We export a wide varieties of marine tropical fish to countries in Asia, America and Europe. We have business relationships with clients from Sri Lanka, Canada, Japan, Holland, Italy, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea etc.

We have limited stock as we collect fish for firm orders. This is our policy of being a responsible live fish harvester and minimise unnecessary stock depletion. We always collect fish for existing orders as we use sustainable and environment friendly methods of fishing. Our divers catch fish individually using hand nets.
