Sullied seas : strategies for combating cyanide fishing in Southeast Asia and beyond, 1997:foreword (since the 1960s, more than a million kilograms of deadly sodium cyanide has been squirted onto coral reefs in the Philippines to stun and capture ornamental aquarium fish. More recently a growing demand for larger reef food-fish has vastly increased the incidence and spread of cyanide-fishing)

The horrific way fish are caught for your aquarium--with cyanide, via National Geographic website, March 10, 2016, viewed on July 30, 2018(Up to 90 percent of saltwater aquarium fish imported to the U.S. are caught using cyanide; A full 98 percent of species of saltwater fish currently can't be bred in captivity on a commercial scale. They must instead be taken from ocean reefs. Most of the time, with sodium cyanide; Sodium cyanide is crushed and dissolved in squirt bottles to spray on the fish--and the reef and all the other marine life in the vicinity; cyanide use on reefs is seriously problematic; Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia have all banned cyanide fishing, yet it still happens on a large scale)
