Tropical coral reefs under pressure Part 8: Aquarium and live fish

This clip is part of the documentary Tropical Coral Reefs Under Pressure. Coral reef fish is big business. Trade in coral, fish and other marine animals reaches hundreds of millions $ a year. About 98% of coral reef fish cannot be bred in captivity. Therefore, there is a great fishing for living fish. Many places fishermen use the poison cyanide to catch the fish. The diver injects the poison into the caves the fish are hiding in, and when the fish is stunned, it is easy to haul it out. A place where they catch fish in a sustainable way is in Kenya. It is René, who originally came from Esbjerg in Denmark, who has established himself as a supplier of sustainably cast coral reef fish for aquariums around the world.
