About Us.

Established in 1965, Emark Tropical Imports is the oldest ornamental fish and coral wholesale company in the United States.  Based in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, we supply fish, corals, invertebrates, and plants to retailers and wholesalers throughout the United States.  We put our 55+ years of experience to work for your business every week by providing the best selection of aquatic animals, conscientiously bred, or sustainably collected by the best suppliers from around the world to make your business unique and profitable.  Our founder, the late Mark Stein, was involved in the ornamental fish industry for over 40 years.  He was an innovator who cared deeply about the hobby and the sustainability of the industry and was a driving force in the creation of Ornamental Fish International, a worldwide trade association that represents and promotes the interests of the industry through lobbying to institutions around the world and educating industry members and hobbyists in responsible and sustainable best practices.  We do our best to carry on his legacy every day.
