Abstract

Very few marine ornamental fish breed in captivity (Dufour 1997). As such, the marine aquarium fish market is supplied through fish captured live in their natural environment. About 100 tons worldwide is harvested annually, representing approximately 20% of the total world ornamental fish market worth three billion dollars (Andrews 1990 in Dufour 1997). Dufour (1997) stated that since the 1980s, three main reasons have accounted for the aquarium fish trade increase. Farming techniques and aquarium equipment have been improved. The decorative and exotic aquarium ecosystem has become attractive to temperate city residents who spend long periods indoors. Increase in air traffic has been noted.
