Abstract
The marine ornamental industry has been expanding rapidly in recent years and the global annual marine ornamental trade is estimated at US$ 200 - 330 million. Nearly 98 % of the marine ornamental species marketed are wild collected mainly from coral reefs of tropical developing countries. This has been threatening the long term sustainability of marine ornamentals due to the indiscriminate exploitation of coral reef area by the use of explosives, electro fishing devices, chemical poisons and intoxicants.
