Re: Wild Palms
Here is an example :
We have a very rare fish here . It is a beautiful type of minnow found in a very small body of water . If one ( or a group ) were to mass produce this fish in aquariums it would probably survive in the wild . Folks could continue to reproduce this fish to supply all of the market demands .
As it is now , the fish is being caught and illegally exported to europe in fairly large numbers . I tried to make a count of this fish 2 years ago and could not find it at all . If a cooperative were to follow procedures and introduce this fish to commercial production it would stand a fair chance . When folks take more than are being produced (in the wild , conditions do not facilitate mass production ) populations become exploited beyond repair .
