That’s because even though Dory was a model of resilience and optimism in her perilous quest to rescue Nemo from a dentist’s office fish tank, young blue tangs have proven much less hardy inside lab tanks. “When a similar rush for pet Dorys inevitably follows the new film, fragile coral reef environments are likely to suffer. The scientists behind the article claim that while Dory is portrayed as a strong character in the film, it might not be the same thing in real life. Conveniently, clownfish are simple to breed in captivity, and demand was easy to satisfy.” “After Nemo hit the big screen, sales of orange and white striped clownfish rose by as much as 40 percent, according to some estimates.

Marine biologists have expressed their concern over Pixar’s upcoming release of its Finding Dory film.
