Brazil Ornamental Fish Market Trends:

Rising Live Ornamental Fish Export Demand

According to the World Integrated Trade Solution, in 2023, the leading countries exporting live ornamental fish to Brazil included the United States, which exported $146,800 worth of fish weighing 4,230 kilograms, Sri Lanka with exports valued at $69,750 and weighing 1,549 kilograms, Australia at $45,770, the Dominican Republic with exports totaling $35,320 and weighing 9,341 kilograms, and the Philippines at $27,400. This demand boosts local businesses and the economy, encouraging investment in the sector and increasing international trade ties. Moreover, the vitality of the ornamental fish market is also enhanced by innovations in aquaculture technologies and breeding techniques that improve the health and coloration of the fish, making them even more appealing to international buyers. Besides, Brazil’s strategic geographic and environmental positioning allows for the cultivation and export of unique ornamental fish that are often unavailable, solidifying its status as a key player in the ornamental fish market. This robust export demand promotes economic growth and underscores the appeal of Brazil’s aquatic wildlife. These factors, combined with active participation in international trade shows and exhibitions, amplify Brazil’s presence in the global ornamental fish trade, demonstrating the country's commitment to maintaining a leading position in this niche market. Furthermore, such advancements and initiatives fortify the existing demand and attract new segments of consumers seeking unique and sustainable aquatic pets.

Supportive Environmental and Conservation Initiatives

Brazil’s dedication to environmental sustainability is evident in its stringent fishing and breeding regulations aimed at protecting its native species. These efforts are designed to prevent over-exploitation and ensure the long-term viability of wildlife populations, particularly those of ornamental fish. As a result of these protective measures, licensed breeders have been able to increase their production levels annually. This increase is a direct outcome of responsible breeding practices and adherence to regulations that promote ecological balance and market growth. For instance, in February 2025, Brazilian Fish, in partnership with the U.S.-based Centre for Aquaculture Technologies, unveils genetically edited Nile tilapia, enabling progress of a 20-year breeding program in one year, enhancing disease resistance and feed efficiency. Additionally, the success of these initiatives has led to a more sustainable and regulated ornamental fish market, which benefits the environment and the economy. By fostering a controlled growth environment, Brazil conserves its natural resources and enhances its market potential, providing high-quality, sustainably sourced ornamental fish to national and international markets. This proactive approach has helped establish Brazil as a model of effective environmental stewardship within the lucrative ornamental fish industry.
