Each of three groups of 15 fish was kept in 1 m3 tanks, containing brackish water at 10° C. Individual biting activity was continuously monitored using a PIT-tag (Passive Integrated Transponders) system with unique individual codes. The accuracies of the bite detection system were 91, 93.1 and 99.5% respectively, in the three tanks.

In all tanks, most of the individuals (12–14) bit on the releasing trigger a few times during the first 3 days. Thereafter, one or two individuals per tank accounted for almost all of the biting activity. This pronounced shift in bite-number distribution among individuals was probably due to the development of a dominance hierarchy, in which the dominant individuals monopolized the trigger. Growth rates appeared to be highest among high ranking fish. The implications of using demand feeding and PIT-tag devices in feeding studies are discussed.

Staff from Australia's Flinders University and the University of Queensland have launched a campaign to inform people of the potential effects of the wild fish trade.

That's because most ornamental fish are not bred in captivity. About 90 percent to 95 percent of the marine fish found in an aquarium shop were caught from the wild, according to a report by ABC. Since the new movie's predecessor, "Finding Nemo," came out in 2003, wild populations of clownfish such as Nemo have dropped as demand for them in U.S. pet stores soared, according to ABC. In addition to reducing populations, practices used to catch wild fish can harm reefs. For example, while the practice is illegal in many countries, fishers sometimes use sodium cyanide mixtures to stun fish and make them easier to catch, according to National Geographic. While some clownfish are bred in captivity, blue tangs are not. The blue tangs' offspring are born helpless, lacking mouth, eyes and more, and researchers have struggled to figure out how to raise them, National Geographic said. In addition, collecting them from the wild can involve breaking coral. But there is some good news. 

Researchers of late have successfully bred the yellow tang, which spawns in the same way, so advances for blue tangs could come soon, National Geographic said.fish tanks for sale asda Still, scientists don't want all aquarium species to be bred completely in captivity. mario fish tank for saleThat creates its own risks, as when non-native species are released to the wild and become invasive.cheap aquariums for sale sydney For now, the Australian researchers have created The Saving Nemo Foundation, to breed clownfish in captivity in hopes of lessening pressure on wild stocks and raise awareness. fish tank decorations wholesale
