Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes
Life-history benchmarks 259 Qualitative ranking using threat correlates 259 Abstract The decline and disappearance of species from large parts of their former geographical range has become an important issue in fisheries ecology. There is a need to identify which species are at risk of extinction. The available approaches have been subject to considerable debate – particularly when applied to c...
متن کاملExtinction Risk and Overfishing: Reconciling Conservation and Fisheries Perspectives on the Status of Marine Fishes
Anthropogenic disturbances are ubiquitous in the ocean, but their impacts on marine species are hotly debated. We evaluated marine fish statuses using conservation (Red List threatened or not) and fisheries (above or below reference points) metrics, compared their alignment, and diagnosed why discrepancies arise. Whereas only 13.5% of Red Listed marine fishes (n = 2952) are threatened, 40% and ...

REGIONAL EXTINCTION RISK AND CONSERVATION PRIORITIES FOR PERSIAN GULF MARINE BONY FISHES Jack R. Buchanan Old Dominion University, 2016 Advisor: Dr. Kent Carpenter Around the world, protected areas are the primary conservation measure used to combat biodiversity loss; however, these are often established without comprehensive species-specific information, leading to placement in areas that ofte...
متن کاملGap analysis on the biology of Mediterranean marine fishes
We estimated the current level of knowledge concerning several biological characteristics of the Mediterranean marine fishes by carrying out a gap analysis based on information extracted from the literature, aiming to identify research trends and future needs in the field of Mediterranean fish biology that can be used in stock assessments, ecosystem modeling and fisheries management. Based on t...
متن کاملDiversity, extinction risk and conservation of Malaysian fishes.
A total of 1951 species of freshwater and marine fishes belonging to 704 genera and 186 families are recorded in Malaysia. Almost half (48%) are currently threatened to some degree, while nearly one third (27%) mostly from the marine and coral habitats require urgent scientific studies to evaluate their status. Freshwater habitats encompass the highest percentage of threatened fish species (87%...
