The stats for the states said 10.8% of American homes had aquatic life. Closely followed by Europe. This worked out to 8.8 fish per home. There was a log more info than that but I would put Canada way under that.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

I've looked for stats in the past myself I've ever only found localized stats for major centres but no provincial or national stats however I have found stats for everything in the states.

There was once someone on here doing a similar project...maybe search it and see what that person found. They were running some polls on various forums across the country as I recall.

One place that you may want to start is looking at the Industry Canada (I think) website. They have the import stats for aquarium fish by export country in dollar volumes. It's a start. The one potential issue that you may run into with retail sales is that some retail stores are full line pet stores and do not break down the sales by pet type.

Good luck with your search.
