Fish Industry

[alhalabi]

Hello everyone,
I am an MBA student and I am writing an assignment about this industry. I was wondering if you can help me with a few questions

1- Do you know what is the size of this industry in terms of annual dollars spent?

2- Do you know how much it costs to open up a store and what it takes?

Thanks

I would say in the 10 's of millions.
For a LFS you need a little money and no experiance.

LFS--lots of money and no experience---I think that is how they view newbies when they walk into their stores and rub there hands in joy.

And that is just what demon spends.....:lol: :lol:

In all seriousness though, there is a book called "Marine Ornamental Industry: Collection, Culture and Conservation". It may give you the reference-able material you need. Unless someone's online forum post will satisfy your professor. :mixed:

I think you will fins that worldwide, this industry is about a billion dollars annually.

Good luck.
