Hi all
Ok a very simple question, i'm looking at feeding the fish on my house reef to promote growth and increase the amount of fish there are. We have fish men that are further away from the reef that don't fish where divers dive. I thought if at least we feed the fish to increase the number of fish it has to be good for everyone.
Please don't just give a yes or no answer, I want to know the reasons for and against.
It seems that its an old world diver idea to feed the fish. But its been beaten out of divers by agencies like PADI saying you shouldn't do anything to the ocean.... I think this idea is counter productive. We (humans) are way over fishing in our oceans, and now doing nothing to help them recover.
I have the idea that i could freeze house brick sized fish cut offs and place them in a submerged barrel with small holes in that way the smaller animals of the ocean could benefit the most there for increasing the food chain.
Cheers
Wil
