Cover Description: Development of ornamental aquaculture. Photo with honorable mention in the II PhotoFIRMA photography contest at the XI Ibero-American Forum on Marine Resources and Aquaculture online 2022. Ornamental aquaculture is an industry that is little visible in Central America, but with great development potential to become a source of development to improve the quality of life of people in rural areas. The photograph demonstrates the research and development of ornamental species such as Nimbochromis venustus, where the ideal oral weaning time was evaluated to obtain greater survival, in addition to preparing the females in order to obtain more reproductions throughout the year.
