Dynamite fish became particularly in Southeast Asia strongly increasing starting from center of the 80's 20. Century imported. The tinkered explosive devices are usually hurled by the boat in the water, where they explode in several meters of depth. Fish are by the pressure wave or directly killed or their swimming blister burst. For instance a third drops unattainablly to the bottom of the sea, approx. 10 20% by the current driven off, 10 20% by robbery fish is extracted, so that the yield is with maximally 30 40% of the reached fish.

The reasons for this illegal, not selective catch method lies in the unawareness of the ecological system connections with the simple Fischern, above all however in at short notice high yield. Many Fischfanggebiete and dipping places in completely Southeast Asia were strongly destroyed thereby on years outside, up to the total loss. Many of the slowly growing Korallen, above all the branched Korallentypen, are an important save area for young fish and fish brood and are now missing. Most legal and illegal methods can for itself regard a stable ecological system in principle not to destroy. However synergies arise, whereby in widen, to offshore ranges formerly excellent of catch reasons fishing nearly completely broke down.

Dynamite demands some Handamputationen, going blind and other injuries as collateral damage with the Fischern. Starting from approximately 2000 intensified controls opposite the dynamite fishery and seizing ensure for increasing avoiding on the illegal employment of cyanide, particularly because it is loudless applicable.
