Subject Ornamental Fishes
 
Description Keeping colourful and fancy fishes known as ornamental fishes, aquarium fishes, or live jewels
is one of the oldest and most popular hobbies in the world. The growing interest in aquarium
fishes has resulted in steady increase in aquarium fish trade globally. The ornamental fish trade
with a turnover of US $ 6 Billion and an annual growth rate of 8 percent offers lot of scope for
development. Unfortunately India’s share in ornamental fish trade is estimated to be less than 1 %
of the global trade. The major part of the export trade is based on wild collection. There is very
good domestic market too, which is mainly based on domestically bred exotic species.
