Fish Bombing

    Fish bombing is an illegal way of catching fish. For example an aquarium is in need of new fish. The fastest way to get the fish is to bomb them even though it is against the law. The fisherman rows  This is the reason fish bombing was made illegal because it was causing damage to coral reefs and fish. A fish bomb is made from ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil. People use these items because it creates a highly explosive mix called ANFO. ANFO requires a special kind of cap to detonate. These caps must be strung through a cork acting like a seal. Fuse wire, like that you see on bombs on cartoons is needed to set off the bomb. It also allows the fisherman to row a safe distance away.
