Post PARROT FISH can be eaten, but ......

PARROT FISH can be eaten,
but ...
There are important reasons why we should not eat them and we should educate the fishermen to stop catching these beautiful fish! the ocean needs them to regenerate. They're lots of fish you can catch in the sea. They can sell and cook the other fish, but leave the parrot fish!
Here is why:
Parrotfish eat algae and dead coral*. They spend up to 90% of their day nibbling. In other words, they clean the reef. This is important because most of the reefs across the tropics are being smothered by algae because there are not enough parrotfish and other herbivores out there grazing.
After all that eating, get this: They poop fine white sand – lots of it! Each parrotfish produces up to 320 kilograms (700 pounds) of sand each year.
Their numbers are so depleted, and algae levels are so high, that they cannot be fished sustainably right now anywhere in the Caribbean. These flamboyant, algae-eating, sand-pooping fish need to be left in the water. And when they are left to chomp away, they do a brilliant job. A massive new report concludes that reefs where parrotfish were abundant in the 1980s are the reefs that are healthy now.
There is a reason for their existence so please let's not eat them ... To our Govt. Please educate our fishermen... Say no to catching parrot fish! Let's not buy parrot fish so they won't catch them anymore.

El PESCADO PARROT puede ser comido,
Pero...
Hay razones importantes por las que no debemos comerlos y debemos educar a los pescadores para que dejen de atrapar a estos hermosos peces! El océano necesita que se regeneren. Son muchos peces que puedes atrapar en el mar. Pueden vender y cocinar el otro pescado, pero dejan el pescado loro!
Aquí está el porqué:
Los peces loros comen algas y coral muerto *. Pasan hasta el 90 % de su día picando. En otras palabras, limpian el arrecife. Esto es importante porque la mayoría de los arrecifes de todo el tropicado están siendo asfixiados por algas porque no hay suficientes peces loro y otros herbívoros por ahí pastoreando.
Después de todo lo que comes, consigue esto: cagan arena blanca fina - mucho! Cada pez loro produce hasta 320 kilos (700 libras) de arena cada año.
Sus números están tan agotados, y los niveles de algas son tan altos, que no pueden ser pescados de forma sostenible en este momento en ningún lugar del Caribe. Estos extravagantes, comedores de algas, sand-caca de pescado necesitan ser dejados en el agua. Y cuando son dejados de abandonar, hacen un trabajo brillante. Un nuevo informe masivo concluye que los arrecifes donde los peces loro eran abundantes en los años 1980 son los arrecifes que están sanos ahora.
Hay una razón para su existencia así que por favor no nos los comamos... A nuestro gobierno. Por favor, educad a nuestros pescadores... Di no a la pesca de peces loros! No compremos pescado loro para que no los atrapen más.
