European Red List of marine fishes

Starting in 2007 with the launch of the European Red List of Mammals, all vertebrate groups have since been assessed according to the same IUCN Red List methodology; the current Red List for marine fishes is thus filling a gap for the last group of vertebrates that still remained to be assessed. Accordingly, for the first time ever, an assessment of the extinction risk for each and every vertebrate species occurring in the European Union (and in Europe) is now available.
