Mary,
As far as your "MUST READ ARTICLE- Alternatives to the destructive techniques of the food fishing industry. Why can't the aquarium industry start doing the same thing???" I think the aquarium industry has a few success stories like this already out there.
Here is a feel good article that I really like on saving the giant clam population in Tonga by creating clam sancuatries:

The intial project was done in 1986 and there is some follow up information in the article as well. This seems like an excellent prototype to follow, however greed is a very strong characteristic in many people and sustainable harvesting is still the exception and not the norm.
Still a very interesting article though.
FWIW, Nathan
