First off Id like to say Im a huge fan of your work. Some friends and I are
making a small educational site on fish we would like to have photos to go with
some of our FAQs and some info on things we aren't knowledgeable about. Would it
be ok to use some of your photos and info if we credit you properly. I see a lot
of people using others pics and such but Id like permission to do so if possible
it would be a huge help:) If not I understand btw this site is purely
educational and will only be using acquired info or photos for that purpose,
Thank you,

Educational materials
9/1/07
Hi Bob,
<Peggy>
I own a small reef specialty shop in Stillwater, Minnesota, called All-Reef. I
just opened at this location on June 1st.
<Congrats!>
Since we opened we've had numerous (potential) customers inquiring about our
doing some classes so they can "get their feet wet" before they "dive" into the
reef hobby. Sorry for the bad puns.
<Have used them all before m'self...>
My question for you is whether or not there are any issues with my searching WWM
for educational material to print and use in a couple classes so I don't have to
reinvent the wheel. We are not charging for the classes, only a nominal fee for
the materials to put an educational packet together for them so they have
something for future reference. We will have about 10 students if everyone who
has asked for classes actually shows up for them!
<Don't think there are any issues here... as long as the authors of the
individual pieces are credited, though WWM does not own any more rights than one
time publication itself>
I look forward to your response, and either way, I appreciate the good work you
do and have done in the industry. I refer people to WWM all the time and tell
them they can get good information there rather than get loads of bad and
inaccurate information on forums (nothing against forums--just that there are
too many of them and about 85% of the participants know very little but have
lots to say!)
<Heeee! I'd put the percentage higher>
Again, I await your response, and I wish you a very good evening. One other
thing while I'm at it, would it be ok if I put a link to WWM on my website?

Re: Educational materials

Many thanks Bob.
<Welcome Peg>
I must say you have to be one of the nicest guys around! I sell lots of your
Conscientious MA books in my store.
<Ah! And thank goodness and such, we're re-doing this work... it's getting very
old...>
I recommend it to the beginners in particular because it's in plain English so
it's understandable for them. My favorite book is the inverts book by you and
Calfo. It's simply splendid. Thanks again for your good work and your kind
heart, and I'll be sure to mention authors of whatever I use for the educational
packets from WWM.
Off I go. Enjoy your weekend, and many thanks again.

I run a website that posts an inspirational quote at random daily. In response
to a frustrated young man, (with whom I was sharing the same frustration) Mr.

Use of picture in Swedish aquarium? – 03/09/07
Hello Bob,
<Martin>
I work as the technical manager of the Science Center Universeum in Gothenburg,
Sweden. We operate a non profit exhibition with the purpose to encourage young
people to study natural and technical science by having educational exhibits in
two technical departments, a South American rainforest, a Swedish landscape and
five aquatic systems. On of the systems is a 1,4 million litre oceanic tank were
we have Blacktip reef sharks, Nurse sharks, Sand tiger shark and an adult Zebra
shark
called Lina.
Being this also attract a lot of tourist in the summer season and we are now
producing a multimedia guide in English, French, German and Norwegian.
In order to explain why the Zebra shark is spotted and not striped I would like
to show a picture of a juvenile example and I found a picture on your website
called StegostomaAQ2.jpg.
<I see>
What would it take to be allowed to use it in our guide? It will be shown four
seconds in the format of a square five centimeters. We intend to hire the guide
to tourists for some 6 USD to cover our production and maintenance costs. I will
add a section called Underwater Photography were we show some facts about
UV-photography and have pictures of the people who have contributed with
pictures and information about their websites.
Kind regards
Martin

Request approval for publishing some articles 10/24/06
Hello Mr. Fenner:
<Hola Alfonso!>
I'm a very long time reader of your site, not much a poster because I
continuously find an answer with the search tool, either within an article
or the faq's. The reason for this e-mail is because I have been a part (for
the last 6 months or so) of a Mexican site called All-Reefs.com
www.all-reefs.com <http://www.all-reefs.com/> ,
it's a place for us in our
country and lately in Latin America where we can search and give advice, as
well as share our experiences, mistakes and success stories. Within the
forum we have a project for an online magazine "Reef Place e-Magazine"
www.reef-place.com <http://www.reef-place.com/> which
will be issued on a
bimonthly basis. And that's the reason I'm contacting you, I would like to
ask your authorization to use one of your articles on every magazine, the
idea is to have on each issue a chapter with one of your articles, we will
be focusing on certain species depending on the overall subject of each
issue, I will be doing the translation myself and will be giving, obviously,
all the credits for the article and/or pictures as posted in WetWebMedia. I
will also contact you prior to the e-magazine publication date to tell which
article interests us on each occasion and if you like I can send you a copy
of the translation for your approval.
<I can only speak for my material (not that of other authors... you will need to
contact them), but you are free to use my content on your site>
Thanks in advance.

Conscientious Marine Aquarist" - the 317 word portion that specifically defines
what a conscientious marine aquarist is. We would like to publish this
section on our website, and potentially include it in our constitution and/or
bylaws. Sincerely, -Jeff Williams

I hope this email finds you in good health.
<Good enough, thanks>

of our S.C. shores. I saw your photos on Wet WebFotos.com and would like to
use any of the stingray photos. If you could send a few at the
largest size and best resolution would be ideal. The pass code does not
work.
Below is a simple freelance form that can be sent back to me for legal
reasons, if we have your permission.

obviously is. Likely you can/will find others work for free elsewhere. Good

Permission request 1/18/06
Hi Bob -
<Jeff>
As always, I continue to be impressed with your site and the level of knowledge
that you demonstrate. I admire how you have given so much to
the hobby. I had done some thinking and I'd like to give back to the community
where I have taken so much pleasure.
<Good>
As I'm a web developer by trade, my professional experience doesn't
exactly translate in to the reef world. I thought that a good way to help the
community is to facilitate some of the knowledge
dissemination. It still looks like this little hobby of ours is still stuck in
the dark ages in some respects.
<Is, but coming forward>
I wanted to make an encyclopedic site that users could look up a topic and get
straight forward and thorough information.
<Takes time...>
I also like the site wikipedia.org. They're in the process of cataloging all of
the world's knowledge. Nothing like a lofty goal, huh?
<Mmm>
The idea behind their site is to let anyone who has knowledge on a given subject
add their two
cents to the pile. In short; anyone can edit anything. The problem is,
their information on reef systems is pretty rudimentary. Take a look at
their protein skimmer page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_skimmer
<I see. An interesting approach... hard to moderate>
I've set up the same software that Wikipedia uses on my server. I've
registered a domain name and I'm working on a look and feel for it. I
have the pieces in place, but I need some knowledge to give it a kick
start. Once people start using the site, I believe the knowledge will grow, but
it needs a seed.
Will you give me permission to use some articles and pictures from your site?
<I would like to see some examples of this please>
The site is named XXXX It will be non-profit. Any information taken from your
site will be referenced. I might, in the future, ask
for donations for server and bandwidth costs. I'm sure you know that enough
traffic can cause those costs to grow quite a bit.
<Yes. Reasonable thus far... it's the time that is "the killer">
Any money gathered in the name of the site will be put back to paying off
costs.
Like I said, it is a designated non-profit site (as evidenced by the .org)
Thanks for your help,
Jeff
<Again, please send along a few examples of how you would do this once it is up.
Cheers, Bob Fenner>
Fish breeding and wetwebmedia content 1/11/06
First I'm starting my own website and wonder if I can link to you articles
or if possible reformat you articles to go along with the look for my site? I
don't have half the knowledge about marine wildlife as I'm sure you do and I'm
trying to make a more centralized site to find info and reviews for new reefers
as I found myself running around the internet for info rather then learning when
I first started.
I'd really like some informative content to provide.
<... As far as I'm aware you're open to link whatever you'd like on the Net...
but not copy...>
Second I'm also interesting in captive breeding, being as 10 fish die for
everyone in the LFS I thought it was an admirable challenge to take on. Fish I
have considered would are
Clowns, Pygmy Angels, Fridmani Pseudo's, Banggai Cardinals, and Longnose Hawk
Fish.
I'm wondering if there might be a medium size fish or a trigger. I could perhaps
breed however I would need to know that its popular enough to find homes for.
<... okay>
I then wanted to donate some of the proceeds to some sort of marine conservation
organization.
Having marine fish is great but the part about where it all comes from bothers
me and like I said would like to make an effort to not only enjoy breeding but
make a positive impact on the trade.
Thanks for any info you maybe able to provide
Sincerely
Brandon LaGrange

Pictures on your website 7/29/05
Hello Bob,
<Erwin>
I have found your website
http://www.wetwebmedia.com via Google.com.
First of all, very, very nice pictures you have on your website and
a lot! It is really great!
<Thank you>
I am currently creating a website about marine fish and -tanks called '
<http://reefsecrets.be/>
reefsecrets' (e.g.:
http://www.reefsecrets.be/). It is a non-profit website and organization
with a forum and a marine animal database. Our audience is based in some
smaller regions of Europe, mainly in Belgium and in The Netherlands. The
main goal of our website/forum is providing information to owners of a
marine tank to help them in their hobby. We are planning to be online
around fall of this year.
<Congratulations>
I am already searching some time for good and useful pictures. I am not
willing to copy or steal pictures without permission of the (real)
owner(s) (-it is by the way a real shame people that are doing this-).
<Immoral, and illegal>
As we are a non-profit website that is just starting we are unable to
pay for pictures. Now I found you, and I hope you can help me out!
What do we want? Simply add pictures to our animal database and website.
All pictures will have a reference (like: (c) by
http://www.wetwebmedia.com ) that we will automatically add and we will
use them on this site only. Of course, you will stay the owner.
It would be great if you could help us! Of course I am willing to
discuss this subject in more detail if needed. If you say "no", which I
am sure you will not do! :-), no harm done.
Thank you for your answer.

Bob,
<Scotter, Adam... this is a "opaque" area to me, the net as yet... the content belongs to the originators, not us... I suggest we refer people who
would use their works to them. BobF>
<Agreed 100%. This is how we finally replied to Anthony's Italian friends and what we have adopted as policy. Based on your (as usual) sage advice,
it seemed folly to try to act as an agent on behalf of our authors. Most, if not all of them provide an e-mail address and can be contacted directly.
That said, what about the content on WWM, especially for use by local aquarium clubs? IMO, allowing clubs to re-print material from WWM, but
requiring them to boldly insert the URL is a great way to spread the word about the site. I am not necessarily trying to sell you on this idea, and I
do understand that there are some logistical issues (especially paid CA content linked from other WWM pages), but it might be a nice service to
offer.

in the Public Domain?
Adam/Scott,
Does WWM or CA have a 'public domain' area where local fish clubs can download articles to be included in
their club news letters? Let me know if you do and if so how it works as there
are many interesting articles we'd like to include.
Thanks.

Thanks for your interest in WWM and CA!
We do compensate our others in the magazine for their work, and they retain the rights to their articles. It would be best to contact the author of the
piece(s) that your club is looking to run directly to obtain their permission.
In regards to WWM content, I am cc'ing Bob here; he would be the one to ask about utilizing WWM material in your club newsletter.
Once again, than you for your interest!

Re: Asking for permission using one photo - Thankful in Spanish
Apreciado Robert:
<Pronto>
Que alivio para mi que hables español, no sabes lo mucho que me cuesta expresarme en ingles, ya que no lo he utilizado mucho desde mis tiempos del
colegio. Aprovechando tu dominio del idioma, me gustaria invitarte a que nos visites
alguna vez y participes en nuestro foro, ya que conozco tus conocimientos y la altisima calidad de tu web. Aqui es España la acuariofilia marina esta
empezando y no creo que seamos ni un 1% de los acuariofilos los que nos metemos con el agua salada. Casi no tenemos tiendas, y los precios,
especialmente de peces e invertebrados son el triple que lo que he visto en las tiendas online en USA.
Es por esto que desde webs como la nuestra intentamos fomentar la afición. Si me gustaria utilizar alguna foto tuya mas, por eso te pido permiso, por
supuesto poniendo tu nombre y web.
Un saludo y espero saludarte por el foro.

Using WWM
Hi Bob,
<Adam>
My friend owns a small marine/tropical shop here in Cambridgeshire, UK, I am designing his website and have long since been an avid marine keeper and
also fan and user of your website, we are wondering if you will mind if, from time to time, we use material from your website, with credit to yourself of
course on ours, such small articles as those on the tang maybe featuring as "fish of the month" for example?
Would you have any objections to this, as I said we will of course credit
the writing of said article and include a link to your site.
Regards, Adam
<Actually, we do mind. Though we make our content available gratis to non-profit interests, yours is for-profit. You are welcome of course, to refer people (link) to our content, but NOT (copy,
paste) lift it. Bob Fenner>
Re: usage of website information
Ok, gotcha.
I'll have to write my own.
Thanks anyway, Adam

Photos from your Site ?
Hello Bob :-)
<Hi there Robert>
Dear all,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Robert Baur I created and host
the encyclopedia of reef fish and corals. Link: :
www.meerwasser-lexikon.de
<Very nice indeed>
The main topic is to report the experience of hobbyists, who can add their
personal observations. The goal is to create, update and maintain a
knowledge pool about all fish, corals and invertebrates we keep in our
tanks. The encyclopedia was already know in German and recently we also
started the English version.
The database consist of about 1200 fish, corals and invertebrates.
Unfortunately we are lacking pictures of fish and corals which are
uncommon in Europe.
That's why I kindly ask you if we can use some of your pictures. Of course
all pictures will show that the copyright is on your name. We would highly
appreciate if you could support this non commercial project and contribute
your pictures.
Please note that my English is limited and these lines have been
translated by a friend.
Kind Regards from Germany an a merry Christmas :-)

<Ohh>
We in all other respects know ourselves, from the Interzoo 2002. Together
with Ralf Schmidt and Daniel Knop were we in the evening in the hotel Lohner
proximity only mountain and also the fair Interzoo at the Birgit Schmettkamp
conditions.
<Ah yes>
We are normal Aquarianer the some homepage about sea water in the net
placed. we began approx.. in 1999 with the Domain www.korallenriff.de
we have at present to the 90,000 visitors in the month, which causes some at

The side serves not for it money to earn separates only around the costs the

<Yes>
Thanks nevertheless for their offer, available photos can we unfortunately
not pay.

Sacramento Aquarium Society FINDIG Request
Hi Bob,
My name is Martha Volkoff and we met briefly last year at the Sacramento
Aquarium Society’s FINDIG.
<Oh yes, hello Martha (my first wife's name and a fave gastropelecid...
Carnegiella marthae>
I am the club’s newsletter editor, as well. We are in full swing again putting
the event together again and I have been tasked with designing and getting the
t-shirts made. This year I am planning to go with a full-color design that
includes fishes that represent each of our speaker’s topics. I am hoping you
can help me acquire some such photographs. I read the use disclaimer on your
website, and am a little unsure whether this use would be permissible (as we
will be selling the shirts, but we are a non-profit organization). Please let
me know.
<All non-commercial uses are permitted, indeed encouraged. You are welcome to
use any of my content>
As a little more detail of the types of fishes I am seeking, I need a couple of
reef fishes, a couple of cichlids, a seahorse or seadragon, two North American
natives, and maybe a Goodeid. While browsing your sites I saw some, but not all
of these categories. Attached is a low resolution draft of my design I
presented to the FINDIG committee for their approval (most of the pictures I
used were pulled off of the web without permission).
<Do please take a look on WetWebFotos.com re scans that are already "done"... I
will cc JasonC here, who helps send along passwords for larger downloads. If
there is something in particular you'd like to see that is not presently placed,
please send along your requests and I'll try to get to ASAP (am out in HI
presently and will be out to the tenth or so of Sept>
I also requested that our speakers be solicited for photographs of their own,
but I don’t know what type of response I will get (at this point I am counting
on none, and I’m running out of time quickly).
Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Martha Volkoff

Use of WWM content
Hello Mr. Robert M . Fenner,
<Hi there Mr. Van Der Hope>
I will be as brief as possible because I understand how busy you
may be . . .
<We all have about the same amount of time...>
First, I would like to say your book - The Conscientious Marine
Aquarist, is 'hands-down' - the best book I've read in the field of
Saltwaterfish/Reefkeeping! :-)
<Ah, glad you've find the work of use, interest>
I am contacting you as a result of finding your website! I could not
believe you had a site up and running. What a wonderful place to
learn more about this hobby . . . I was truly excited to discover
this which leads me to ask a few questions . . . But first, let me in-
troduce myself! :-)
My name is Eric V. Van Der Hope and am the Publisher and Editor
of "The Reef & Saltwater Fish Keeping Cheat Sheet" - A Newsletter
For The Serious Reef Keeping and Saltwater Fish Hobbyist.
<Hee hee, love the name>
My website is at the following address:
http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com
Since I'm trying to keep this letter short, I've also provided a URL
for you to learn who I am . . .
http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com/aboutus.htm
The primary purpose of this letter is to ask permission from you
to publish one of your articles on my website/newsletter. Of course
proper credit would be given.
<If your interest/site is non-commercial, you are welcome to utilize my content>
I have provided a URL of one of your many articles - Frequent
Partial Water Changes on my website. It is not yet 'live' as I wished
to get your comments first before I actually tell my readers . . .
http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com/article071704.htm
I would appreciate any comments you have, most importantly, if
the signature box is acceptable for you as it is now. If you care to
modify it I have no problem with that. I just want to make sure
that the proper credit is given!
My website is new, however it's in a constant growing stage.
I've got a great Forum started as well and hope you could jump in
as 'my special invited guest'! But no pressure! Just a suggestion . . .
<Thank you for the offer...>
I am an avid saltwater fish enthusiast and am encouraging as many
like minded individuals to think about starting their own mini-ocean
and become part of a growing and enthusiastic community of fish
pet owners!
I know you must be extremely busy, so I would like to express my
appreciation for your time and any comments you can provide and
thank you in advance. I await your reply at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Eric V. Van Der Hope
<Thank you for your efforts. Bob Fenner>
Re: Use of WWM content
Hello Mr. Fenner,
<Eric>
I'm happy you responded to my email so quickly! Thank you so very
much!
<Welcome>
I'd thought my newsletter name was kind of catchy!
The article will be used in a non-commercial manner. My site at this
time is for informational purposes only.
However, I am currently working on a project that will be sales
oriented. I will make sure that I do not use your article in any way
that could be associated with this project.
I just wanted to provide the URL of where your article is now being
used. Again - I thank you advance and know my readers could bene-
fit from this article.
http://www.saltwaterfishpets.com/articles.htm
<Took a look, nicely laid out>
If I may ask ahead of time . . . you have a tremendous archive of useful
articles on your site. When there comes a time that I feel one of your
articles could help my readers, could I ask ahead of time for your
permission to use, obviously without commercial intent? I just don't
want to keep bothering you by asking each time I would like to
recommend your articles . . . ! :-)
<Actually, no. You are welcome to link to my/our content though. Myself and
quite a few of our "Crew" are content providers (for pay) in the hobby and
business of ornamental aquatics, so we do not give carte-blanche to anyone to
post, re-post our work.>
If you would like any changes to your resource box that I've provided
at the end of your article - please let me know. I will make any needed
modifications you request.
I would like to take the time to express my appreciation for your response
you've given up to this point. I know all of us are busy - but
when I get the privilege of 'talking' to a distinguished person as your-
self - it makes it worthwhile to spend a little extra time to go the extra
mile!
Thank you in advance for everything. I look forward to hearing from
you and learning more of this wonderful hobby through the constant
reading of your work (books you've published) as well as your
website.
Sincerely,
Your friend,
Eric
<My real advice is to encourage you to write, provide your own articles, image
work... perhaps to sell this as well as retain the universal rights to same... a
very good way (the best in my estimation) to learn, present uniform material,
make a few dollars and promote yourself and site/s going forward. Bob Fenner>
Borrowed text?
While I realize that your writings are often quoted elsewhere, ( as I'm
guilty of doing on some of the forums) I suspect that a business doing it, at
least without giving the proper credit, would qualify as theft...Of course, you
MAY have some arrangement with MDL, and them I'm sitting here with egg on my
face...
Anyway, just in case it's not appropriately used, I wanted to pass on this:
http://www.marinedepotlive.com/1123714.html
"Flowers of the sea? Hardly. " From that line on, it's a direct plagiarism of
this pages openings:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/inverts/cnidaria/anthozoa/anemones.htm
Isn't it funny how sometimes, you recognize something you've read before? As
soon as I saw this, I knew where it had come from.
Best wishes to you,
Neil

Dear Mr Fenner,
I am writing to request the use of some of your photos of Opisthobranchia to
insert into an essay that I am writing in my first year of university. The title
is :
'Discuss the origins and significance of diversity within and between species of
a named taxonomic group' and for my group I have chosen the gastropods.
Your website has been of great use to me, and your photos clearly show some of
the differences that I am demonstrating.
Yours,
Julia Luther

Permission for use of photos
Hi Mr. Fenner,
I work for a non-profit coral reef program called Reef Check. We have teams of

Reef Check is currently developing a new version of our training manual to be
published and distributed among our teams next year.

We are planning to include a section of pictures of our indicator organisms for
each of our 5 survey regions. I am requesting your permission to use your photos

- Using Images -
Hey and thanks for the help. I would like to use some of the pictures on
your website which I am working on but the website is going to be
www.xtremeleeaquatic.com. I am not done with it yet, so its not up yet. The
pictures I want to use are going to be used for a background for my website. I
am not going to use them for selling my live stock. <The fact that you will
be selling anything at all via your web site means the images would be for
commercial use.> I will take my own pictures when I have my own livestock to
advertise on my website. I just need some pictures on your website for a
background and it is going to be like a mask image or ghost image. If I have to
pay that is fine I am just interested in your pictures I seen. <Excellent -
the price for web use is $10 per image. Please send along a list of the images
you would like and payment for same to Wet Web Media, 8586 Menkar Rd., San
Diego, CA 92126 and we'll be happy to expedite your request.> My website is
going to be for a store so I can advertise my livestock, but like I said
livestock pictures are going to be my own from my store. I can send you a list
of pictures I would like to use.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Mr. Fenner,
<Hello.>
I am a 22 year old budding entrepreneur. I have been a life long aquarist and
have been running an aquarium installation and service business on a part time
basis for the past 7 years while in high school and while attending university
to help pay the bills.
<Sounds familiar... this is what I did as well>
I have now
decided to peruse my life long passion as a full time business. I am in the
process of putting together some pamphlets for marketing purposes. You hands
down have a magnificent collection of photos. I have read your image use
agreement with respect to commercial businesses using your images and was
wondering if you would be able to make an exception and allow me to use your
images. I am seeking some high resolution pictures which would be able to be
used for print material.
Please advise.
Thank you.
<Mmm, no can or will do my friend. Our pricing for such use is in a word,
"cheap". A part of doing business... like rent or gasoline. Might well
be a/the time to add photography to your skill repertoire. Good luck, life. Bob
Fenner>
- Images Wanted -
Hi Robert,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I am in need of some high quality photographs.
Can you please provide me with your "cheap" prices/fees for obtaining
your high resolution images for print material. <For web use, we charge $10
per image. Depending on the use, the rate may change so you need to specify just
exactly what and where you intend to use these images. As for specific images,
please browse our companion site, http://www.wetwebfotos.com
where you will be able to browse roughly 80% of our catalog. If you find some
images you like, let us know the ID number of the image and we'll be happy to
make arrangements to get the images to you. If there is something that you can't
find, please let us know roughly what you're looking for and we can check the
other 20% of our catalog to see if we can suit your needs.>
Look forward to hearing from you.
<Cheers, J -- >

I want to use the images for print material. I am creating a color pamphlet

You've been misquoted!
Hello guys... specifically Bob. Are you in any way affiliated
with marine depot live?
<The owner, Ken Wong, his girlfriend/fiancé Amy and others there (esp.
Alvin) are friends, associates in the trade>
The reason I ask is that several of their fish descriptions are
copied literally word for word from the pages of your website. Many
of the photographs are the same as well. Of particular concern to me
is the fact that they have misquoted your description of the powder blue
tang. Below is your description of the fish, and in caps is the part
they chose to include on their site:
ACANTHURUS LEUCOSTERNON (BENNETT 1833), THE POWDER BLUE TANG; besides
being notorious carriers of parasitic diseases, most specimens don't even make
it through the capture and shipping stages. But€¦some of you are screaming,
"this isn't a difficult fish! a€¦I'VE KNOWN PEOPLE TO KEEP THE POWDER
BLUE FOR YEARS! THOSE HEALTHY FEW THAT ARE WELL RECEIVED AND CARED FOR - WITH
LOTS OF LIVE ROCK AND ALGAE IN LARGE, WELL-ESTABLISHED REEFS - DO occasionally
LIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS.
Needless to say, the omission of the first section, along with their cleverly
leaving out the word "occasionally," completely changes the meaning of
your words. You would think if they were going to lie about the ease
of caring for this fish, they could at least write it themselves and not take
your words and mess them up. Also, you are not cited anywhere on the
site that I could see, so I guess they are guilty of plagiarism as well (is that
spelled right?)
In conclusion... sue the pants off these guys. They must be loaded,
right? Well, maybe I'm going a bit far, but it upset me to see them
repeatedly copying you word for word and in this one instance (and maybe others)
completely altering the context and meaning of your advice. You've
been a big help to me and my tank in the past, and I thank you all. keep up the
good work!

Photographs of colored fishes
Dear Robert:
<Hi there>
I am a researcher who works in the Public University of Santiago de
Compostela, in Spain. At this moment I am preparing a manuscript which talks
about the way that colored fishes get its nice colored skins. Sincerely, I think
that it is a interesting job and I will try to send it to "Nature" or
"Science" for publishing.
My problem is that I need some photos (3) of different fishes, and checking the
web I found your nice photographs, and I thought "O. K. this
three pictures are exactly what I need".
Exactly, I need:
One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in Horizontal configuration ( as
pomacanthus imperator).
One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in vertical configuration (as a
young pomacanthus semicirculatus, or maybe you know one better)
One picture of a fish with the stripes ordered in two set of parallel stripes
(as Genicanthus melanospilus, or another better, if you know)
Can I have your permission to put them in my manuscript???.
<Yes, Si, Seguro, for sure. Our "Use Policy" is posted on our
homepage. All non-commercial uses are permitted>
Of course, if you want I will give thanks to you in the published paper. Please,
consider my petition, because your photos are a important part in my research,
in the sense that presents a validation in nature of my results.
Thank you very much in advance.
Please, mail me as soon as you possible, because I have to be fast to publish
this results.
Best wishes from Spain.

Picture use
Dear Sir,
<Hello>
Would you kindly permit me to use a picture on the Web? I guess I should
introduce myself and our plan. My name is Kohei Ohta. I am working in Kyushu
University (Japan) as a lecturer (Staff Researcher of Core Research Institute).
Now, we have an poster exhibition to introduce the study about the marine
biology to the children. This exhibition is planed by the juvenile's culture
hall of Fukuoka city
<Our sister city in San Diego, California!>
and the museum of Kyushu university, and this will be held at the juvenile's
culture hall during the next summer vacation (Aug.14-Sep. 9). Theme of this
exhibition is "The life in the river and the sea". Total 30 posters
will be showed. I am in charge of one section entitled "sex change in
fish". This section consists of four posters. Now, I would like to
introduce the several hermaphrodite species in one of these posters. To
introduce the fish to the children, the pictures of fish are desirable.
<Yes, essential>
Therefore I am looking for the pictures of the hermaphrodite species. Now, I
should be pleased if you would permit my using a picture on a web (WetWebFotos.com).
This picture is "Basses -Serraninae, Hypoplectrus nigricans
(BAH)"
<ID: 2169 in WetWebFotos.com>.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Your fishbase pictures
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 14:05:31 +0200
Dear Sirs, Dear Madames,
we are a wholesale for aquarium fishes and want to establish a information
system about fishes for our German customers on our website. We bought fishbase
CD and searched for beautiful pictures to illustrate the different fishes. We
found your pictures the most beautiful ones. We contacted Aque Atanacio from the
fish base project and he told us that we do have to ask you kindly for
permission to show Your pictures on our site. For sure below all pictures the
source fishbase and the name of the author will be displayed. We clearly not
want to use Your pictures as ours, we want to educate our customers because many
wrong or local names appear and we like to support our customers using right
names for each species.
Herewith we would like to ask your for this permission and/or the
rules/regulations we do have to follow if we want to use your pictures.
Many thanks in advance
Your sincerely Thomas Jung

A. vaigensis photo
Dear colleague,
As member of the "Unione Zoologica Italiana" I am involved in the
preparation of an article on the fish fauna of the Italian Seas. In this article
I think to insert the pictures of some fish species. Because Abudefduf vaigensis
was found in two localities of Italian coastline I think that this species may
be a good example of lessepsian fish. I noted the good photo of the species that
is available in the Fishbase archive. So I very appreciate if it could be
possible use your photo also in my article.
Waiting your kindly reply I send you my best regards
Marino

Wrasse Photos
Hi Bob,
I'm a grad student at the MBL in Woods Hole, MA. My doctoral dissertation is on
body color and pattern evolution in the labrids, and how these species use
visual cues in species recognition. Although I will be collecting my own data in
the field, I need to try out some of imaging programs and image analysis
techniques on high quality photos first. I would like permission to download all
your high-quality wrasse photos for this purpose.
Look forward to hearing from you,

Heniochus (WWM Content use)
Hi, my name is Josh. I have a large website that has lots of information on
fresh and saltwater fish. I couldn't really find any pictures of the black and
white Heniochus, until I came across I site with one of your pictures. Can I use
this picture as long as underneath it I will give a credit at the bottom with
your e-mail address. Or if you would prefer me not to put your e-mail address
down that would be okay too. The site is mostly for elementary and junior high
school students that are doing their reports on fish, and my site is one of
their main sources. Do you have a web page where I can find more of your
pictures?
<Oh, yes: WetWebFotos.com>

Thalassoma quinquevittatum picture
Dear Mr. Fenner,
I saw your Thalassoma quinquevittatum picture posted on the wetwebfotos.com
website. It is posted that your picture is available for download. I am
participating in a project where we create species profiles and post them on the
University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web (http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu),
which is a species database widely used by many students. I am writing the
species profile of Thalassoma quinquevittatum and was wondering if you would
permit us to post your picture on the site? At the moment the only picture we
have of this wrasse is copyright restricted and can only be viewed from a
University of Michigan computer. It would be wonderful to have an unrestricted
picture that other people accessing this site could see. If you could let me
know if it is possible to use your picture in this manner that would be great.
Sincerely,
Rachel Appelblatt

Hippocampus erectus Image
Hi Robert,
I am emailing you in regards to your image on the web of Hippocampus erectus,
the lined seahorse. On behalf of the Hudson River Museum, and as the project
manager for the Hudson River exhibit that we are designing, I would like to ask
your permission to use this image in the newsletter publicizing the
exhibit.
<If this is a non-profit venture, please go ahead... if you need another,
better, larger scan, pls make this known>
Unfortunately, I need to respond to our PR department within the next few days,
so if you could get back to me as soon as possible, that would be great. The
Museum will credit your photo in all
publications related to the exhibit. I hope this will work for you and let me
know if you can give us a nonprofit rate
<Gratis, with my regards. Our policy: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm>

had prior to last year).

WWF Password
Greetings from Slovenia Bob,
<<Hi it's JasonC here... I help out with the WetWebFotos.>>
I'm sorry to bother you, it's just that I can't find anywhere on your wwm page
information about aquiring the password to view hi-res images (JavaScript
prompt). Maybe I'm just blind as a chicken, but I really looked for it... Can
you help me with this one?
<<I can. The password for the high resolution images is not provided
unless the images have been purchased. This is done to protect the copy right of
the photo publisher/creator. You're more than welcome to go through any of the
lower resolution images, but the high resolution images are for sale and no
passwords will be set or released until such purchases are completed. Let us
know if there are some images you would like.>>
p.s.: I love WWM & WWF pages... Keep up the brilliant work.
<<Glad you enjoy.>>

Referencing your site
Hi Bob,
I sent this back in April and never heard from you. I have lost several outgoing
as well as incoming emails to the great void in cyberspace......sometimes I
despise computers :).
<They are only tools>
You have always answered everything I have ever sent, so I am figuring you
either never received it, I never received your reply or you didn't reply for
any # of reasons.
<We answer all>
So I am sending it again........in hopes that you never got it and not that you
either didn't respond to discourage me from continuing to write to you with my
incessant questions or that you responded and I never received it.
<I will never abandon you>
Hi Bob,
Leslie Leddo here. You recently helped me quite a bit with a reoccurring
Amyloodinium problem and some Jawfish questions. The email subject was title was
"Will micro waving or boiling kill the cyst stage of Amyloodinium?".
<I recall>
I am sure you get tons of email questions and it must be hard to remember who is
who......
<Yes>
I am a Director/Moderator for Seahorse.org and I consider your site my first
line staple resource. I frequently refer to your very informative site for my
own information as well as when the info required to answer a post does not live
within the boundaries of my gray matter or it is inaccessible at the time
needed......LOL....ya know the memory thing. I was wondering how you feel about
using links to your site or quotes from your site, in replies to questions asked
by our members, on our Bulletin Board?
<These are fine... if useful>
If this is something that is acceptable to you is there a particular way you
would like us to reference the information used?
<Acceptable>
As long as I am asking would you be amenable to allowing us to reprint some of
your articles in our library, with of course reference to you and your site.
<Mmm, these should only be linked to what is placed on our site. We do sell
content, but what is on our site is non-commercial public domain>
Thank you very much,
Leslie Leddo
Oh PS I have been re reading through some of my FAMA issues and there are so
many of your articles. I love reading them. I find your writing style very
appealing. I always learn tons. Thanks for all you share.
<A pleasure and honor my friend. I do remember the gist of this message.
Strange you did not receive my first response. Be chatting. Bob Fenner>
Thank you again so much,
Leslie
Re: Fw: Your photographs of fish
Bob, are you telling me to give Constance a password for full access to
download any/all of the high-res images on WWF?
<No Zo. I hope to be clear/er... no one other than our crew should have
access even to my crummy scan efforts... of size... Was her concern that she
couldn't work from smaller sizes? I thought we were "just" talking
being able to download the few kilobyte size images>
This is not current practice - a user's normal password (the one she's already
got) just authenticates them to their settings, forum, etc. I thought I already
replied to Constance, along these same lines - ? Whatever you want me to do,
kein Probleme, mein Freund, just say the word! ANYBODY can access the previews,
and easily save them to local disk, like any other image on the WWW.
<Sounds like you're on it>
OT - Jason - Bob said to Constance that you and I will "likely be diving in
St. Thomas" what the hell is he talking about? Do you guys know something I
don't?
<The trip in November... please see the... yikes, unlinked, unsearchable

deal in terms of Di and I... hotel already pd. for... hope you can make it.

Hi Mr. Fenner,
I'm preparing a non-personal web-site. It will be in Turkish and give brief
information on marine fish, inverts and cichlid species. While surfing on the
net, I saw your marvelous UW photos at fishbase.org. I was going to ask
permission for the use of your Pseudochromis photos on the site.
<If the sites interests are non-commercial (non-profit), you are welcome to

Re: Permission...
Hi Mr. Fenner,
This site will belong to an aquatic supplier which is a profit organization. But
your pictures (if you give permission) will be used in fish database where
people will recognize the fish and read info about the fish species. Your
pictures will not be used in sale function.
<Mmm, sorry... but the sale of images is a good part of what I do for a
living. If you, your associates want to use my work for profit you will have to
pay for the privilege. How many images in what capacity are you interested in?

<Ten dollars each for your intended, stated use. Bob Fenner>
Re: Permission...
I asked my colleagues about the payment, and they said that "since the
firm is very new-established, they may not have a fund for this." So the
only way to use those pictures are by asking for a "donation" from
you. I'll credit them if you give permission. Unfortunately this is the only
thing that the new-established amateur firm.
<Amateur? You stated that this was to be a for-profit concern? May I ask, are
you working for free? My photo work IS my principal job. My advice is for you,
your associates to seek more funding before going forward... if they can't
afford graphics, they are not ready to be in business. Bob Fenner>

Hi Bob,
<Hello>
Just stumbled onto your awesome website. I don't own an aquarium, but I am very
interested in marine biology and work on a website called marinebio.com which is
devoted to identifying all marine species for access by scientists and students.
We envision a more detailed "fishbase.org" type site with other marine
related information.
<Wowzah! A lofty goal indeed! Am sure you've seen their "staff"
section... wish we had so much good help.>
I am currently adding the dusky parrotfish to the species database which is how
I came across your site. Would you permit me to use your photo for marinebio.com?
<Yes, and will post your note, link on our sites. Kudos to you>
I will of course retain the copyright/photo credit that appears on the photo.
Please check out marinebio, and again, your site is excellent!

Serranus annularis (orangeback bass) photo
Dear Bob,
Hello--I am an intern working for Dr. Caroly Shumway at the New England Aquarium
in Boston, MA. The Aquarium is a non-profit organization, and I am specifically
working on the new exhibit called "Living Links," which teaches people
about conservation (http://www.neaq.org/livinglinks/index.html). I am in search
of photos that can be used as species identifications for fish in the exhibit
tanks, and I came across your photo of the Serranus annularis (orangeback bass)
online (http://www.wetwebmedia.com/serranus.htm).
We are very interested in the possibility of using your photo in the
"Living Links" exhibit. Each photo in the exhibit will have a source
credit. If you would be willing to give us permission to use the image, could
you email me specifications on this photo in terms of resolution, size, as well
as any other information you may have. Also, if you require a fee, how much
would the photo cost the Aquarium? We are also looking for photos of the
following fish:
Liopropoma eukrines (wrasse basse)
Chromis enchrysurus (yellowtail reeffish)
Chaetodon aya (bank butterflyfish)
Equetus iwamotoi (blackbar drum)
Halichoeres bathyphilus (greenband wrasse)
Anthias tenuis (threadnose bass)
Hemanthias vivanus (red barbier)
Holanthias martinicensis (roughtongue bass)
Epinephelus drummondhay (speckled hind)
Gymnothorax miliaris (goldentail moray)
Lysmata grabhami (cleaner shrimp)
Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Yes, they serve my purposes just fine. Thanks again. I will let you know if
I use them and will send you an email when the article is written.

Photos (Use of WWM/WWF content)
Please excuse my ignorance, but this is my first assignment to find photos,
and here are my questions. I found 2 of your images on the WetWebFotos web site
that we may be
interested in using for a 1 year temporary exhibit (ray touch pool) that opens
in June, 2002, at our non-profit aquarium www.oceanjourney.org
<http://www.oceanjourney.org> .
The photos we would be interested in are: ID: 2387 of the Ray stingray and ED:
2360, of the Turbot Flounder. This would be for a 1 time use, on a graphic, and
we could receive the image digital delivery via CD or the
Internet. Are these photos available? What would the cost be? Thank you for your
help and dealing with someone green in this area!
<Thank you for your note. Our work is free to non-profits. Our Use Policy
stated here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.
Are the images of size, format posted on WWF suitable as they are? If not,
please re-contact me or Lorenzo (cc'ed above). Be chatting, Bob Fenner>

Re: Photos
Teri,
You may download the digital TIFF files directly from WetWebFotos using the
following links:
http://wetwebfotos.com/Home?
actionRequest=downloadHiRes&ID=2387&pwd=xxxxxxx
http://wetwebfotos.com/Home?
actionRequest=downloadHiRes&ID=2360&pwd=xxxxxxx
These special addresses include YOUR new password to these two files, and should
not be shared with anybody else! You may also browse to the photos on the site,
and select "download hi-res" you will be prompted for your password (xxxxxxx),
and the download will begin. You should save the files to your computer (they
are TIFF files saved in a ZIP file) then pass them to your graphics department
via disk or email, as you see fit. You will need Adobe Photoshop or similar, to
view the TIFF files. Please remember to include photo credit (Robert M. Fenner)
wherever practical in your layout/print (it is not embedded in these TIFF
files). Do feel free to email me with any further questions!
Best Regards,
Lorenzo Gonzalez
<Thank you Zo. Bob F>
WetWebFotos download links
Woops! I see that the addresses I sent are broken into two halves by the
various email software between! They should either be copy/pasted into the
address window of your browser (as one line!), or you can follow the more manual
procedure, i.e: go to the Media database in WetWebFotos, enter the Photo ID in
the special search box there, then use your password to download the
hi-resolution scan.
<Yeeikes, makes sense. Bob>
Cheers!
Lorenzo

Referencing your site
Hi Bob,
<Hello>
Leslie Leddo here. You recently helped me quite a bit with a reoccurring
Amyloodinium problem and some Jawfish questions. The email subject was title was
"Will microwaving or boiling kill the cyst stage of Amyloodinium?".
<I recall. Lucid>
I am sure you get tons of email questions and it must be hard to remember who is
who......
<Not really... am "focused" here>
I am a Director/Moderator for Seahorse.org and I consider your site my first
line staple resource. I frequently refer to your very informative site for my
own information as well as when the info required to answer a post does not live
within the boundaries of my gray matter or it is inaccessible at the time
needed......LOL....ya know the memory thing.
<I seem... to... recall...>
I was wondering how you feel about using links to your site or quotes from your
site, in replies to questions asked by our members, on our Bulletin Board? If
this is something that is acceptable to you is there a particular way you would
like us to reference the information used?
<All content on our sites is deemed, desired to be for public exposure.
Please read our policy here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMUsePolicyStmt.htm>
As long as I am asking would you be amenable to allowing us to reprint some of
your articles in our library, with of course reference to you and your site.
<Yes my friend, and pet-fish associate. Be seeing you, Bob Fenner>
Thank you very much,
Leslie Leddo
top smelt photo
I'm trying to track down a print quality/high resolution photo of a top
smelt (Atherinops affinis). Do you know how I could contact the photographer who
took the picture that is posted on your website? It would be for non-commercial
use.
<I am that person. You are welcome to the images non-commercial use. Is the
size, scan on the WWM site suitable for your use? Bob Fenner>
Thank you!

Re: top smelt photo
Thanks for your quick reply! Ideally the photo would be about 3x2 and 300
dpi.
<Is this for display? If so, pls find attached a jpeg at about this output,
format. Bob Fenner>
I appreciate your help!

Hi, My name is Stacey Shaffner. I am a Design Engineering student at
Michigan State University. I am working on a group project with 2 other
students. We are designing a roller coaster to be entered in a design contest
for a calendar page. We were wondering if we might be able to receive you
permission to use some of your aquarium photos as background for our roller
coaster design. We would cite your aquarium as our source for the photos. we
don't have too much time to work on this project so if you could give us a
response at you earliest convenience it would be greatly appreciated.
<You are welcome to use our content. Bob Fenner>
Thank you for your time,
Stacey Shaffner
Could you help us?
Hello, My name is Dale Anderson and I founded a wild animal park for cats
called the Sierra Endangered Cat Haven in Dunlap, California. We are producing a
educational TV show on cats and need some photos of fish and eels that have
leopard in their name. We do not have a station to run the show as of this time
but we are hopeful when the show is complete that someone will be interested.
Could we use some of the fish and eel photos you have on your web site for
reference on our show?
They will be on the screen for about 2 seconds. We will acknowledge you in the
credits. Thank you for your time,
Dale Anderson
