Amphibian diseases and invasive amphibian species are both generally introduced through the wildlife trade, either for human consumption or for the pet trade. However, adequate regulations can prevent such introductions. In the Republic of Korea, the establishment of invasive Lithobates catesbeianus populations resulted in the alteration of native species’ ecology and in an increase in Batrachochytrid load on local species. While not exemplified yet, the same risk arises from all species in the trade, some of which are already found in the wild despite the potential threats to the ecosystems. While regulations exist for the trade of wildlife in general, they are not directly addressing the amphibian trade, especially newly traded species. Thus, we recommend a restriction on the trade of amphibians in Korea.

关于限制对韩国两栖动物贸易的政策建议

两栖动物疾病和入侵的两栖动物物种通常都是通过野生动物贸易引入的，用于人类消费或宠物贸易。但是，适当的法规可以防止此类引入。在大韩民国，入侵的 Lithobates catesbeianus 种群的建立导致本地物种生态的改变和 Batrachochytrid 对当地物种的负载增加。虽然尚未举例说明，但贸易中的所有物种都存在同样的风险，尽管对生态系统存在潜在威胁，但其中一些物种已经在野外发现。虽然总体上存在针对野生动物贸易的法规，但它们并未直接针对两栖动物贸易，尤其是新贸易物种。因此，我们建议限制韩国的两栖动物贸易。
