The film Finding Dory, featuring a blue tang fish, was thought to increase interest and demand for the species in the pet trade.
Despite a rise in global online searches for blue tang fish shortly after the movie's release, the study found no significant increase in the actual imports of these fish to the US or visitor numbers to aquariums.
The authors stress the importance of using evidence-based approaches when discussing the effects of popular culture on wildlife interactions to maintain credibility and effectively allocate conservation resources.

Fantastic to see more research exploring the effects of Hollywood on conservation. Nice one @verissimodiogo et al! It seems Finding Dory led to lots of googling but no increase in blue tang imports or visits to aquariums. https://t.co/g7ZmNqhA9r https://t.co/D5wLDUP7so
