Some three thousands families are involved in fish production in the country with the hobbyists increasing becoming interested in supporting the industry.      Marine ornamental fish species are produced by artificial breeding in the government facility. In the recent past, aquarium plant industry has evolved using mass propagation culture technique in the laboratory also helping conserve the wild type.      The Department of Fisheries is directly involved in promoting the ornamental fish business to reach at a superior quality of the product.

Most are caught from the seashores of Phuket and Rayong provinces and some are imported from Philippines and Indonesia.      The Department of Fisheries at Krabi brackish water station recently succeeded in artificial breeding of nine species.
