Species prioritization data, Hong Kong and Guangdong provinces, May 2008.

The default list below shows all species for Hong Kong and Guangdong provinces. The list can be sorted in any order, or filtered by one or more criteria. To sort or filter, move the cursor over the column headings (e.g. Extinction Risk, Conservation Role etc.), and then click on the arrow that appears. You can then choose the sort option, or filter by any of the values shown in the list. Multiple columns can be filtered at the same time.

Collection for food is an important threat. Captive farming is very successful - produced 400,000 and have kept animals for four generations. But almost extinct in the wild. Supplementation to the wild population would result in increased collection from wild populations. Unique biology and only species in this genus in the region. Research on skin secretions - may have anti-aging properties. Chose research dependent option but we have few details about this research.

Found in GD just west of Hong Kong in 2006 or 2007. Forest species that breeds in tree holes; requires good forest. Found in nature reserve and forest is protected there. Female deposits unfertilized eggs that the young feed on, but other species exhibit this behavior globally. This is a unique attribute in Asian frogs.

Adaptable species that does not appear to be threatened. Widely distributed and abundant. Only species of caecilian in China so important to country. Not much known on breeding biology. Would be hard to assess success of supplementation because they are fossorial and difficult to find. Research on their breeding biology would be useful. Has cultural importance because it is the only caecilian in China.

Habitat is unique. Inhabits mangrove forests and estuaries and can live and breed in pools with high salinity. Record from GD is questionable; there was a report from Macau (Boulenger) but no specimen was collected. Mangroves in Macau were destroyed long ago by reclamation so it probably no longer exists there if it ever did.

Species is under considerable threst in GD but is being managed in HK. Threats in HK may be reversible, but possibly not in GD
If GD is developed there are other places in HK that the population will survive GD has small pop because of overharvesting; threats being managed in HK but not GD. Being bred reliability in Europe but China pet trade is not supplemented by captive breeding. Easy to collect in wild and as long as there is a demand, they will be collected. Also considered another flagship species in HK. Study of skin toxins ongoing but there are a total of 7 species within Paramesotriton globally; so not dependent upon species.
