Som du kan läsa i texten så är det dock flera "prominenta" personer och institutioner inblandade i det hela så sannolikheten är rätt hög att pengarna kommer till stor nytta.
The total for Sweden is now $275.
I have e-mailed the guys in Malawi and they said they will get some photos coming weekend (they have to work in their free time). So, I hope I can get some fresh news next week.

Det behöver ju inte bara vara på försäljning av ciklider, utan all fisk, och det ska vara upp till kunden. Personalen frågar helt enkelt i kassan om man med sitt köp vill bevara Malaicikliderna. Det blir ju även goodwill för butiken.
Kjell, du har väl många kontakter hos butiker så att du kunde hjälpa till att få ut information t.ex.

Dear Friends,
We have some great news regarding the fund raising for the ANDs. During
the American Cichlid Association convention in Atlanta about $4000 was
collected for the SM Grant Fund! The ACA itself donated $1000 and another $1000 check was received from the Greater Chicago Cichlid Associated. The bulk of the donations were raised by the Babes In The Cichlid Hobby (BITCH) who had permanent collection jars with posters attached. Those jars collected about $800, but during the banquet the ladies raised about $1200 during a 15 minutes fund raising razzia.
From the internet donations we have raised about $700 with the bulk from hobbyists in Sweden! The Scandinavian Cichlid Association is preparing for an even grander fund raising event; I'll keep you posted.
Alan Pitman, the man behind the realization of the ANDs around the Maleri
islands, has sent me an update on the sections of the islands' shoreline that are now protected. Please find attached the map of the area with protected coastline marked in black. Last weekend there was another fundraising event, in Malawi: A Day at the Races. Please find attached the poster.
Thank you all again for your commitments.
Enjoy your cichlids!

Just back from Malawi where, together with 9 other enthusiasts, I saw the ANDs in action! Once you go diving and try to find them without GPS data you´ll have a hard time seeing a single one underwater! Fortunately Alan was there to show us at least one of the devices and after swimming for quite a bit I found another one. Nevertheless, 6 of them are present in the small bay at Nakantenga Island where 7 other SCUBA divers were swimming around.
Afterwards we visited Alan in his recently completed lodge and discussed the future of Malawi cichlid conservation. Alan said that the ANDs were doing their duty and most local fishermen would not ply their nets within 100 m of the shore of the islands. Nets are costly and the ANDs are very effective. Of the about 150 placed so far two were found removed by cutting (grinding on the rocks) of the steel cable that keeps the device afloat. Some fishermen, however, resorted to fishing with longlines but this should not worry us much regarding the mbuna as they stay close to the rocks and unlikely swim up to the baited hooks on the lines. Nevertheless, when found within the 100 m park zone all fishermen will be chased or arrested.
Two months ago Pennstate transferred the first $5000 to Waterlands and pipes and steel cable were purchased. Nigel is currently cutting and welding another 100 ANDs which need to be placed soon. Since Alan has a busy schedule he can only work on the ANDs on Saturdays and we thought of a way of helping him place the devices. Therefore we are looking for someone who would devote about three months of his time and assist Alan placing the new ANDs. Alan and I will supply the ticket (not paid for by the fund) and the "intern" will have free stay in Malawi, most of the time in the lodge on Nankoma Island. The only requirement Alan has is that the person be a certified SCUBA diver. There will be dive tanks and compressor available and the intern can dive/snorkel as much as he wants (as long as the ANDs get placed of course).
Another problem recently presented itself which is China; the Chinese are buying up all scrap metal in the world, even in Malawi, and now it is difficult to find material for anchoring the ANDs. Alan just told me that he secured a number of car wrecks which will be shipped to the lake where Nigel can cut usable pieces that can serve as heavy anchors (too heavy to be lifted out of the water by fishermen standing in their canoes/boats). He is also going to try other ways of anchoring the ANDs.
I was also pleased to see that there are still thousands of cichlids at Nakantenga. I have included some photos (on web). The visibility was not very good as they had had already the first rains of the season. If we find someone interested in working at the Maleri island he can also inventory the various dive spots so that we get some data on the actual situation. For the moment it looks great. Larry Johnson, who was there a few weeks earlier, even thought he found new species at the Maleris! He hadn´t seen some of the species before which were now evident.
Another great news is that various clubs around the world and even stores have held events that generated large sums of money. Craig Morfitt of the Bermuda Fry-Angle Aquarium Society wrote:
The Bermuda Fry-Angle A.S. held our Annual Tropical Fish Show over the past couple of days. On Friday, at our Awards Night, we held a successful charity fish auction thanks to an assortment of fish that were donated by Dan Woodland who was the judge for the show.
The selected charity for the auction was the Lake Malawi anti-netting initiative. I'm pleased to say that the club has decided to make a donation of $1,500 towards this worthy cause!
The Scandinavian cichlid association has an ongoing fund-generating program and up to now has donated $782!
Christophe Barale, who owns the store Paradise Malawi Cichlids in France, held an auction benefiting Malawi cichlids and donated $720 to the fund!
THANKS TO YOU ALL!! Without your input and generosity many Malawi cichlid species will not be there 20 years from now!
Enjoy your cichlids!

I had temporarily suspended the donate button of the Stuart M. Grant Fund because there were problems finding a new owner for the facilities on Maleri Islands. In the meantime we have found a new owner who is willing and ready to continue to produce and place the anti netting devices. I'll be in Malawi in May to meet with the new team and will report on the developments in June when I've returned. I have just reinstated the donate button and I thank you already in advance for your generosity.
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Dear defender of Malawi cichlids![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]With the sale of the Maleri Island concession to Dimitri (Jimmy) and Chris Giannakis of Farmers World, Malawi, we were lucky to have engaging new owners who are anxious to protect Malawi fish. About a month ago I was in Malawi and met twice with Dimitri who also had the same idea as I had: to make much more durable ANDs that would function easily 10, perhaps more than 25 years in the lake. When I inspected a few of the ANDs last year at Nakantenga Island I was disappointed to see how quickly they had deteriorated. Worse, local fishermen now were trying their nets again as they noticed that many of the ANDs were either lost or, more likely, had sunk to the bottom where they are ineffective. We decided to construct a new type of AND from thick-walled PVC and stainless steel. PVC is locally available and Dimitri has made already a prototype using a 60 cm long pipe with a diameter of 10 cm. Both ends have glued-on caps and two stainless steel collars. The top collar has 4 hooks, to catch the nets, and the bottom collar has two eyelets to tie the anchor line (4 mm stainless steel cable). The whole construction with up to 10 m anchor cable has plenty of buoyancy so we will not see slowly sinking ANDs anymore. The PVC is blue (one of the two colors available in Malawi) which is impossible to see from a boat when the ANDs are tied up about 5 m below the surface.
[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]A second lucky strike we got when Leon du Plessis, a dive instructor who runs a dive school in Senga Bay (Wamwai), offered to place the ANDs. He suggested that, instead of hauling rocks from the island, drill holes, tie the AND, and then haul the whole contraption to its final resting site, the holes should be drilled underwater with a pneumatic drill. If everything goes to plan he will have divers who are in need of 50-60 dives for their certification as dive master, 30-40 dives of which are just to build up experience and not part of the training. During such non-training dives he will have these divers drill holes in the rocks and anchor the ANDs at specific places around the island. We found out that you can run a pneumatic drill from a SCUBA tank and the idea is that a diver goes down with a double tank of which one is used to drill 1-2 holes in a rock. A stainless steel lug bolt is inserted in the rock and the anchor cable of the AND attached. I have bought already the drill but will try it out at home if all works underwater before I send it off to Malawi.
[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]Anxious to do more for the environment Leon also offered to start replanting the sandy area along the east coast of the main island. Over the years beach seines (illegal on the islands of course) have taken out all vegetation. On the other side of the island there are still a few clumps of Vallisneria and from there he is going to replant Bata Bay, as the small bay along the east coast is called. Before putting any new plants in he is going to place some large rocks strategically on the sandy bottom so that nets cannot be moved over the plants. This work he will start first as we are in the process of getting quotes on the stainless steel material for the ANDs in South Africa and then the contraptions have to be welded and put together.
[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]In cooperation with Dimitri, Leon is planning a minimum-impact dive camp on the main island (the lodge is on Nankoma, the second largest island of the group) near Bata Bay. To have a camp site right there where work is needed will be beneficial to the project and volunteers can also stay at this camp on Maleri Island.
[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman]For almost 18 months the project had been in limbo during which local fishermen realized that fishing was at some places again possible. Since Parks found that something had to be done in the interim they recently installed a team of guards (paid by Parks & Wildlife) with a boat at the islands. We decided to also support these men by providing fuel so that they can continue to make their daily inspection rounds. In this way we are going to protect the cichlids with a two-pronged approach and when Leon will be successful in replanting Bata Bay also that will drastically increase the nursery grounds for many utaka found at the Maleri islands. Pennstate has more than $12,000 ready to be sent to Malawi and these funds will go towards the purchase of the material necessary to make 200 stainless steel ANDs.

malawijanne skrev:Jag tycker den atrikeln var väldigt vinklad.
Och den glömde det viktigaste argumentet för att hålla odlat istället för vildfångat, jag klistrar in ett stycke från artikeln som beskriver varför vi ska använda odlat istället för vildfångat.
[FONT=arial]Några exempel där det kan vara mer lämpligt med odlade fiskar är
[/FONT][FONT=arial]- Arter som i naturen bara återfinns på svårtillgängliga platser, vilket innebär extremt långa transporter, är lämpliga att odla[/FONT]
[FONT=arial]- Arter som är transportkänsliga är lämpliga för odling[/FONT]
[FONT=arial]- Arter som är mycket ovanliga i naturen bör odlas[/FONT]
[FONT=arial]- En annan positiv aspekt är att odlare får en ökad kunskap om hur fiskar skall hållas på ett bra sätt, en kunskap som de kan vidarebefordra, vilket i sin tur leder till att fiskar kan få ett längre och bättre liv (denna kunskap kommer ju även till nytta för vildfångade fiskar i akvarium)
[/FONT][FONT=arial]- Odling i allmänhet är positiv för hobbyn eftersom det gör människor mer intresserade av akvarium och fler djur kommer då att säljas såväl odlade som vildfångade
[/FONT][FONT=arial]- För arter som har utrotats i naturen är odling ett sätt att bevara artens fortbestånd kanske, kanske kommer det någon gång i framtiden att finnas förutsättningar för att återinplantera dem.
Jag hittar inte det viktigaste, det är ju faktiskt hur många av våra vildfångade som dör i våra akvarium kontra hur många odlade som dör.
Jag kan ta ett exempel.
Vildfångade troffar, du Kjell tog i massor för några år sen, hur många procent levde av dom troffarna efter 2 år, Marcus, Arnold är två till som har tagit in en massa troffar som troligtvis inte levde mer än 2 år, nej dom flesta dog inom dom närmaste 6 månader när dom hade kommit till våra hemakvarie och började bli matade med lite mat, istället för det flingfoder som dom fick när dom gick hos grossarna.Det är till och med så att en del av troffearterna börjar ta slut i sjön, framförallt dom som hade dom finaste färgerna och band.
Detta gäller även malawiciklider att vildfångade är mycket känsligare och dör.
Nej, jag tycker så här, låt odlarna som är duktiga ta hand om dom importerade vildfångade fiskar, låt dom odla på dom , sedan släpp ut dom odlade fiskar som är vana vid vatten och mat till zooaffärerna.
Då får vi det humanasta sättet att hålla fiskar på, det blir roligare för fisken som överlever, det blir mycket roligare för framförallt fiskägaren som får sina fiskar att överleva.Janne

Mathias Nilsson skrev:Det måste ju vara så att vildfångad fisk enbart är bra för regionen där den lever normalt. Om man då ser på aspekten att de som bor där får det bättre ekonomiskt så kan jag köpa en del av tanken. Vad jag har svårare att förstå är hur mitt akvarium ser bättre ut med vildfångad fisk, så kan det bara inte vara. Urvalsodling måste ju vara bättre!?
Ni får ursäkta mig men jag ser inte det smarta i att plocka upp fisken när det enda som krävs för att odla Malawi är vatten och mat, mer lättodlat kan inte finnas. Jag kör en mil för att hitta sjysst Malawi, privatodlad och tålig, det måste vara bäst för alla

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Dear Cichlid Friends,[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]It has been two months since I returned from Africa (Tanzania and Malawi). While there I was able to visit Nankoma Island and admire the work that Leon and his wife Ingrid had accomplished (with the aid of sometimes up to 200 local workers). The whole lodge complex should be finished by mid September after which Leon will start organizing his dive school and place the 200 new ANDs that have been ready for a while. It had been a huge task to build a kind of double lodge complex; one part for the luxury traveler and another for the dive school students. If you know someone who would be interested in obtaining a dive master certification and at the same time save the Malawi cichlids from overfishing, Camp Rock, the name of the new dive school, is the perfect place. For more information on the various programs see this website: [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]http://wamwai-adventures.com/wamwai-adventures_004.htm[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] or contact Leon at [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][EMAIL="leondup@hotmail.com"][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]leondup@hotmail.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/EMAIL][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000].[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I know that the diesel engine for the guards boat has arrived in Malawi and I had hoped to show you a photo, but Dimitri has been too much occupied with the many changes in Malawi after its president died suddenly, the free-floating Malawi Kwacha, and the global economic downturn. Since Leon and Ingrid have been on the island during the last nine months the illegal fishing has been drastically reduced. Last year the park guards made many arrests but during the last months of their patrols very few arrests have been made. As soon as the new diesel engine has been installed in their boat they can triple their frequency of patrols. African pace is slow but we are getting there![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]On the donations side of the funds I have some excellent news: the BITCHes made a ton of money at the ACA convention in Indianapolis (great convention!) and donated a whopping $2500 to the funds! A good friend of mine, Dick Au, almost matched that with his personal gift to the fund! Thank you very much ladies, Dick![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]There is some other great news. During the ACA convention Paul Loiselle suggested to me to ask Stuart Grant Ltd at Kambiri Point to breed the few species that we found being threatened by extinction due to overfishing by the ornamental fish trade, and that I should perhaps apply for a grant from the Paul Loiselle Conservation fund to cover most or all of the expenses. This was a great idea and one which David Nkhwazi, Stuart Grants stepson and director of the station, had been playing with since he had read that some of the popular species were at risk. After contacting him, he immediately agreed to set aside some of the holding facility and start breeding Pseudotropheus saulosi and Melanochromis chipokae. This is huge! There will be no need to get permits to export and then again import these species at risk and the breeding will be done by experts in the field. Kind of ironic that Stuart Grant Ltd is going to restore some of the species made nearly extinct by their fly-by-night foreign competitors. I just received an e-mail from David in which he specifies what he would need for food, shade netting, labor, etc. and it would take about $5000 for a year, most of it for food and shade netting that has to be imported from South Africa. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]The last note is from Lake Tanganyika. While I was in Tanzania on a 10-day dive tour along the eastern shore of the lake, Chris Horsfall (from Lakeshore Lodge fame) explained to me that the Tanzanian government had recently implemented stricter rules for the local fishermen. The major impact was on the kapenta/ndaga fishermen who attract fish with lights at night who now have to stay at least 2 kilometers offshore. Also beach seines are now strictly forbidden in Tanzania. At the first offense to any of these new rules, the fisherman gets a warning but at the second his boats, nets and further equipment will be confiscated and burned! And the fisherman put in jail for up to 5 years! Chris found three burnt fishermans boats at Mabilibili which were from those that failed to obey the new restrictions. So it looked like the new rules were enforced, but Chris recently got in a pickle with the local government. Since the laws were changed he and his wife Louise have been the recipients of plenty of animosity from fishermen on Kerenge Island (just across from their lodge). They felt that the Lakeshore Lodge being there had instituted the new fishing laws and were therefore upset with Chris and Louise, instead of with Fisheries. Chris and Louise and the Lakeshore Lodge have been publicized in the national press as the bad guys, with seriously fictitious, trumped up allegations. Recently they had two lengthy meetings with the new District Commissioner to defend themselves. Then Chris had a long meeting with the Diwani (village councilor), who advised him to turn a blind eye to the now ever-increasing illegal fishing that has started again, for concern of actions taken against them by the local fishermen as retribution. Now Chris and Louise are trying to sort things out with the villagers, with the help of Fisheries.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]So, some mixed news from the conservation front of Lake Tanganyika cichlids. Of course we still found beach seines being employed in remote places along the Tanzanian shore of the lake, but near bigger villages (where the most damage is done) hopefully Fisheries will be able to enforce the new legislation.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
