The Sustainable Aquatic Industries Association (SAIA), in an attempt to help aquarists make better choices for themselves and for the reefs have launched FishSelector.
The problem according to SAIA is:
“We are constantly encountering the topic of oversized fish being kept in tanks that are too small, whether in public aquaria, in discussions on web forums or amongst hobbyists. Such discussions are quite often emotional but rarely effective. Included in our commitments is an undertaking to provide guidance on size-related organism selection and the encouragement of appropriate customer advice by retailers.”
“The FishSelector aims to sensitise the aquarium hobbyist and retailer to an ethical and sustainable way of selecting organisms and stocking a tank, thus avoiding impulse buying.”
