چکیده

Enormous data are available on trade, breeding and larval rearing, nutritional and growth studies and aquarium keeping of the ornamental invertebrates from other countries. In India, studies on ornamental invertebrates are not available. The studies related with the biodiversity of ornamental invertebrates are not available from global level. This paper reviewed the research work on marine ornamental invertebrates. Several research papers have published on aspects related to trade, breeding and larval rearing, nutrition and growth. However, studies on resource evaluation and aquarium keeping are very scarce. Little or no information is generated on the ornamental invertebrates of India. Apart from the resource assessment and aquarium keeping, the trade, breeding, larval rearing, nutritional and growth studies are reviewed in detail. This review is a preliminary attempt to assemble background information for future workers on marine ornamental invertebrates.
