The first route a orginization that was not economicly tied to the "Industry" would do is stop bringing in animals that can be tank raised.
The AZA dosen't promote tank raised only, public aquariums are filled with wild caught animals.

Steve maybe you could further explain how you have come to a working knowledge of what AZA facilities are promoting and trying to achieve. I can not remember you being so schooled in this subject when we were at Butches and I was showing you the projects that Ivy and I had taken place in?
Here maybe this can help www.aza.org
I would love to hear about this.
Perhaps you could explain the stud book process and how almost all animals that are captive breed are from raised stock, the only exceptions being the founders and also "New blood" so as not to skewer the gene pool.
