Checklist of fish and invertebrates listed in the CITES appendices (1st edition) 1988

Abstract

This checklist forms part of a series prepared for the United Kingdom's Scientific Authority for Animals to assist in implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

The purpose of this work is to provide a list of the species and subspecies of fish and invertebrates included in Appendices I, II and III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Other checklists in the same series have also included all species listed in the IUCN Red Data Book.

This volume departs from this standard and only makes reference to the Red Data Book status of the CITES-listed species. This is because Pisces and Invertebrata are such large groups that a great deal still remains to be done before we can have an evaluation of the status of many species. Thus, the Red Data Books for these two groups are not comprehensive reviews of all the threatened species, but instead contain only representative examples of the types of threats suffered by these groups.

Please note that this resource has been produced from a scan of an original document. You may therefore experience fluctuations in quality.

Subsequent editions of this resource have been published and are available. The most recent is the 7th edition published in 2005.
