Can someone explain why it is that the pet trade threatens the clownfish existence? What I read here was (a) changing ecology temps threaten them in the wild and (b) within the last 15 years where captive bred clownfish were at 0%, in 2008 50% of all clownfish ARE captive bred. Am I missing something here? This arcitle should read "Breeders save Nemo from the edge of extinction". Typical NEWS journalism.
