Abstract:
Brazil is one of the leading exporters of ornamental fishes, mostly freshwater; however,
monitoring of the trade is nearly non-existent in the country. This paper provides an initial assessment of
a new venture, the marine aquarium fish trade at Ceara´ State, northeast Brazil, aiming to document the
species traded, to provide preliminary estimates of numbers of specimens traded, and to identify priorities
in data collection and monitoring. A total of 143 species and 199304 fishes were traded. From the total,
109 species were native and represented 84% of the fishes traded. Thirty-four exotic species figured on
the permits and amounted to nearly 16% of the exports; however, most of them consist of misidentified
native species. Nearly 90% of the fish trade was directed to the international market. Official figures
represent an underestimation of the total number of captured specimens.
