Mary, The Reefbase artical states that 1500 tons of aquarium fish are shipped out of PI each year and 3500 tons of seafood fish..........WHat is the average pounds of fish in each box ? With 2000 boxes leaving PI a week this number does not add up? If each box has pound of fish .....times 100,000 boxes a year--------thats fifty tons NOT 1500! This means that it actualy takes thirty years of collecting to remove this amount...Or more then this hobby has ever collected in the past thirty years?

Again! To compare frozen sea food fish with Ornamental hobby boxes of {90%} water, is an attempt to deceive............ If the 1500 tons vs. 3500 seafood fish is correct and the actual fish weight of a hobby fish box 0ne pound times 100,000 boxes out of PI{ per year is about 50 tons}..............then the seafood industry is SEVEN HUNDRED TIMES the total that this hobby collects per year.......Or to put it in another contrast, ONE DAY of seafood fishing is equal to TWO YEARS of hobby collection!

This seafood is live, so may also factor water into the equation. I would also query the figure 3,500 tonnes of food fish coming out of the Philippines, this is extra-ordinarily high.
