Current Status of Fish on the CMS Appendices
Sturgeon (19 species)Shark (7species)Catfish (1 species)Ray (1 species)
5 species CMS Appendix I27 species CMS Appendix II
Recent additions
COP 9Isurus oxyrinchus (shortfin mako)Isurus paucus (longfin mako)Lamna nasus (porbeagle)Squalus acanthias (spiny dogfish)
COP 10Manta birostris (manta ray)
Potential new listings(South American species)
Potential New Listings on Appendix II
4 species of freshwater fish from South America (submitted by Paraguay):Brycon orbignyanus, Salminus hilarii, Genidens barbus and Zungaro jahu
4 new “shark” listings
Proposals circulating for hammerhead, angel shark, sawfish, and several species of ray
Potential new shark listings on Appendix I or II
CERTAINLY MANY FISH SPECIES WOULD BENEFIT FROM CMS LISTING BUT…
Lack of geographic coverage(e.g. Mekong species, taimen)
Range states of high priority species not party to CMS
Lack of information(South American species, some marine species
like sawfish
Lack of Information
On fish migration, especially in tropical systems
Lack of consensus that CMS is the most appropriate management instrument
Opportunities
Sharks, rays, and sawfishopportunity w/new sharks agreement; obvious interest in sharks,
how does CMS listing relate to listing on the shark MOU?
