November 11, 201016 yr Whenever I read things like that I always feel like something is fishy. Not that it isn't true, but one month to prepare is SO not enough time. I'm not affected by it, but I feel for the people who are.
November 18, 201015 yr This will likely jack the prices on imported fish through the roof. It is unfortunate that they want to test so MANY fish, when realistically, 10% of the number imported would likely be more than enough to test them for. This could ruin the industry of pet fish in Australia and cause a loss in the hundreds of billions. With the world economy in such a fragile state, I have to wonder about the reasoning behind this.
