09/07 News
By Elizabeth M. Lukan to Marine News on Saturday, September 8th, 2007.Frank Greco of Frank’s Aquarium was kind enough to post a message to the UniQuaria Mailing List regarding the potential that CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) may be adding several new species to the list, including the Pterapogon kauderni (Banggai Cardinalfish). For more information, visit CITES’ Proposals for amendment of Appendices I and II. Special thanks to Carol E. Keen of Fish To The Nth for forwarding Frank’s post on to me.
