Big Island couple ordered to pay record fines for illegal aquarium fishing - KHON2

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Two aquarium fishers on the Big Island were fined on Friday relating to an illegal aquarium fishing incident in Kona last year.

Husband and wife, Stephen Howard and Yukako Toriyama, were ordered to pay $272,000 in civil fines for fishing and boating violations that took place in September 2020. These are record fines for these types of violations, according to the DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources.

In September, DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) officers  received a tip that Howard was seen launching his boat from the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor and was fishing within the West Hawaii Regional Fishery Management Area. 

Howard left two female divers in open water during the incident — one of them was Toriyama, DLNR said in news release. The other diver told DOCARE investigators that Howard had dropped them to dive and collect fish, and when they surfaced, his boat was gone.

Howard had been ordered by enforcement officers to return to shore, and when the female divers were not seen, a multi-agency marine search and rescue operation ensued. The search was called off after the women were spotted later that day with their dive gear at a gas station in Kona.

DLNR said the diver helped officers locate the aquarium fish that Howard and Toriyama caught: 235 fish of ten different species. All of the fish were returned to the ocean. 

Howard was fined for sixteen fishing and boating violations. Toriyama was fined for nine Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) violations. The total retail value of the fish they collected is estimated at $24,730. Howard and Toriyama are also facing criminal charges in Hawaii District Court.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
