  • Endangered Fish Species of the World–A Review
    AACL BIOFLUX Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation International Journal of the Bioflux Society Endangered fish species of the world – a review 1,2Radu Hărșan, 1,3,4I. Valentin Petrescu-Mag 1 Department of Aquaculture, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 2 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 3 SC Bioflux SRL, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, EU; 4 SC 3M AGC SRL, Cluj- Napoca, Romania, EU. Corresponding author: R. Hărșan, [email protected] Abstract. The present paper summarizes a large part of the endangered and critically endangered fish species of the world. The list was constructed using the comprehensive IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (available in December 2008) and the well elaborated FISHBASE (available on the official website, in 2008) for taxonomy and accepted scientific names of the species. To these two important sources, many scientific papers and communications were added when recent and useful reports were found. However, there is a long way from the fish species list of this review to the world’s complete list of endangered and critically endangered fish species. In our list were not included subspecies, populations, varieties, or species having a debatable taxonomic status. The scope of this review was not to inventorize all the fishes included in these two categories, but to make possible drawing some general conclusions regarding most important possible causes of fish species extinction and to make suggestions concerning fish species conservation possibilities through aquaculture. Key Words: endangered fish species, critically endangered, causes, population trend.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3').

    Ramsar Sites Information Service Annotated List of Wetlands of International Importance Madagascar 21 Ramsar Site(s) covering 2,147,911 ha Barrière de Corail Nosy Ve Androka Site number: 2,285 | Country: Madagascar | Administrative region: Région de Atsimo-Andrefana (Sud-Ouest), ainsi que les districts de Toliary II et d’Ampanihy Area: 91,445 ha | Coordinates: 24°34'06"S 43°52'22"E | Designation dates: 02-02-2017 View Site details in RSIS The Ramsar Site is a cluster of eight areas along the southern coast of Madagascar. It includes a network of coral reefs and marine habitats, such as deep shoals with deep coral reefs and beaches. It hosts about 140 species of corals, 240 species of fish, molluscs, echinoderms and marine phanerogams. There are also rare species such as the critically endangered coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae, five species of marine turtle (Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, Caretta caretta and Dermochelys coriacea), dugongs, dolphins and whales. There are three species of damselfish (Pomacentrus sulfureus, Pomacentrus trilineatus and Abudefduf sparoides) which are endemic to the western Indian Ocean. The Site is also the only breeding place for an endemic colony of red-tailed tropicbird. The ecological and economic values of the coral reefs support the human population of the south-western region, particularly through fishing and tourism. However, anthropogenic pressures threaten their integrity, as do droughts that have caused agro-pastoralists to take up fishing as an alternative livelihood. Complexe des lacs Ambondro et Sirave (CLAS) Site number: 2,224 | Country: Madagascar | Administrative region: Menabe Area: 14,481.5 ha | Coordinates: 20°54'24"S 43°56'10"E | Designation dates: 02-02-2015 View Site details in RSIS The Complexe des lacs Ambondro et Sirave (Complex of Lakes Ambrondo and Sirave, or CLAS) features a variety of habitats including dune lakes, mangrove forests, intertidal zones and marshes.
