It’s nice to start off the new year with yet another aquacultured marine fish species:  juvenile Koran Angel (Pomacanthus semicirculatus). Read the official press release from Quality Marine.

The majority of species released into new, non-native areas either are not able to establish within the introduced range, or are able to establish but do not cause significant damage. However, a small percentage of these introductions become established and cause severe environmental and economic damage; these are referred to as invasive species. In the marine environment, accidental release through the ballast water exchange of oceangoing vessels has traditionally been cited as the most likely pathway for marine species
