RnB Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 was a diff place, maybe it was a mexico based one...... but this gives a good example of the scale of operation.......... Reefing is a huge hobby $$$ wise I think $200 mill in livestock PA globally has been quoted....... any feeling for how big the NZ market is? its my guess at retail level, about 3-400 k but could easily be double that I guess.......

RnB Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think most of us would, in the book the aurther states that tank raised clowns are a better choice if you want to bred yourself as well. Some of the advantages noted are; known age.. size is not always a good age indicater in wild caught fish quality.. if the breeder culls ahrd you are getting quality fish. conservation...

lduncan Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Reefing is a huge hobby $$$ wise I think $200 mill in livestock PA globally has been quoted....... Last I read, I think it is estimated at around $500M. I would not call that huge in dollar terms by any means. It IS huge in the number of fish taken from reefs however.

Pegasus Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Don't know if it's any help guys, but Cees said on the NZ Website Forum.... http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewto ... 2367#52367 A way to support this site is to go through the link below to buy your books at amazon.com. A small percentage of your purchase will flow back to this site Does anyone buy books at amazon at all? I'm thinking about setting up an amazon affiliate store dedicated to fish and aquarium books. Do the digging/searching/reviewing for you in one convenient place. Worthwhile ?? Perhaps you could get together to make up an order and get a decent price..? Bill.
