| description | This paper addresses a review of scientific literature on the commercial importance of ornamental fish (PO) in Colombia. As the main results, it was found that this market is still a global exchange activity for exotic species that generates great profits and that it has been sustained with the trade of more than one billion species each year. Most of the POs are extracted from natural populations and end up in aquariums worldwide distributed, generating depletion of the resource associated with overfishing and extraction activities. Capture and handling practices and high mortality rates represent a significant welfare problem as well as a significant economic and environmental cost for the industry. South America is still the largest species supplier, mainly the biodiverse countries with an export tradition such as Colombia, where it is constituted as a commercial or subsistence resource of great importance for the fishing and indigenous populations. A list of 522 species of PO confirmed, grouped in 13 Orders, 49 Families and 213 genera whose most desirable species are Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, Osteoglossum ferreirai, Paracheirodon axelrodi, Pterophyllum altum, Panaque nigrolineatus and Callichthyidae Callichthyidae. The problems associated with the few studies carried out in PO, the limited legislation that regulates and protects ecosystems and their biodiversity, added to bad practices and incentives for cultivation, abandonment of fishing communities that depend on this resource, have limited the growth of the sector. It is urgent to consider sustainable alternatives for reducing fishing pressure on the species, which include health, nutritional and efficient use of the water resource in order to allow the use and conservation of PO species, in this way this trade would grow much more trade and its contribution to the country's economy would also be grater. |

Este artículo hace una revisión de literatura científica sobre la importancia comercial de los peces ornamentales (PO) en Colombia. Entre los principales resultados se encuentra que este mercado continúa siendo una actividad de intercambio mundial de especies exóticas que genera grandes ganancias y que se ha sostenido con el comercio de más de mil millones de especies cada año. La mayoría de los PO son extraídos de las poblaciones naturales y terminan su destino en acuarios distribuidos en el mundo, lo que genera agotamiento del recurso asociado a la sobrepesca y las actividades de extracción. Las prácticas de captura, manejo y las tasas elevadas de mortalidad representan un importante problema de bienestar, además de un costo económico y ambiental significativo para la industria. Suramérica sigue siendo el mayor proveedor de especies, principalmente los países biodiversos y de tradición exportadora como Colombia, donde es considerado como un recurso comercial o de subsistencia de gran importancia para las poblaciones de pescadores e indígenas. Se confirmó un listado de 522 especies de PO, agrupadas en 13 órdenes, 49 familias y 213 géneros cuyas especies más apetecidas son: Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, Osteoglossum ferreirai, Paracheirodon axelrodi, Pterophyllum altum, Panaque nigrolineatus y Callichthyidae Callichthyidae. Las problemáticas asociadas a los pocos estudios realizados en PO, la limitada legislación que regule y proteja los ecosistemas y su biodiversidad, sumado a las malas prácticas y al incentivo al cultivo, el abandono de las comunidades pesqueras que dependen de este recurso, han limitado el crecimiento del sector. Urge contemplar alternativas sostenibles que disminuyan la presión de pesca sobre las especies, que abarquen aspectos sanitarios, nutricionales y de uso eficiente del recurso agua con el fin de permitir el uso y la conservación de las especies de PO, de esta manera crecería mucho más este comercio y su contribución a la economía del país sería también mayor.
