Marine ornamentals for the aquarium trade
Abstract
The marine ornamental trade became active in Solomon Islands in the mid-1980s, primarily through the wild harvest of corals and fish. The initiation of more sustainable techniques (cultured giant clams and farmed corals) did not occur until the late-1990s through projects initiated under the auspices of ICLARM (former WorldFish) (Kinch, 2004). Since that time the marine ornamental trade (still primarily through wild harvest) has provided a modest income for some rural coastal communities in Solomon Islands (with a reduced trade and a cessation of the production of giant clams during the 1999 2001 ethnic tension), and two exporting companies remain active.
