| It's very good news that these magnificent fish are being protected. I've been lucky enough to see quite a few of these during my time in Fiji and they really are beautiful. Saw a juvenile one at Elphinstone as we were swimming back along the reef wall, he'd swim above us, turning on it's side and playing in the bubbles.
During one of the breaks in the project in Fiji we headed over to Australia and went out one night for a meal at a chinese restaurant, further down the street was a restaurant where the entire front window was packed with small fish tanks, each containing far too many fish and in one small tank was a Humphead Wrasse. The tank was shorter than the fish and the water was murky, the poor fish looked in a really bad way - how on earth could anyone think that it was going to make a nice meal?
Did anyone else notice the picture in the article? A very good article highlighting the plight of an endangered species and then they highlight it with a picture of someone stroking the fish.
How many times do people need to be told DON'T TOUCH THE FISH!
