According to ICAR-Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, India’s share of global ornamental fish export is a mere 0.4% with a value of USD 1.4 million, and globally ranked 31st in exporting countries. Singapore ranked first in exporting ornamental fishing whereas the European Union has the largest market for ornamental fish. Most of the Indian ornamental fish are reared and supplied from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. About 90% of native species (85% are from northeast India) are collected and reared to meet export demand.
