Papua New Guinea (PNG) has long held the interest of many foreign countries’ industries for many years and the aquarium trade is no exception. With its vastly expansive coral reefs surrounding the country’s entire mainland and its hundreds of islands, PNG is home to a greater diversity of species of marine life than any other place in the world. Many of these species are unique and endemic to PNG. Despite the fact that the actual land mass, and population of the country is small in comparison to other leading aquarium fish supply countries like the Philippines and
Indonesia, the extensive coral reefs surrounding PNG provide the country with incredible resources and the potential to become a world leader in marine aquarium organism exports..
