SINGAPORE’S ornamental fish export industry, the largest in the world and worth almost $100 million annually, is in danger of drying up.

The leases of 16 major exporters in Jalan Kayu, who export about 80 per cent of exotic species such as goldfish and Asian arowanas from Singapore, will expire at the end of the year.

And there is little chance of a renewal, as the space, which is government land, is slated for new roads and industrial development.
