Freshwater Fishes and The End of Nature

[ItsMeLucy]

Another article, on 50 species that only exist in captivity, was not sufficiently academic, so I extracted the fishes from its list and verified them separately.

Lucy, I promise I didn’t plan it this way – that all but one fish (Kunimazu) on this list were from Mexico.

Jason, the “article” is this: https://stacker.com/stories/plants-animals/50-species-no-longer-exist-wild and it states:

Using 2019 data from the IUCN Red List, Stacker chose 50 such species categorized as extinct in the wild from across the globe.

Bolding mine, to note that by its very nature that is an incomplete list, just 50 species picked to sort of fill in a globe, brought to you by

the first earned distribution platform to maximize the reach and impact of engaging content

To be clear, I did not appreciate this statement:

@jasonhernandez74

Where were you when people were attacking me for suggesting this?

As I do not think I nor anyone else attacked you. Nevertheless, it reinforced that I have zero desire to re-enter this topic. My position remains the same.

That said, I am glad you are beginning to look at additional sources.
