Description:
The importance of international markets as a source of live, ornamental “fish” supply is growing dueto more stringent wild-harvest regulations in Florida. In addition, foreign markets are increasing inimportance as a source of demand for Florida purveyors of live, ornamental “fish”. Florida plays animportant role in this growing international market. Trends in imports and exports of live,ornamental “fish” are described for two primary data sets: U.S. Customs and U.S. Fish and WildlifeService. These trends are described primarily for the 1994-98 period for Florida and the UnitedStates. Florida imports and exports are described for the two major ports: Miami and Tampa. Themost important trading countries are also described. This information will help Florida purveyors oflive, ornamental “fish” better understand the international markets upon which they have becomemore dependent. (PDF has 18 pages)
