Not AvailableOrnamental fish trade is a multibillion dollar industry globally,with an annual turnover of more than 6 billion US$. India still
remains a sleeping giant with a contribution of less than 1% of the global ornamental fish trade. The present study examines
the export performance of Indian ornamental fish trade based on the data pertaining from 1991 to 2009. Fisheries exports
form a lion’s share (51% on an average) of GDP in fisheries sector. The share of ornamental fish exports to the total value of
fisheries export has increased from 0.04% in 1991 to 0.15% in 2008. Indian ornamental fish export registered a higher
positive compound growth rate of 14.4% in terms of export value, 12.1% in terms of quantity exported and 2.1% in terms
of unit value. India can be considered as one of the gold mines for ornamental fishes considering the existing potential. One
hundred eighty seven species are traded from India, of which 85% are collected from the wild. The new schemes of the
Marine Products Export Development Agency (MPEDA) and research support can soon make India a major player in
international ornamental fish trade thereby, greatly increasethe foreign exchange earnings, employment and rural livelihood.
