This article is about the aquarium fishing industry and how there may be a possibility of over harvesting in the Florida Keys. There is a debate going on among scientists as to whether aquariums may be asking too much from the environment. Most of their attractions come from the Keys and, although the fishing is highly regulated, there may be a chance of over fishing. One side of the argument is that the fishing is so regulated that nothing could possibly go wrong. This I think is naive, most of the animals harvested there have very little information known about them, including their reproductive cycles. Even if they are highly regulated if, hypothetically, one species every female reproduces every 3-5 years that would take a lot of time for the species to recover from harvesting. This could very well be the case and no one would know. I think there just needs to be more research on the actual animals being harvested so we know for sure we aren't hurting the environment.
