How many fish die for each sold?

This article on the supply chain details why many fish die on the way to the suppliers. Seems like liveaquaria is more aware of the conservation issues.

Somehow I omitted the link to the article but yes that was it. The article is entitled "An Inside Look at the Marine Fish Industry: Collection and Handling". It would seem liveaquaria is more aware of the whole issue of reef conservation and tries ot deal with responsible suppliers.
