A practical key for the identification of large fish rostra (Pisces). Spixiana 38 (1): 145-160. Large fish rostra without data of origin or determination are present in many museum collections or may appear in customs inspections. In recent years the inclu- sion of fish species on national and international lists for the protection of wildlife resulted in increased trading regulations. Therefore, useful identification tools are of growing importance. Here, we present a practical key for large fish rostra for the families Pristidae, Pristiophoridae, Xiphiidae and Istiophoridae. This key allows determination on species level for three of four families. Descriptions of the rostrum characteristics of the respective taxa are given.

Opening of the meeting The Chair opened the meeting and welcomed all participants, before giving the floor to the Secretary- General, who also welcomed everyone and introduced new members of the Secretariat's scientific team (Mr De Meulenaer and Ms Kwitsinskaia) and enforcement team (Ms Garcia Ferreira, Ms Jonsson and Mr van Rensburg). He wished the Committee well in its deliberations. The Chair thanked the Secretary-General and invited suggestions as to how the Conference of the Parties could establish stronger measures to support the Committee as well as export countries, which deserved particular assistance. No other intervention was made during discussion of this item.1 2. Rules of Procedure The Secretariat introduced document AC26 Doc. 2 and proposed amending Rule 22 as follows: “On request, the Secretariat shall distribute printed and translated documents...”. The Secretariat explained that most members regularly indicated that they did not need printed copies and that this proposal was made to reduce costs. Although not opposed to the change in principle, a Party regretted that the suggestion had not been presented in the document, which would have given Parties time to consider it, and was concerned that this unannounced proposal might create a precedent. Another Party asked a question on the procedure to accept observers, but the Chair invited it to raise this topic under agenda item 4 on Admission of observers.

  • 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.
