Captive raised or ocean farmed

[Dearth]

Multiple choice

This seems to be a regular topic and somewhat Of a contensious issue amoung various SW hobbyists

What would you rather have in your tank corals and fish that have been aquarium raised

Or

Would you rather have ocean farmed corals and fish in your tank

Please comment

If I could, I would prefer Captive BRED over any of those options. As I know people still use the word captive raised for a WC specimen ( be it egg or larvae or other youngins) that was brought up in a tank and then sold.
And aquarium raised corals preferably.

However I know most of the fish in my tank were likely WC (except the clowns)

If you want to have some kind of guide to making somewhat more responsible choices of wild caught fish you can use fish base.org and check their resilience and vulnerability estimates to help make fish choices. Scroll down each fish page towards the bottom to see numbers.

This one looks ok:

Not as good:

Are you asking - ocean farmed or wild harvested?

Was supposed to be tank raised or ocean caught but I messed up the wording
