Ornamental Fish Farming in India
G. Ganesh* and N. Rajanna
 
Abstract
Over 195 native species from the North-East and Western Ghats sectors, as well as about 400 species outside of marine the preferences, can be found in India's inland and coastal regions. Wild fish species that were gathered from rivers in the North-East and Southern States make up about 85% of India's total export of every kind of ornamental fish. Among the 195 fish species that have been found in the North-East Region, 155 have been defined as having ornamental value. The area also shows excellent biodiversity and a high degree of endemism in freshwater ornamental fishes. Among them, Loaches, Eels, Barbs, Catfish, and Goby stand out. On the other hand, the Western Ghats of India are one of the 34 "Biodiversity Hotspot" Areas in the world. The Western Ghats have been home to 40 species of ornamental freshwater fish, 37 of which are indigenous to the area.
