Abstract:
Ornamental fish keeping at home is emerging as one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Aquarium fish and accessories industry is fast gaining importance due to its tremendous economic opportunities and prospects. Indian waters possess a rich diversity of ornamental fish, with over 100 indigenous varieties, in addition to a similar number of exotic species. A rich diversity of species and favourable climate, cheap labour and easy distribution make India, West Bengal in particular, suitable for ornamental fish culture. The success of ornamental fish culture greatly depends on the location and layout of the unit with adopting proper management protocols in the breeding and rearing. With proper education and technical guidance, local people can be trained for eco-friendly breeding/rearing & collection techniques. Apart from the ornamental fish, there is a scope for the development of industry on live food and artificial feed and aquarium accessories required for ornamental fish keeping. Ornamental fish farming can be a promising alternative for many people and it can be set as cottage industry as it requires little space and less initial investment than most other forms of aquaculture. In present scenario it could provide a great opportunity for entrepreneurship development and income generation. In this paper an attempt has been made to explore the scope of ornamental fish keeping as cottage industry.
