Stop Hunting for Ornamental Fish, Keep Them Alive

The ornamental aquatic industry is a global industry that trades in a number of freshwater and marine organisms such as fish, invertebrates and plants. It is also an industry that, on a global basis, moves the greatest numbers of animals (Ploeg, 2012a) and is estimated, worldwide, to involve more than two million people both directly and indirectly (including hobbyists) http://52.77.237.15 For this review, however, the ornamental aquatic industry is considered as being those engaged in commercial activity only and excludes end users such as hobbyists and public aquaria. In the wider context of global live‐fish utilisation, such as in comparison with the live food‐fish sector, the ornamental aquatic industry is deemed to be high value, low volume [Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO, 2016)].
