  • Red-knobbed Coot or Crested Coot (Fulica cristata)<br />
CAPTIVE, ENDANGERED SPECIES.<br />
Cañada de los Pájaros Reserve where they have a breeding program.<br />
near Doñana National & Natural Park. Huelva Province, Andalusia. SPAIN<br />
The marshlands in particular are a very important area for the migration, breeding and wintering of European and African birds. It is also an area of old cultures, traditions and human uses - most of which are still in existance.

  • The sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) at Danube Delta Eco-Tourism Museum Center, aquarium in Tulcea, Danube Delta, Romania (captive). It is a mall species of sturgeon native to large rivers that flow into the Black Sea, Azov Sea and Caspian Sea, as well as rivers in Siberia.

The sterlet has declined throughout its native range and is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. There are ongoing re-stocking projects and it has been introduced to some regions outside its native range, but the latter have generally not become self-sustaining.

  • The sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) at Danube Delta Eco-Tourism Museum Center, aquarium in Tulcea, Danube Delta, Romania (captive). It is a mall species of sturgeon native to large rivers that flow into the Black Sea, Azov Sea and Caspian Sea, as well as rivers in Siberia. Populations migrating between fresh- and saltwater (anadromous) suffering due to overfishing (for its flesh, caviar and isinglass), pollution and dams. The sterlet has declined throughout its native range and is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. There are ongoing re-stocking projects and it has been introduced to some regions outside its native range, but the latter have generally not become self-sustaining.

  • Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) Captive..Northern bluefin tuna.Thunnus thynnus.MALTA.Not long ago one of the most common fish in Europe, and the economic backbone of many Mediterranean cultures throughout the ages, the bluefin tuna has been the foundation of one of the world's most lucrative commercial fisheries. After decades of severe industrial overfishing by amongst others an over-sized European fishing fleet, this fantastic resource is now poised on the very brink of extinction. If that fishing isn't banned very soon, the magnificent tuna will be gone forever. The governments of all 27 EU countries in 2010  decided to back the international ban on trade in blufin tuna. Let us hope the world follows suit. Bluefin tuna are very large, long-lived fish that normally gather together in huge schools. They can reach 30 years of age and the heaviest recorded tuna to date weighed 680 kilos. The Atlantic population of bluefin tuna is estimated to have decreased by 97 % since the 1960s. In recent years, the European fishing fleet has still been taking 60,000 tons of tuna annually, in spite of a sustainable harvest being estimated at 7,500 tons. This is a fish that we should all immediately refrain from eating! The senseless overfishing of the tuna is a disaster of historical proportions. That is also why this photo had to be taken in captivity, at a tuna breeding facility. These fish have now all been served as Sushi.
