Classification Abbreviations

AR = At Risk in Nature: (Dr. Paul V. Loiselle)

CD = Conservation Dependent: (i.e., the species is part of a conservation program, which, if ended, would result in the fish being reclassified as Threatened within 5 years.)

CP = Conservation Priority: Species suitable for Breeder Award Programs. (Dr. Paul V. Loiselle)

CR = Critically Endangered: A species facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future (same as EE used by de Rham, & Nourissat)

EN = Endangered: Species facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. (Includes species on the ALA list (2) shown as Threatened.)

EW = Extinct in the Wild: Known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalized population (or populations) well outside the past range.

EX = Extinct: There is no reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.

NT = Near Threatened: Species which are close to qualifying for classification to Vulnerable.

VU = Vulnerable: A species facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium term future.
