The US Government is stupid to ban farm-raised Asian Arowanas-- if they they opened the borders on Asian Arowanas with the stipulation that X number of Asian Arowanas were reintroduced to the wild, farms would most definitely give up a few batches to the wild if they could sell to America's 300 milllion people.
Use economic incentives to make changes-- not prohibitions. Yeesh...
if they allow farms to sell aros to the US, them people will still catch wild Asians, tag them and sell them.
people from canada and europe buy aros from Farms, not by poachers. So in a way by restricting sell to the US, Poachers who take wild aros, have a smaller market to sell.
