Conservation threat status

New Zealand's freshwater fish Conservation threat status table

A table showing New Zealand freshwater fish that appear on the IUCN Red List. The third column shows the status of each fish on the New Zealand Threat Classification System. This system, developed in 2002, is used to rank our native species according to the threat of extinction. It was designed to complement the IUCN system and is tailored to New Zealand’s unique ecology.
