NMFS concludes:
Considering the estimated proportion of the population
harvested annually, the principles of fisheries management and
population growth, the ease and popularity of captive propagation of the
species, and the apparent consumer preference for captively-reared fish
for home aquaria, we have determined that overutilization due to
collection for the aquarium trade has a low likelihood of contributing
significantly to the extinction risk of the orange clownfish now or in
the foreseeable future.
