Many people in this comment section are very ignorant. All I see are comments saying " don't take parrotfish" or "the fish are too small". First of all, taking these juvinile fish are better because they are not the big reproducers of the species, chances are, many of them will already not make it to reproduction age because of natural causes, taking these smaller fish is more beneficial to the population than removing a larger already reproductively active fish. 2nd of all, taking a few parrotfish will not harm the reef. Most of you supposedly "knowledgeable" eco-friendly commenters don't even realize that literally all the fish in this video are extremely beneficial to the reef. Plus, the species of parrotfish that he is harvesting does not grow larger like the whiptails or humphead parrotfish. Another comment I see alot is that people are talking about him touching coral. While putting pressure on coral is not suggested, it is not the worst thing in the world. I mean think about it, parrotfish eat alot of coral and they also can break it when fitting into a small crevice to sleep. This can actually be good for the coral as it gives it a chance to grow a larger and healthier piece and also can replace a damaged part of coral. So all I ask is that you try to educate yourself a bit more before commenting similar things on another person's video. I certainly don't know everything and I try to be careful when commenting on another person's video but no one is perfect. Thank you.
@@reyanthonyyape4773 🐟 is 🐟 i get it but coral are very infortant to the fish jst as your 🏠 to you....i pretty much grow up fishing no tell me go buy em in the 🐟 market bc i know how to 🐟 all kind of 🎣
@T tier MICO so I should buy fish like tuna and Marlin from markets as they have little to no impact on our Reefs and beaches? Yes I should support mass netting of these fish that is leading them to extinction? Commercial fishing that catches huge amounts of bycatch like Marine mammals and sharks? Yes I would know that spearfishing is the most sustainable way of harvesting fish and it produces no bycatch. The reasoning that you are using makes no sense because all organisms in the ocean play a crucial part to it's balance and the natural ecosystem. Every fish is important, no matter if it is a shark that could bite you or a small parrotfish that creates sand. Please realize that the sustainable and responsible harvesting methods that this man is using contributes to ocean health, it doesn't take away from it.
@T tier MICO I do get your analogy but it simply does not apply to the situation. The big predators like tuna are being overfished with horrible netting techniques which is why it is beneficial to have this small scale harvest of diverse reef species. That is what I have been trying to explain. This technique of spearfishing produces zero by-catch, is extremely sustainable and is key to diversifying the diet. It helps to keeps all the populations healthy without putting intense pressure on a single species.
Yokwe, thank you for capturing the way we hunt at night. Man this brings back memories of spearfishing with my cousins in Pohnpei. Hopefully one day I can experience the Marshall waters too.
If you are a diver you could see every square foot of the sea has lots of Parrotfishes around and Trillions of Trillions of them in the sea, because they reproduce so fast and here you only harvest few for family survival or for a cause. Not bad to take some when it is for your kitchen needs, it just like taking the life of any animals you want for trophy but them to has part to do in our eco system.
@@netanskizelensky9940 because him only harvesting these juvinile parrotfish, and only a select few, he is being very sustainable, harvesting a variety of fish instead of only focusing on one species allows for a healthy reef. And you obviously are not very knowledgeable about the specific interactions between fish and the reef as you only stated to save the parrotfish when all the fish he speared in this video help maintain the balance of the reef, please respect this man as his family eats everything he catches. I am from Hawaii and Polynesians have been doing this for centuries. They respect the animals they hunt.
@@tbone-ko4qv i think you are not knowlegeable about parrotfish.you better do your research.i. fact in some countries, it is prohibited to get them.not all fish are good ocean cleaners that is why you have to spare them.

Please, spare the parrot fish sir! Parrot fish is very important for the corals, it give sustainable in the coral reef by eating the algae of corals. Please do some research before angaging for those some sea creatures. And please educate ur colleagues! Btw, I'm also a spearfisher and freediver. Good luck and have a safe dive always!
There are some places probably that Parrotfishes are being spared, but here in the Marshall Islands you can't do your protest, if you could dive else where you know it swarming parrotfishes are around and multiplying by billions, and some of us take only few for a living, too many people lean on their lives at sea creatures and if you are a free diver you should see their population it seems intact, what about the hump head parrotfishes are they an algae eater? Too many Parrotfishes serves as coral predators you harvested few they will reproduce and multiply by billions, your life is a lot heavier than a fish life. They were created by God for us to survive my friend.
It's actually a floating cooler brotha. I bought it in amazon, if you used to dive at night where sharks are plenty and prowling you ought to have one of it for your safety.
Thanks for your concern, but if you live in the island and seeing the underwater world you'll realize such a protest is just a sort of human ideology. Parrotfishes reproduce so fast, and in a matter of weeks they can populate a part of the sea and when you harvest few of them it'll be replaced by thousands.
Do you spear fish only in shallow water 10 to 15ft? Is it because you can get away quickly if sharks come? I'm guessing there are larger fish in deeper water but it's more dangerous.°~°
At night we do spearfishing in only a shallow part of the reef from 5ft, depth to 40ft depth regardless sharks. As a night diver I found out any sharks aren't threat to diver when you know how to communicate with them, but of course never to take advantage they're all wild animals unpredictable and you can't trust them in anyways. One thing I found out if any presence of shark just light them up with LED flashlight direct to the eyes and sharks hates it they quickly go away from it.
That I can't toss any suggestion my friend, but if you love spearfishing you'll disregard those fish, they too hunting fish at night, but you must not mingle with them when they got into your place, never shot any fish vibration turn them out into demon, light up their eyes directly with LED flashlight they will surely go.

No Coral has been destroyed in there my friend, the one you've seen moved grew in the sandy area and I put it back to its normal position before leaving the area. I am a coral protector as well and I don't like stepping on it whenever I dive.

I didn't destroyed any coral in there brotha, the one you've seen moved was placed back to its position before I left the area. unfortunately it grew in a sandy part of the reef and that easily moved but it was ok and never got any part broken. Thank for advice anyways.
I used to hunt specifically for parrot fishes.. they are ideal fish for soup.. On consumed on a daily basis, then that's bad.. on this case he happened to see only three.. i dont suspect him to fish for parrot fish everyday tho.. So you guys, stop nagging over three parrot fishes.. Besides, the guy left the small ones alone.. Good vid bro
Hey Bro, is there any existing law that forbid anybody to catch parrot fish? I read too many of you protesting but never put article of the law about it. If there's no law that forbid catching parrot fish you all have no right to make protest against anybody catching those fish for they are doing it for a living. Your protest are all nonsense, parrot fish are coral predators, coral is important than sand get educated about the real identity of the parrot fish.
Thanks for your concern brotha, but me too I don't like breaking corals whenever I dive. I even don't step on them as much as possible depend on the situation, the coral you seen in the video moved, was in fact separated from other coral in the sandy area so easy to get moved, and I put it back to position before I left the area.
I never destroyed any coral in there bro... Nor wanna step upon it whenever I dive, I care for the corals as well. The one you've seen moved was placed back to its normal position before I leave the area, we live through it and it's our duty to take care of it, anyways thanks for your concern.
Live in your ideology and die in hunger my friend, a lot of parrotfishes serves as coral predators, then turn them out to sand, I do live as a diver not a researcher, researchers believe in theory not in actual life, too many fish eating algae but only Parrot fishes you are in concern, what about those garbage being dump by human in every minute at sea who else of you doing some concern about it? Trillions of Parrotfishes live in the sea and multiply in minutes by trillions as well, and here some of us harvest only few for a living and here you go like an idiot living for such a crap ideology? What about the Mullet, Milkfish, rabbitfishes and other reef fishes that are eating algae too what are your thoughts on them? .
