Draft:Aquaculture in Singapore

Aquaculture in Singapore is dominated by ornamental fish culture, followed by marine food fish culture. Known as "the capital of the ornamental fish industry", Singapore had brought in $76.7 million in 2019 and have traded with more than 80 countries.[1] On the other hand, marine food fish culture only made up 10% of Singapore’s consumption of local fishes.[2]

While majority of food fish culture today in Singapore are marine fish culture, before the 1980s, they consisted mainly of freshwater species. Most of these fishes consisted of carp, tilapia, and catfishes.[3]
