[edit] Name
I have never heard of it referred to as Percula clownfish. The Amphiprion genus is usually referred to as clownfish or anemonefish, along with the entire family Pomacentridae. The only common names listed on www.itis.gov (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) are blackfinned clownfish, clown anemonefish, clownfish, and orange clownfish. No other fish is listed under the orange clownfish so I'm going to change the name if no one objects. If so I guess you can revert it back or discuss it more here.

I forgot I would have to make a new page with the common name. I cut and paste, but the history is not retained. I replaced the link on the clownfish page too. If anyone has any objections you can change it back, but I'm just trying to keep the standard common names.Esoxid (talk) 03:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Collection permit increase
I emailed someone at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and got the numbers for collection permits. They are as follows:
| Fiscal Year | Permits Issued |
|---|---|
| 06/07 | 91 |
| 05/06 | 84 |
| 04/05 | 98 |
| 03/04 | 102 |
| 02/03 | 90 |
| 01/02 | 96 |
| 00/01 | 113 |
The woman I contacted told me a more detailed breakdown into categories could be investigated but would require fees and paperwork under the freedom of information act. These numbers don't seem significant enough to merit the sentence in the article about the numbers of permits in relation to the movie Finding Nemo. The information was sent to me from Margaret Stokes: (Margaret Stokes Permit Systems Manager Environmental Impact Management Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority
