What a lovely colour they are and their profiles are kind of cute! Pity though that these attributes lead to them being captured for the aquarium trade.
There are a lot of tangs. The yellow ones are very popular for aquariums, but the don’t breed in captivity, so all of them have to be collected from the wild, most of them in Hawaii.

They don’t breed in captivity either, so all aquarium Yellow Tangs are taken from the wild, mostly Hawaii.

I don’t think people catch them for food. They’re pretty skinny and small.

They are so colourful, a bright yellow. The ones at the back won’t get much to eat

They’re the fish that people see from the shore, as they often hang out in shallow waters.

I am sure Dad had Tangs in his marine aquarium but don’t think they were yellow 🤔
