Ornamental fish trade |
General observations |
Ornamental fish trade comprises an important sector of the fishery in Lake Tanganyika. Currently, there are some ten exporters of ornamental fishes in the riparian countries. As many of these fishes are slow reproducers and have highly restricted distributions (e.g. most of the Tropheus species), there is a clear need for an assessment on the sustainability of fisheries related to this trade. |
