3rd July 2013 :: IUCN Red List Status added

Post by Jools »

All,

We've introduced a new field on the species data sheet that shows the IUCN Red List Status for any evaluated species. This enhancement (the work for which was carried out 100% by MatsP) addresses the request, in several places, to have this data on the site.

This data will be refreshed periodically to keep up with changes over time of this key indicator.

A new IUCN status page and links to it is now online: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/iucn_list.php .

Thanks Rupert, the data is pretty poor, but it will hopefully improve over time. The data we have tells that that outside of , near endangered, endangered or worse catfish species are not really exploited by aquarists.

The page has been updated to allow showing only species on a particular IUCN status.

The same page is now available on AquaticRepublic ( here ) and will get the new status selection feature added overnight.
