact survey which we don’t expect to happen anytime soon, if ever.
