The ornamental\nfish industry in Guyana even small but is relatively active. Live fish are\ncaught in riverain areas and carried out by licensed collectors who use craft\npowered by outboard engines, and varying types of fishing gear\n(dragnets\/seines, dipnets, pin-seines). Typically, the catch is sold to named\nexporters of ornamental fish whereas the fish are exported mainly to the U.S.A.\nas well as to Canada and Europe.  The\nmain fish species caught and traded in Guyana include the \u201clemon fin\u201d, the \u201cbusty\nnose\u201d and \u201cthe \u201cred tail pleco\u201d.\n\nIt may\nworth noting that in Guyana, the Iwokrama\nInternational Centre in partnership with the North Rupununi District\nDevelopment Board has been working to develop a sustainable, community-based\naquarium fisheries business in the Rupununi wetlands, central Guyana. The\nproject has been designed to generate revenue for indigenous communities\nespecially from the area’s extraordinarily high fish diversity. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
