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.....

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.

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

Good luck.
