One of the goals of those explorations has been to provide a window through which aquarists can view a side of the trade that is typically at best out-of-sight-out- Fof-mind and at worst intentionally less than transparent given the unsustainable and illegal practices that continue to plague the collection side of the industry. BACKGROUND AND PERSPECTIVE My experience has led me to believe sustainable marine aquarium fisheries can be one of the best resource extraction industries when While I’m professionally interested in the big picture at the it comes to appropriate socio-economic development and creating confluence of fisheries, science, socio-economic development, real economic incentive to conserve reefs. Eliminating these and conservation, it has always been my personal hope as an fisheries can create a vacuum that, because of an increasingly aquarist that a better understanding of where the majority of marine globalized world with fewer and fewer blank spots on the map, aquarium animals originate would lead to some aquarists using their will most certainly be filled with other resource extraction industries purchasing power to support a sustainable, equitable, and legal such as mining, logging, and other less sustainable forms of trade. To me, it is not at all unlike what commonly happens now commercial fishing. In many cases, the ensuing development will with coffee, lumber products, and seafood. These are industries be one that lessens fisher communities’ connection with marine that, while not without their issues, have all found a market share resources, as younger members of the community are lured to interested in seeing sustainability and fair trade front and center. cities with notions of employment, a mobile phone, a moped, and While some aquarists have responded to the often unpleasant the other opportunities afforded by modernity. In the worst cases, realities of marine aquarium fisheries in source countries like the environmental impacts of resource extraction at the hands of Indonesia and Philippines by advocating a trade dependent almost foreign entities with no long term stake in the area destroys the reefs wholly on captive-bred animals (much like the freshwater trade is), through destructive fishing practices, clear-cutting, or any number some of my most profound experiences throughout the smaller of other environmentally unsound practices. The end result is too developing island nations of the Indo-Pacific have led me to believe often a forced abandonment of a longstanding healthy relationship that reducing the trade’s connection to the people and reefs of the between humans and reef resources. region would be a very great loss from both an environmental and socio-economic perspective. Fishing is a way of life for many coastal villages in smaller developing island nations. Certainly fishing provides food, but I have also While the stated goal of a marine aquarium trade based solely on seen how it provides a social milieu – a complex tapestry with captive-bred animals is often to alleviate pressure on embattled threads reaching far back into past generations and deeply into reef ecosystems, I fear the wholesale elimination of marine cultural understandings of religion, philosophy, and environmental aquarium fisheries in the name of sustainability, conservation, or stewardship.

As the more remote developing island nations take their first tentative steps into global markets, there are a plethora of pitfalls WHEN CULTURES COLLIDE and perils waiting at every decision point along the road to so-called development. Sometimes these dangers arise as a result of the I once visited a village in Papua New Guinea where there were three villages in close proximity. One village was primarily focused on hunting, another on gardening, and the third, the one I visited, on fishing. Up until very recently, there was no real monetary system in any of these three villages, with transactions being almost entirely handled through bartering – fish for vegetables, vegetables for meat, meat for fish, and so on.

In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1

    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.

    Volume 19 Winter 2002 the Coral Hind, Lapu Lapu, Or Miniata

    FREE ISSN 1045-3520 Volume 19 Winter 2002 Introducing a Zonal Based Natural Photo by Robert Fenner Filtration System for Reef Aquariums by Steve Tyree Quite a few natural based filtration systems have been devised by reef aquarists and scientists in the past twenty years. Some systems utilized algae to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from the reef aquarium; others utilized sediment beds. The natural filtration system that I have been researching and designing is drastically different from both of these types. No external algae are used. I believe that all the algae a functional reef requires are already growing in the reef, even if they are not apparent. They include micro-algae, turf algae, coralline algae, single-cell algae within photosynthetic corals, and cyanobacteria with photosynthetic capabilities. Most of the systems that I have set up to research this concept have not included sediment beds. All organic matter and pollutants are recycled and processed within the system by macro-organisms. Sediment beds have not been utilized to process excess Miniata Grouper, Cephalopholis miniata organic debris, but that does not prevent other aquarists from adding them. The main concept behind my system is the use of living sponges, sea squirts, and filter feeders for filtration. Sponges consume bacteria, can reach about twenty inches in length in the wild, and dissolved and colloidal organic material, micro-plankton, The Coral Hind, Lapu about half that in captivity. It is undoubtedly the most and fine particulate matter. Sea squirts consume large Lapu, or Miniata prized member of the genus for the aquarium trade.
