Vanuatu is a haven for snorkelling, reef and wreck diving, and sport fishing.

Since the success of the film 'Finding Nemo', demand for tropical fish has soared. But the seas of the Pacific are literally being emptied to feed this frenzy.

Tropical fish are now virtually worth their weight in gold. "Everybody wants one because of this Nemo film," explains SRS Manager Larry Dacles. His company has a monopoly on tropical fishing in Vanuatu, home to some of most popular tropical fish in the world. SRS has alienated local tourism operators, who depend on the tropical fish as an attraction, and the traditional owners of the reefs, and scientists who are fearing an ecological disaster in the making. "They take anything and everything," complains one local. "It's out of control." Already there has been a 50% fall in tropical fish from the reefs. Now, it's not so much a case of finding Nemo as saving him.

@2:12 In my country (Mauritius), this kind of fishing is not allowed. If they are caught, they risk paying huge fines or go to jail.

[briishspy]

those divers are bitching over nothing, the whole thing is controlled (not talking about that cheif guy), yea there might not be as many fish as there used to be but there's no consern for huge depletion of the fish, i bet those divers eat fish without thinking twice.

[EpicDriver97]

Only buy the ones raised in captivity. The ones captured from reefs are under so much stress that less the half make it though shipping.
