Species-level import records for marine ornamental species declared by exporters upon entry into the UK during selected periods in 2018 and 2019. The dataset was created to support a CITES technical workshop on marine ornamental fish conservation. It provides a snapshot of the UK's marine ornamental import trade for those years.

- Monitor compliance and trends for CITES-listed marine species based on the data's stated purpose.
- Assess the UK's role in the global marine ornamental trade based on the spatial and temporal snapshot.
Strengths
- Provides species-level detail for imported marine ornamental species.
- Covers declared imports for specific periods in 2018 and 2019.
- Created to support a specific CITES technical workshop (Decision 18.296).
Limitations
