EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the inside of a fish restaurant in Borneo, specifically in Sabah on the island of Borneo. The restaurant specializes in live fish for sale, offering a unique dining experience to its patrons. However, behind this seemingly picturesque scene lies a dark truth about the destructive fishing practices associated with the live reef fish trade. The image showcases an indoor setting where various marine species are kept captive in tanks for commercial purposes. Unfortunately, this industry often resorts to harmful methods such as using cyandine to stun and capture these beautiful creatures alive. As a result, it causes significant damage to delicate reef communities. While this photograph highlights the reality of the live animal trade and its impact on marine life conservation efforts, it also serves as a reminder that there is still work to be done. It calls upon us all to reflect on our choices as consumers and advocates for sustainable practices within the food industry. Located in East Malaysia's Sabah region, this fish restaurant represents just one aspect of Borneo's diverse ecosystem and economy. By shedding light on these issues through powerful visuals like this print by SCUBAZOO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY from Science Photo Library, we can hope for increased awareness and positive change towards protecting our precious reefs and their inhabitants.
