The World Resources Institute (WRI) determined that approximately 20% of the live fish traded on the Philippine market in 1996 were caught using cyanide; assuming this is reflective of southeast Asian practice as a whole, environmental engineer David Dzombak estimates that 12,000 to 14,000 short tons (10,710 to 12,500 long tons; 10,890 to ...
The live fish trade for food sees the use of cyanide fishing to capture fish. [5] It has also had a direct impact on leopard coral grouper populations. This species is slow-growing, and its exploitation has been linked to localized decreases in average body size. [90] The ornamental fish trade also uses cyanide fishing to capture live fish. The ...
The live food trade usually uses hook-and-line techniques, but the use of cyanide fishing is also known. [9] Data is limited, but it is thought the catch of live fish was around 200,000 kilograms (440,000 lb) in 1994 and 800,000 kilograms (1,800,000 lb) in 1997, of which 95% was exported, although this period also saw localized declines.

The reef area is 51,020 square kilometers. Of that amount, 82% of it is at risk. Indonesia holds 17% of the world's total coral reef areas. Blast fishing, which has been illegal since 1985 still goes on today, along with cyanide fishing (1995). Another factor that is hurting the coral reefs in Indonesia is the amount of coral that they export.
It is estimated that 4,000 or more Filipino fish collectors have used over 1,000,000 kilograms (2,200,000 lb) of cyanide on Philippine reefs alone, about 150,000 kg per year. [16] A major catalyst of cyanide fishing is poverty within fishing communities. In countries like the Philippines that regularly employ cyanide, more than thirty percent ...
