Table 7: Species Changing IUCN Red List Status (2020-2021) IUCN Red List version 2021-2: Table 7 Last Updated: 04 September 2021 Table 7: Species changing IUCN Red List Status (2020-2021) Published listings of a species' status may change for a variety of reasons (genuine improvement or deterioration in status; new information being available that was not known at the time of the previous assessment; taxonomic changes; corrections to mistakes made in previous assessments, etc. To help Red List users interpret the changes between the Red List updates, a summary of species that have changed category between 2020 (IUCN Red List version 2020-3) and 2021 (IUCN Red List version 2021-2) and the reasons for these changes is provided in the table below. IUCN Red List Categories: EX - Extinct, EW - Extinct in the Wild, CR - Critically Endangered [CR(PE) - Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct), CR(PEW) - Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct in the Wild)], EN - Endangered, VU - Vulnerable, LR/cd - Lower Risk/conservation dependent, NT - Near Threatened (includes LR/nt - Lower Risk/near threatened), DD - Data Deficient, LC - Least Concern (includes LR/lc - Lower Risk, least concern). Reasons for change: G - Genuine status change (genuine improvement or deterioration in the species' status); N - Non-genuine status change (i.e., status changes due to new information, improved knowledge of the criteria, incorrect data used previously, taxonomic revision, etc.); E - Previous listing was an Error.

  • The Occurrences and Reclassification of Torpedo Panthera in Iraqi Marine Waters
    Annals of R.S.C.B., ISSN:1583-6258, Vol. 25, Issue 6, 2021, Pages. 3736 - 3741 Received 25 April 2021; Accepted 08 May 2021. The Occurrences and Reclassification of Torpedo Panthera in Iraqi Marine Waters Mujtaba. A.T. Ankush1, Ahmed Chasib Al-Shamary2 1Department of Fish and Marine Resources, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, Iraq. 2Marine Science Center, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, Iraq. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT When two specimens of the Torpedo Panthera electric straw were caught in Iraqi marine waters in November 2020, their presence was known and reclassified through the study of 17 Morphometric characters, some of which were correlated with salinity Disk length, Disk width, and Eye diameter, and others with temperature First dorsal fin length, Second dorsal fin and Tail length, During the research, the chemical composition of the ray was investigated. KEYWORDS Torpedo Panthera, Iraqi Marine Water, Morphometric Characters, Rays. Introduction They are unmistakably monophyletic, with large pectoral electric organs derived from bronchial muscles, anteriorly expanded and branched antorbital cartilages, a neurocranium lacking supraorbital crests, and posteriorly arched scapulocoracoids, among other features, distinguishing them from other batoids (Compagno, 1977; McEachran et al., 1996). Electric ray species belonging to the genus Torpedo panthera Torpedo Houttuyn, 1764, is a genus of medium to large electric rays that can grow up to 180 cm in total length and can be found in tropical and temperate waters all over the world, from the shoreline to about 600 m on the continental slope. Larger specimens are capable of producing strong electric shocks that have been reported to reach a discharge of 220 volts (Coates and Cox, 1942; Bigelow and Schroeder, 1953).

  • Field Identification Guide to the Sharks and Rays of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden
    FAO SPECIES IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR FISHERY PURPOSES ISSN 1020-6868 FIELD IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO THE SHARKS AND RAYS OF THE RED SEA AND GULF OF ADEN PERSGA FAO SPECIES IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR FISHERY PURPOSES FIELD IDENTIFICATION GUIDE TO THE SHARKS AND RAYS OF THE RED SEA AND GULF OF ADEN by Ramón Bonfil Marine Program Wildlife Conservation Society Bronx, New York, USA and Mohamed Abdallah Strategic Action Program Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Jeddah, Saudi Arabia FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 2004 iii PREPARATION OF THIS DOCUMENT This document was prepared under the coordination of the Species Identification and Data Programme of the Marine Resources Service, Fishery Resources and Environment Division, Fisheries Department, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This field guide is largely based on material prepared for training courses on elasmobranch identification delivered in the region by the first author, and promoted by the Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA), as an activity of PERSGA’s Strategic Action Programme (SAP) towards capacity building and technical assistance in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. Printing was supported by Japanese Government funds. The increasing recognition of the significance of sharks and batoid fishes as ecosystem health indicators, as well as their particular importance in exploited ecosystems in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, have been key considerations to promote the preparation of this Field Guide. Furthermore, in recent years the reported catches of elasmobranchs in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden showed a marked increase.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

This document is an update of the information submitted in 2017 in response to Notification 2017/031. The Australian Government is committed to the sustainable use of fisheries resources and the conservation of marine ecosystems and biodiversity. In particular, we are committed to the conservation of shark species in Australian waters and on the high seas. The Australian Government manages some fisheries directly, others are managed by state and territory governments. The Australian Government also regulates the export of commercially harvested marine species. Australia cooperates internationally to protect sharks by implementing our Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) obligations, and by working with regional fisheries management organisations on the management of internationally straddling and highly migratory stocks. For more information on Australia’s fisheries management and international cooperation see the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy’s fisheries webpages at http://www.environment.gov.au/marine/fisheries.

Full descriptions are provided for all four Palau species, along with diagnostic field keys. Keywords Pacific Islands, taxonomy, Asteriids, Apiales Introduction Osmoxylon Miq. (Araliaceae) is a genus of rainforest trees and shrubs from southeastern Asia and the western Pacific (Philipson 1979; Frodin and Govaerts 2003). All of the 60 currently recognized species are characterized by large umbelliform panicles composed of several to many three-branched inflorescence units. Each inflorescence unit terminates in a stalked head or umbellule that develops sterile baccate “pseudo-fruits” and two lateral stalked heads or umbellules with fertile bisexual flowers and fruits.
