Poison Fishing In Pulau Banyak.avi

Poison fishing commonly referred to as "cyanide fishing," is another popular destructive fishing method used to capture live fish for the aquarium and food trades. Most fish caught using cyanide are sold in restaurants, primarily in Asia, where live fish are prized for their freshness. Fishers using this method dive down to the reef and squirt cyanide or other poisons in reef crevices to stun fish, making them easy to catch. Sodium cyanide and bleach are the two most commonly used poisons. The impact of these poisons on the reef ranges from coral bleaching to death. The full extent of the impacts from poison fishing is unknown. Coral reef fisheries are a vital source of protein for coastal communities throughout the tropics. Coral reefs contain over 4,000 species of fish as well as other edible invertebrates and contribute about one-quarter of the total marine catch in developing countries. Exploitive fishing, which includes overfishing and destructive fishing, occurs on most of the world's reefs. It yields short-term economic benefits for fishers, but endangers the long-term sustainability of fishing and other reef-dependent industries. (WWW.CORAL.ORG)
