Wild caught ornamental fish.

I'm not really sure what to make of this. My first impression was that they are heading in a good direction, but when examining it; is it?
I'm certainly in favour of importing wild-caught fish, but it appears my reasons differ quite a bit from what is written in this report. The finances and employment potential don't seem to weigh up to me.
OK, the exporting of marine fish is worth more than the locals eating that fish. We may be doing a great service to that fish, but at a dis-service to other species which they then have to take for food. I don't really think that claiming to support local industry and livelihoods is anything other than patronising. Out of the millions of dollars per year that the fish achieve, very, very little goes to the local that is, in some cases, risking his life to capture it.
It looks to me as if they are starting at the wrong end. Far too much emphasis is put on the people and countries catching and exporting, the area where the least of the finance is realised. So very little "tidying up" is aimed at the destination point, IE retailers, consumers etc. If only one bad retail were to exist - and lets not kid ourselves, there are plenty - then the whole hobby is ruined. It's one bad apple. Also, lets not pretend that all this other employment that is going to be realised is going to benefit, lets say, the Islanders in Bali. It's going to be of more benefit to someone else. The islander is going to have to buy his nets, polythene bags and rubber bands, so that leaves him with even less of his income. A lot of that related industry is going to be carried out by countries with advanced economic finances and workforce, IE Europe, USA etc. Countries that are already benefiting from the trade.
It's sounding like the Fair Trade failure to me, which seems like a despicable method for huge companies to increase their profits.
The analogy of collecting endangered turtle eggs really bamboozles me. If we are demanding what they would normally use as a food source so we can admire them alive, then I'm afraid we are already guilty of endangering those turtles, those people do have to eat. The pittance they receive in return for a live fish will not allow them to import more expensive food, they have to eat another species.
As I say, I'm not against the import of wild caught fish, done properly, I just think that someone has rushed this literature out without rational thought and it is more of a danger to the hobby than anything else. But, this is only my opinion.
