The Sustainable Marine Aquarium

Most ornamental coral reef fish and other organisms for tropical marine aquaria are collected directly from the reef, often as adults. This has resulted in damage to reefs, reduced populations, high by-catch mortality, the introduction of pathogens, and high post-capture mortality.

Fortunately, there are some species which can be bred in captivity, including some seahorses, damselfish, cardinalfish, pipefish, shrimp, zooanthiids, algae, corals and anemones.
