Abstract: Marine angelfish is one of the most welcomed aquarium fishes.Their colorful appearance and various shapes are attracting aquarium hobbyist continuously.Therefore,they are of a high market value.However,due to the environmental degradation and overfishing,the wild anglerfish resources keep declining,which calls for an immediate artificial breeding and restoration.This paper summarized the current progress on artificial breeding of marine angelfish worldwide including the living habits,paired and spawning of brood stock,embryo development and hatching,as well as larval breeding.The technical bottlenecks and the possible resolutions in this area were discussed in detail,and hoped to provide reference for future research on artificial breeding of marine angelfish.
