		For those at the top end of the live, reef-fish food trade the market is outrageously lucrative and the enormous sums of money involved make the risk of being caught well worth it.
		For communities that depend on reefs for their livelihoods the damage caused by this trade has long term implications-their natural resources are being mined and laid to waste.

	Coral Reefs in Crisis
		The live food fish trade is centered in Hong Kong, which imports a variety of species from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific archipelagoes at a wholesale value of $500 million per year (Lau and Parry-Jones, 1999).
		Once trade is underway, the status of the species must be monitored to ensure that it is maintained throughout its range at a level consistent with its role in the ecosystem.

		Synopsis: Cyanide fishing is responsible for damaging coral reef habitats throughout the Indo-Pacific region and is spreading quickly as fishers respond to market demand for ornamental and edible fish.
		Although imperfect -- cyanide fishing is still a great problem in the Philippines -- the CFRP provides important lessons for other countries where cyanide fishing is expanding and for the many governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international assistance agencies worldwide that have recently become concerned about the issue.
		Key to the CFRP's approach is the recognition that a cyanide-free, sustainable live fish trade should be the goal of policy, not a ban on live-fish exports (as some have advocated).

	While Stocks Last: The Live Reef Food Fish Trade - ADB.org
		Fish captured on coral reefs entered this trade only in recent years but, because of their superior taste or texture, have become the most valued fish in the trade.
		The picture that emerges from this book is extremely worrying: the LRFF trade has caused degradation of the resources on which the trade depends, and hence has to move farther and farther from the main market centers in order to continue to supply them.
		The book provides scientific evidence for the need to curb and manage the capture of wild live reef food fish, and proposes ways to help entrepreneurs and fishers reform the trade based on limiting fish capture and hatchery rearing the fish.

	Cultural links to the live reef food-fish trade: call for workshop participants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Similarities between coral-reef life forms and mythical creatures appear to be the origin of today’s practice of consuming hand-picked live reef-fish; the gourmet seeks public recognition of his private link between material affluence and benign celestial support.
		By choosing a live reef fish, ordering it to be prepared according to a culturally-acknowledged recipe and consuming the dish with appropriate manners, the consumer takes part in an ancient performance, viz.
		It thus appears to be the cultural image of special kinds of coral-reef life forms which lead to the live reef food-fish trade, with its environmentally-destructive consequences.

	NOAA News Online (Story 2625)
		Although illegal in most countries, the use of cyanide to capture reef fish alive is widespread, and is driven by the lucrative, growing and largely unregulated international trade in live reef food fish and marine aquarium industry.
		Previous studies estimate that most live reef fish entering into international trade and imported into the U.S. are collected with the use of cyanide, and thus are illegal.
		Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, 61 countries and the European Commission to develop a global network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.
