    I suppose it was to be expected. The article makes it sound like it's only temporary, though.

    Since there is little funding for the study required it's far more than temporary.

    I guess Hawaiian aquarium enthusiasts are out of luck then.

    Just out of curiosity, would you say this is a good thing or a bad thing? Or maybe a little of both? I've seen some good points on both sides of the argument.

    This is a bad thing. The Hawaiian fishery is/was one of the best regulated in the world. This ruling was made with no regard to the scientific studies that have been done over the years.
