EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unfortunate reality of the endangered Humphead wrasse being sold at a restaurant in Sabah, located on the beautiful island of Borneo. The image sheds light on the alarming live reef fish trade, which often employs destructive fishing practices that harm delicate reef communities. The Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) is a magnificent marine creature highly sought after in this industry. However, its capture involves using cyanide to stun and catch them alive, causing significant damage to their natural habitats. This unsustainable practice threatens not only these remarkable fish but also the entire ecosystem they inhabit. Displayed within an indoor tank, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility towards conservation and zoology. It highlights how commercial interests can jeopardize marine life and emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable alternatives in Malaysia's food industry. By capturing this moment through their lens, SCUBAZOO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY aims to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of such practices while advocating for better protection measures for these vulnerable species. Let us reflect upon this poignant image and strive towards creating a future where wildlife thrives harmoniously with human activities – one where we prioritize responsible commerce over short-term gains.
