• Description:
  Hawaii is in an excellent position to assume a highly competitive international role in the breeding, rearing, and marketing of freshwater and marine tropical fish and plants. Substantial expertise already exists in Hawaii in aquacultural engineering, marketing, fish biology, and intensive aquaculture. This expertise, in combination with Hawaii's good water quality, geographic location, ideal climate, and economical shipping costs provides important advantages for the establishment of a new industry producing ornamental fish, plants and ancillary products. A strong ornamental aquaculture research program in Hawaii, in cooperation with Florida, the Gulf and western states, and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands, could lead to the establishment of a national program. This would allow the United States to actively compete in the expanding multi-billion dollar world market. This document outlines a plan for research needed to establish an ornamental aquaculture industry in Hawaii.
