         |  Japan emperor's woe over US fish Poor guy. I'd feel bad too. EDIT - And a lesson for all aquarium enthusiasts! "Japan's Emperor Akihito has said he "feels pained" that he introduced an aggressive non-native species of fish to Japan nearly 50 years ago. Several bluegill fish were given to the emperor during a visit to the US. He hoped the fish could be bred for food but some escaped from research centres and have now spread through Japan, threatening native species.

 | I still worry every day that this hobby is going to shut down due to Jaubert's original mistake with Caulerpa taxifolia at the Monaco Aquarium. There's a lot we learned from his plenum. But in the end, I'm not sure he will be remembered well due to the Caulerpa killing reefs elsewhere. It reminds me of something I learned in Junior High shop. Measure TWICE and cut once. It is better to think ahead. |

I thought the irony there was that Cousteau was involved in that. | |

Two years later marine biologist Alexandre Meinesz discovered the alga in nature, under the windows of this celebrated building." caulerpa taxifolia fact sheet I see Jaubert's fingerprints on numerous photos and papers but I've yet to see the direct connection here. | |
