Description The ornamental fish industry falls in three general categories
that include Tropical freshwater (guppies, neon tetras),
Temperate freshwater (Koi carps) and marine ornamentals
(primarily reef fishes, shrimps and corals). The global
ornamental fish trade is spurred by growing interest in
aquarium keeping and reportedly includes more than
120 countries with around 2000 species, predominantly
freshwater, traded. While the supply is mainly from Asia-
Pacific, Europe and USA are key markets. The Government
of India through its Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana
(PMMSY) is encouraging the stakeholders to tap the economic
potential offered by sustainable ornamental fish production
and trade clusters. Development of an associated indigenous
pet fish feed industry is vital to attain this goal and the lead
article in this issue of MFIS shares some insights on this topic.
Findings while empowering fishermen through appropriate
techno-economic interventions are included. Coral reefs play
a key role in enhancing and sustaining marine biodiversity
and marine fisheries. The observations recorded during an
underwater coral survey in the Andaman & Nicobar islands
will also be interesting to our readers.
