Ornamental Fish Species
Ornamental Fish Species
Ornamental fish species are bred primarily for the aquarium trade, offering aesthetic appeal and diverse coloration. Popular ornamental fish include species like goldfish, koi, guppies, and angelfish. These species are farmed in both freshwater and marine environments, with breeding systems designed to enhance desirable traits such as color patterns and size. The ornamental fish industry is a multi-billion-dollar global market, where sustainable farming practices are becoming increasingly important due to concerns about wild fish populations and ecosystem health. Efforts are being made to improve breeding techniques, maintain water quality, and ensure ethical treatment of fish in this growing industry.
