Ugrožene vrste riba u svijetu: Coptodon walteri (Thys van den Audenaerde 1968) (Perciformes: Cichlidae)

Abstract

Coptodon walteri Thys van den Audenaerde 1968, an endemic cichlid of Ivory Coast and Liberia, is assessed as Near Threatened due to fishing pressure and loss of habitats, and aquatic pollution as a result of extensive clandestine gold mining in the bed of the Cavally River. There is an immediate need for developing conservation and management plans for this species.
