2025 • E19 May 9, 2025 2h 30m
SciCast delves into the fascinating universe of these species that enchant people around the world. However, behind this beauty, there is a significant eco-social cost. Rampant exploitation, the lack of captive breeding and the impact on biodiversity are urgent issues that need to be discussed. We talk about how aquarium keeping affects freshwater and saltwater ecosystems, as well as exploring the working conditions of the communities involved in collecting these fish. In addition, we discuss the role of governments and what can be done to make this industry more sustainable.
