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.
