Description The marine ornamental fish trade is a sunrise industry in
aquaculture and has become a growing industry worldwide. As a
result the trade of marine ornamentals has been expanding in
recent years and has grown into a multimillion dollar enterprise
mainly due to the emergence of modern aquarium gadgets and
technologies for setting and maintenance of miniature reef aquaria.
Since the marine ornamental trade is operated throughout the
tropics, the global marine ornamental trade is estimated at US$ 200-
330 million. Since India is endowed with a vast resource potential
of marine ornamentals distributed in the coral seas and rocky
coasts with patchy coral formations and the increasing the demand
in the domestic trade, it appears very much lucrative for India to
venture into this industry.
