Potential Mitigation of Over-fishing
- Collection of juvenile from wild or incubating in a hatchery
- Rate of replenishment needs to be sustainable for the ecosystem that the juveniles are collected from [2]
Impacts on Coral
- Current common fishing practice in Indo-Pacific if dropping cyanide in water to stun fish- having disastrous effects on coral [2]
- Coral reefs are used to provide an ecosystem for aquaculture farming. [3]
