Abstract

The southern marshes of Iraq comprise a huge potential for ornamental fish industry on both small scales run by locals and on larger scales run by investors or government. Although there are a few ornamental fish species inhabiting the marsh areas of Iraq, such presence reflects the suitability of both the water quality and the climate for breeding further ornamental fish species in the frame of monitored ornamental fish industry. In the present chapter, a review of the idea of establishing ornamental fish industry centre on a large scale financed by investors or government or several small breeding centres run by families of the locals is discussed. In case any of the options was chosen, certain steps of keeping the sustainability of the project and the health of the environment should be considered.
