The effectiveness of brood stock management in captive breeding of marine ornamental Fish

Abstract

Nowadays, the trade in marine ornamental fish is growing to be a multimillion-dollar industry. Because marine ornamental fish are successfully being bred in captivity, the industry can flourish. The breeding process is progressively applied through collecting fish from their natural habitat, inventory and domestication. An important stage in the breeding process of marine ornamental fish is the efficient management of brood stocks. A considerable number of initial populations become one of the keys to success in breeding marine ornamental fish. The principle of high genetic diversity in populations at the beginning of the collection is also an important indicator of the sustainability of the breeding process. The study aims to evaluate the management of brood stocks for marine ornamental fish in captive breeding. The observed parameters are the number of brood stocks populations, effective population size, and the utility of inbreeding in a population. The success of its cultivation is determined by the genetic diversity in the basic population which needs to be monitored from the start of the captive program.
