The World's Forgotten Fishes

[Silurus]

From the IUCN Freshwater Fish Specialist Group:

"A global consortium of 16 conservation organizations, led by WWF and including the Freshwater Fish Specialist Group, launched a new report on the state of freshwater fish today. Titled ‘The World’s Forgotten Fishes’, the report highlights the dire state of health of the world’s freshwater fish and calls for urgent action to halt and reverse their declining numbers.

You can check the online version of the report here.

Fantastic initiative and long overdue.
Everyone interested in conservation of freshwater fishes (all of us here I hope!) should join the Shoal!
