Hand Book on Aquafarming: Ornamental fishes

The international trade on ornamental fishes is growing rapidly indifferent parts of the world. USA, Europe and Japan hold big markets and India's contribution in export is negligible. The Marine Products &port Development Authority (MPEDA) has done extensive survey to promote the export of L freshwater and marine ornamental fishes in India. If these potentials are properly tapped, India can emerge as one of the leading exporters of ornamental fishes in the world. Therefore, the Organising Committee of "INDAQUA" the fist Aquaculture Show in India decided to bring out this handbook for the benefit of entrepreneurs in ornamental fish culture. The hard work put up by Shri V.K. Dey, MPEDA in compiling all useful information deserves special appreciation. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries -Fisheries Division Government of India was very kind enough to come forward to meet the entire printing cost of this book. The coordination done by Dr. G. Santhana Krishnan in bringing out this publication is appreciated. It is my earnest desire that this book will be of great help to investon in ornamental fish culture
