But then there's the $$$ economics and enforcement. So long as consumers would like to gamble on TKLs, there'll also be Demand & hence, Supply |

which one to eradicate and purify?...guess tats a mamonth task looking for errors is simple...rectifying them will take efforts and I mean a lot of efforts Perhaps like our Doc have said...the genetics of aros may have evolved over time just like our traditional goldfish and kois...changes have been made to them either naturally or delibrately manipulated...how do we go around putting down wat constitutes "PURE" or "IMPURE"? |

but with regards to getting CITES, the farmer cannot do this mix breeding to get the CITES cert. Every parent tat's spawned has to be in AVA's books. If one has the cert but somehow its not in AVA's records, it's still not recognised and tat is a problem these farms are currently facing.

by backyard breeders, we usually meant those breeders w/o the CITES license and breed aros for sale, usually TKLs which regardless of parentage are all thrown into the same breeding pond, many of them with defects like one eye, no pectorals etc ... basically aros which have been discarded by their owners ... no QC and indiscriminate breeding however, proxy farming is a term used for hobbyists who are interested in the breeding ... as owning a farm requires very high expenditure, the hobbyists then rent a pond in a properly registered CITES farm, place in his adult aros, and try to breed ... there are QC measures in place as every harvest means AVA has to be present and all aros are accordingly tagged.
