As a diver who has been lucky enough to interact with these amazing creatures, I am very much against 'farming' them. They are intelligent, curious, and playful. They recognize individual dive guides, and will come out to greet them as friends. Since I had a chance to interact with them, I've never been able to eat one again. Thanks Rob for bringing this to greater attention.
