And various groups are up in arms about how the aquarium hobby industry is depleting the reefs. I wonder how much is taken for food versus hobby.

I had no idea Tangs were used for food.

Also keep in mind that what is caught is eaten, while for the aquarium trade some live and a lot die before they even come close to our lfs for us to buy.

That is my unicorn. I LOVE those fish... I never stop being amazed by different cultures and societies, it's just remarkable the differences and correlations.

That's the case in Hawaii. People are up in arms about aquarium collectors. But when I talk to locals, they say most of the prettiest fish are the best to eat.
Should clarify that the people who are up in arms are not the locals. They are mainland transplants.

I bet a Vlamingii would be pretty good eating
