Threatened to extinct fishes of Bangladesh: The
IUCN Bangladesh has made a list of threatened to extinct fishes of
Bangladesh. These species are considered as threatened fishes of
Bangladesh. The National Categories of Threatened Animals are based on
the Global Threatened Categories of IUCN. Bangladesh National Criteria
were developed on the basis of qualitative data due to the lack of
quantitative ones. The National Categories and Criteria are as follows- Categories: Critically Endangered (CR):
A taxon is Critically Endangered when it is facing an extremely high
risk of extinction in the wild in Bangladesh in the immediate future. Endangered (EN):
A taxon is Endangered when it is not Critically Endangered but is
facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in Bangladesh in the
near future. Vulnerable (VU): A taxon is
Vulnerable when it is not Critically Endangered or Endangered but is
facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in Bangladesh in the
medium-term future. Data Deficient (DD):
A taxon is Data Deficient where there is inadequate information to make
a direct, or indirect assessment of its risk of extinction in
Bangladesh. Not Threatened (NO): A taxon
is Not Threatened when it is out of the four above-mentioned
categories. i.e. which has no apparent threat of extinction in
Bangladesh.
