Existing coral facility located in Indonesia is looking for an experienced person to train and develop the coral propagation project. Can work as consultant or ongoing employment.
It is so nice to hear that the aquaculture industry is growing leaps and bounds and that the export of wild coral may be a thing of the past.
I am wondering whether this is a result of economics, environmental concerns or the recognition that the use of cyanide has destroyed the reefs beyond compare.
Any comment?
hobbyists dont want brown coral , since 90 percent of the average wild SPS reef is brown or near brown in color ......it makes more sense to propagate the most colorful morphs. There is also a limit on the number of wild corals permitted to be imported. So in order to keep up with the a demand that exceeds supply, farming cultured corals offers an increased product supply. With more corals landing in the USA....hopefully the total number of hobbyists will double :wink:
