RVS Finds Yellow Tangs, Noble Anthias, and More at Calayan Island, Philippines​

Keen fish watchers will have seen wild-caught Yellow Tangs on the social media feeds of RVS Fishworld, along with stunning Masked Swallow Angelfish and rare Anthias. But with the Hawaii fishery still closed for collection where did the Yellow tangs come from? The answer lies 5,325 miles to the West of Hawaii, at Calayan Island, in the far North Philippines. We caught up with RVS owner Barnett Shutman to tell us more:

“After a successful net training and PADI Scuba event in Calayan Island, in cooperation with Ret. Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr., the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 2, Local Government Unit Mayor Joseph Llopis, Police Dept. and Coast Guard, we thought we’d update you with the results so far.”
