This Specialist Group (SSG) works to advance the assessment of extinction risk and associated biological research on the over 550 reef and estuarine species in six families of marine fishes throughout tropical and warm - temperate areas of the globe. With partners, this work advances policy actions that can best sustain fisheries on these species and the diverse socio - economic systems they support.

More about the Specialist Group

Hundreds of species of snappers, seabreams, grunts, threadfin breams, emperors and fusiliers inhabit tropical and warm temperate coastal regions, providing billions of dollars in seafood and other ecosystem services on coral reefs and in estuaries. However, many species are subject to heavy fishing mortality as well as habitat loss and potential effects of climate change. Management is further complicated by identification challenges, a common absence of species-specific fishery data, and still-changing species and genus names.

The SSG SG has over 70 science and management experts working in over 30 countries to achieve sustainable use of these diverse coastal fishes through the processing of complex phylogenetic challenges, population assessment research, and policy actions that engage communities in decision-making.听This work takes many forms, for example: completing the first 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List assessments of over 550 species, and protecting spawning aggregations.

Key Features of SSG Species听

  • they can inhabit almost every estuarine and coastal marine habitat in shallow tropical through temperate areas of the globe听
  • they are some of the most iconic coastal fisheries on the planet: many species are sold as 鈥渞ed snapper鈥 and several hundred others are also caught for food
  • they are taken by diverse fishing gears including various types of traps, nets, longlines, spears, hook and line, and trawls
  • evidence suggests many species are subject to heavy ...

  • they can inhabit almost every estuarine and coastal marine habitat in shallow tropical through temperate areas of the globe听
  • they are some of the most iconic coastal fisheries on the planet: many species are sold as 鈥渞ed snapper鈥 and several hundred others are also caught for food
  • they are taken by diverse fishing gears including various types of traps, nets, longlines, spears, hook and line, and trawls
  • evidence suggests many species are subject to heavy fishing pressure, habitat loss, and potential climate change effects
  • conservation planning and actions have focused in part on protecting the spawning aggregations of heavily fished species, as well as potential nursery habitats used by early life history stages.听
  • as of Oct 2022, approx. 86% of the estimated 551 SSG SG species have been assessed by the SSG SG and partners, and 82.5% published on the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List.

Specialist Group work

The Snapper, Seabream and Grunt Specialist Group (SSG SG) has 18 science and conservation targets within the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 2021-25 quadrennium. The highest priority targets include: 听Red List assessments of species from six coastal fish families, global work on educating practitioners in the identification of SSG spawning aggregations, the use of fisher鈥檚 knowledge in sustainable fishery management, the identification of SSG species undergoing high bycatch mortality, and other activities. Additional information follows.

Red Listing of over 550 Coastal Fish Species

To inform conservation efforts, many experts have worked with the SSG SG to assess species extinction risk for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species. With over 500 species completed, we are focused on completing the last 8% of species to finish the first-ever assessment of all species.听

Conservation through Spawning Site Protection, Bycatch Reduction, and Other Priorities

Species conservation findings are applied to priorities including regional by-catch reduction, protection of SSG spawning aggregation sites using research and training, applications of fishers鈥 knowledge, regional identification guides, and other priorities.

Applied Policy Actions to Sustain Populations and Species

To apply results from species Red List assessments and related research, we engage with diverse partners including universities, governments, fishers, and non-profits. We are expanding our website and other communication outlets to advance best practices in fishing and habitat management.听
