A Review on Marine Ornamental Invertebrates
نویسندگان
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.

متن کاملCrawling to Collapse: Ecologically Unsound Ornamental Invertebrate Fisheries
BACKGROUND Fishery management has historically been an inexact and reactionary discipline, often taking action only after a critical stock suffers overfishing or collapse. The invertebrate ornamental fishery in the State of Florida, with increasing catches over a more diverse array of species, is poised for collapse. Current management is static and the lack of an adaptive strategy will not all...
