Aquarium or ornamental fish trade, although widely acknowledged as a large and diverse industry, is one of the most poorly known and documented activities within the global fisheries sector. For example, there is very little up-to-date statistics on the number and quantity of species involved, major exporting countries, number of export units and trade value at different points. The aquarium industry is viewed as both positively (socio-economic and livelihood benefits) and negatively (over-harvest, habitat destruction, alien species invasions) influential, and therefore is often considered a practice that divides opinion.
