| Abstract |
- The problem of extinction in the sea has been recognized
only recently by the scientific community (Roberts and
Hawkins 1999). For the last decade, the American Fisheries
Society (AFS) has pursued an initiative to identify marine
fish stocks that may be at risk of extinction in North America
(Musick 1998; Coleman et al. 2000; Musick et al. 2000a;
Musick et al. 2000b; Parker et al. 2000). The present paper
presents the first recognized AFS list of marine, estuarine,
and diadromous fishes that may be at risk of extinction in
North America (exclusive of Pacific salmonids). The geographic
scope of this review includes the coastal waters of
Mexico, the continental United States, Alaska, and Canada.
The objectives in preparing this list have been to identify
stocks at risk at a sufficiently early stage of decline to
avoid listing as threatened or endangered, minimize the
probability of under- or overestimating the risk of extinction,
use the best existing knowledge of stock dynamics at
low population levels, and allow experts on stocks to bring
to bear all the available knowledge about life history and
conservation status in order to categorize risk of extinction.
