There is no decline in fish populations matter of fact yellow tang populations in Hawaii are increasing pretty fast and that is the number one collected fish in Hawaii.. There have been several studies proving this the last few years.
Matter of fact this is going to lead to a big increase in tang prices and more deaths because now we will rely on tangs from farther places.
I do believe in conservation and management. If a fish is in decline we should limit or end it period if need be but this is not it.
