Hawaii Yellow tang

[rocket098]

If you are looking for Hawaii yellows tangs I have some good news. There has been a favorable court ruling for the reopening of wild fish harvesting in Hawaii. Although harvesting is still illegal the court recently ruled that the Board of Land and Natural Resources has enough information to make a decision on reopening harvesting. Prior to this there was a lengthy study that was being proposed by Earthjustice, which is an environmental activist organization. The need for the study has been rejected and I believe shortly the state will reopen its wild fish harvesting again. I would advise anyone looking for yellows to wait as the population of them has actually surged. Once harvesting begins prices should stabilize. I would caution against buying yellows that are being smuggled out as there are no legal channels in obtaining these fish. You can help by raising awareness about the lates news and hopefully we can bring back these beautiful fish into our aquariums.

Great. They're up to $599 which is beyond insane...

This is great news! Are you able to provide a source for this information? I don't see anything new in a quick google search.

I can see it dropping down to a little over a hundred in a reasonable amount of time.

Never surprise me how quickly sticks can rebound.

Red Snapper in the Atlantic are a prime example….

Fun Fact: Hawaii isn't the only places yellow tangs are collected.

It is the only place where they are found in large quantities. Quantities large enough to harvest. Also I believe if you want that special yellow color it is predominantly from HawaiI.

But non except Hawaiian or baby biotas ever reach my part of the world.

Only a number of permits will be issued and I would be shocked if prices came down drastically as I think with the past pricing, many wholesalers will dwell on the $500 range and boast they are true/rare hawaiian.

Or you could just buy a captive bred one...

They can keep their $500 yellow tang

What other fish were affected? I know the yellow Tang was the biggest casualty of the Hawaii ban, but I remember reading there were other fish we couldn't get at an affordable price also

 

[Sharkbait19]

Here’s to hoping that yellow tangs become affordable again…

 

[rocket098]

I think the chevron tang was also affected. I know there are captive bread as mentioned above however they don’t look as good as the original Hawaii yellows.

Starting bids at 599..lol
