An examination of consumer views on marine aquarium trade in fish indicates that there is need to educate and inform lobbyists and consumers towards creating demand for organisms caught sustainably. Further, there is need for such campaigns to connect the consumer information to human health effects and environmental impacts in a way that is honest and still not offending such a crucial industry. The venture in aquarium fish retailers on the online market has made 'impulsive purchases by lobbyists' a common occurrence (Mccollum, 2014).The growth of the aquarium industry has encouraged more lobbyists to emerge. The increased success of private aquariums and the heightened interest in keeping aquariums as a hobby have also led to a higher demand for aquarium fish. Such fish is now commonly available both on the online market and retail physical stores. Larger chain stores have also joined in the trade. They haul simple aquariums packs along with livestock products in the hope that they will cash in on the ever-rising demand for aquarium fish products (Mccollum, 2014). The idea of running a service firm, as opposed to retail trade, is not new to many industry players. The service sector is a rich source for employment creation. This is a basis for studying consumer choices and preferences; including the current market strategies used by aquarists (Selvarasu & Sankaran, 2011).
